What is the Schechter luminosity function's domain of support? Thanks; this is exactly what I was after. I have little grounding in astropjhysics, so didn't quite grasp the nuances of this formalism. Your answer has cleared things up for me :-) |

Cases of any known fundamental physical constants changing within our locality? @Arjang: That is not the definition of $\pi$. If $\pi$ is a constant then its definition must yield a unique value that is the same in all contexts. The sum of angles in a triangle is $\pi$ in a Euclidean geometry, but not in other geometries. |

A fan in a hot room at what point does it put in more energy that it dissipates Too many variables for a useful answer; it depends entirely on the airflow generated by the fan, which is likely to be very complex. You'll have to make assumptions about the rate at which air is being circulated over the walls. |

What does the ordering of creation/annihilation operators mean? I understand that they describe transitions of particles, but this to me doesn't suggest that the order of the transitions should make any difference, or indeed what that should even mean in the absence of time. Is it to do with the details of the interactions? |
