!physics Friday release: Inertial Reference-Frame Interaction Hypothesis (IRFIH)

Nested inertial frames—Earth, Sun, Galaxy—can exchange angular momentum. IRFIH derives a coupling term matching mm/s fly-by Δv still unexplained by GR.

Plain Lagrangian mechanics; no new constants. Predicts measurable effects on upcoming GEO-transfer perigees.

I indulged myself re-reading my finest ever piece of writing: the poliastro 2022 paper for #SciPyUS2022 doi.org/10.25080/maj... Now re-rendered with @curvenote.com to look extra cool 🔥 I'm so damn proud of this work. I miss Astrodynamics and applied math so much 💔 #python #scipy #astrodynamics

#introduction

Hey! 👋 I'm Isaac, Mathematician and Data Scientist from Spain, currenly doing my PhD in #astrodynamics and #artificialintelligence

Overall nerd, I'll mostly post about #technology #science #gamedev and #books .

I also like doing cool math art with processing, so I may post some of those from time to time...

Fun moment last night: to save time and real analysis, used the fact that it was recently Chinese New Year, and that I'd seen the moon while on school run, to quickly determine that NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was visible as a test tracking target. #nasa #astrodynamics #intuitivemachines
While #intuitivemachines launch may have been scrubbed today, it does give me the fun of reconverting the trajectory data ready for tracking support from #goonhilly tomorrow. Locked and loaded. Or, blocked and parsed. Or maybe grokked and streamed. Rotated and mapped. Transformed and converged. Mashed and piped.
