• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divergence Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It (along with Stokes’ theorem (they’re actually the same theorem in different dimensions)) helps yield Maxwell’s equations; specifically, if you want to change the flux of the electric field through a surface (right hand side), you need to change the amount of charge it contains (the source of the divergence on the left hand side). In other words, if you have the same charge contained by a surface, it will have the same flux going through it, which means you can change the surface however you wish and the math will still be the same. Physicists use this to reduce some complex problems into problems on a sphere or a box—objects with nice, easily calculable symmetries.

  Looking this up, I found a bunch of stuff from last year talking about it and only the yahoo source from the past couple days. I also found this:

  earthsky.org/…/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-…

  Which suggests no m9.8 flare recently

  Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it?

  Hit the nail pretty hard on the head there
