Image:Gravity well plot.svg

Something weird happened -- I was just trying to upload fixed SVG file, but somehow the entire previous comment of the image description page was nuked (never seen that happen before). AnonMoos 00:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. (For future reference, how did you fix it? I don't doubt it was broken, since it didn't display correctly in Firefox.) -- BenRG 00:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Changed several things, but the one which was critical was that the BBox was wrong (viewBox="0px 676px 300px 116px" in old file, viewBox="0 0 300 116" in new file), which caused the image to display a region of the plane where nothing had been drawn... AnonMoos 05:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, BenRG!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

File:CIExy1931 fixed.svg

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CIExy1931_fixed.svg . Beautiful. But how accurate would it be with the SVG blur? OK, I don't know much, but wouldn't it be inaccurate if the spectral colours are from a JPEG image?

Milne Explosion

Hi Ben,

I was just remembering a usenet discussion from at least a decade ago, where you explained to me that the Lorentz invariant matter distribution was equipartition in rapidity instead of equipartition of energy. I mentioned it at Researchgate today in a discussion about the relativity of simultaneity and linked to My "Milne Explosion" page I see this has something in common with your Boosted Milne Universe with CMBR here

I don't know whether you think the Milne model is just a "toy model" or a legitimate hypothesis for the actual "shape" of the universe, but I feel pretty serious about thinking that what I call the "Modified Milne Model" is probably correct.

I've got a number of videos on youtube, that describe my evolving conception of this model.
