Topology

Star refinement

In mathematics, specifically in the study of topology and open covers of a topological space X, a star refinement is a particular kind of refinement of an open cover of X. The general definition makes sense for arbitrary coverings and does not require a topology. Let be a set and let be a covering of , i.e., . Given a subset of then the star of with respect to is the union of all the sets that intersect , i.e.: Given a point , we write instead of . Note that . The covering of is said to be a refinement of a covering of if every is contained in some . The covering is said to be a barycentric refinement of if for every the star is contained in some . Finally, the covering is said to be a star refinement of if for every the star is contained in some . Star refinements are used in the definition of fully normal space and in one definition of uniform space. It is also useful for stating a characterization of paracompactness. (Wikipedia).

Spectroscopy - Splitting the Starlight

How do we know what stars are made of? Starlight contains millions of fingerprints - spectral lines, which are produced by chemical compounds in the form of molecules, atoms, which are present in the atmospheres of stars and planets. The films shows how scientists decode stellar light and

DIY StarLite Refinement - Burning WIth Buba-ish - Part 1

Today boys and girls... we are refining NightHawkInLight's DIY Starlite recipe https://youtu.be/aqR4_UoBIzY to find out what ratio works best and if adding anything else improves it's thermal characteristics. at then end I melt some copper on a sheet that is only 1/16" of an inch thick!
