The Sandman (short story) is a short story by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, which he wrote in 1817. It's a science fiction horror story. Plot. When he was a child, Nathaniel snuck out of his room at night and watched his father work with an alchemist named Coppelius on creating robots called automatons. When Nathaniel was scared and screamed, Coppelius decided to take his eyes out of his head and put them in an automaton but Nathaniel’s father stopped him so Nathaniel woke up thinking it was a nightmare. Years later a man named Coppola came to Nathaniel to sell him glasses and Nathaniel threatened to throw him out a window because he reminded him of Coppelius. Nathaniel wrote to his girlfriend Clara and her brother Lothar telling them what happened to him in his childhood but they think it's a false memory so Nathaniel breaks up with Clara. After Professor Spallanzani tells Nathaniel that Coppola comes from Italy and Coppelius is from Germany, Nathaniel buys a telescope from Coppola. Then Nathaniel sees Spallanzani’s daughter Olympia with the telescope and falls in love with her. Then Coppelius tears her human eyes out of her machine head and runs away as it turns out Olympia is an automaton. Nathaniel has a nervous breakdown and starts to have psychosis. After Nathaniel gets better he decides to marry Clara but then he sees Coppelius with the telescope and goes violently insane. Nathaniel kills himself and Coppelius tears his eyes out of his head and runs away laughing with them probably planning to use them when making new automatons. Freud’s analysis. Sigmund Freud wrote an essay on The Sandman in which he came up with the idea of the uncanny which is also the source of the idea of the uncanny valley.

Willan's Formula is a formula that can find the "nth" prime number. formula_1 Proof. Let's first start with the formula_2. Wilson's theorem says if formula_3 is divisible by formula_4, than formula_4 is either a prime number or formula_6, meaning when formula_4 is prime, formula_2 is an integer. It would be much easier if the formula gives a number instead of checking if the number is an integer, and we can do this with the formula_9 part. The reason the formula has formula_10 multiplied by the formula_2 part is because when formula_2 is an integer, formula_13 will give formula_6 or formula_15.  When squaring the result then formula_13 will equal formula_6 when formula_2 is an integer. By flooring this, the only results are formula_6 when formula_2 is an integer and formula_21 when it isn't, leavingformula_9. The formula_23 will add formula_6s for the primes formula_6 - formula_26 and and will sum up to the formula_27. The formula_28 in short will give formula_6 if formula_30 and formula_21 when formula_32. Take the formula_33 of both sides where formula_33 is the "nth" prime number: formula_6 when formula_36 formula_37 formula_38 formula_39 formula_21 when formula_36 formula_42 formula_43 formula_39 formula_45 gives the number formula_15, and the formula_15 is because when formula_48 formula_39 reaches formula_50 formula_39, the function doesn't add 1. The formula adds up to formula_52 is because Bertrand's postulate says formula_52 is bigger than the "nth" prime number. And finally, formula_6 is added because of the formula_15.

In astrophysics, a bow shock triggers when the magnetosphere of an astrophysical object interacts with the nearby flowing ambient plasma such as the solar wind. For Earth and other magnetized planets, it is the border at which the speed of the stellar wind suddenly drops as a result of its approach to the magnetopause. For stars, this border is usually the edge of the astrosphere, where the stellar wind meets the interstellar medium. Description. The defining judging requirement of a shock wave is that the bulk velocity (speed) of the plasma drops from "supersonic" to "subsonic", where the speed of sound cs is defined by formula_1 where formula_2 is the ratio of specific heats, formula_3 is the pressure, and formula_4 is the density of the plasma.  A common difficulty in astrophysics is the presence of a magnetic field. For example, the charged particles making up the solar wind follow spiral paths along magnetic field lines. The velocity (speed) of each particle as it moves around a field line can be treated similarly to a thermal velocity in an ordinary gas, and in an ordinary gas the mean thermal velocity is about the speed of sound. At the bow shock, the bulk forward velocity of the wind (which is the part of the velocity parallel to the field lines about which the particles moving in a spiral path.) drops below the speed at which the particles are moving at a spiral path. Around the Earth. The best-studied example of a bow shock is that it occurs where the Sun's wind encounters Earth's magnetopause, although bow shocks occur around all planets, also unmagnetized, such as Mars and Venus and magnetized, such as Jupiter or Saturn. Earth's bow shock is about 17 kilometres thick and located about 90,000 km from the planet. At comets. Bow shocks form at comets as a result of the interaction between the solar wind and the cometary ionosphere. Far away from the Sun, a comet is an icy boulder without an atmosphere. As it approaches the Sun, the heat of the sunlight causes gas to be released from the cometary nucleus, creating an atmosphere called a coma. The coma is
