Brony Science Journal · 10:22pm Jul 18th, 2018
Announcing the launch of the Journal of Equestrian Science, possibly the first publication devoted to the scientific study of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This was an idea which came out of Needling Haystack's panel at Nightmare Nights Dallas last year, (check out his YouTube channel). It is the also the work of PsiStarPsi , FiauraTheTankGirl, (and me).
If you want to warp your head around the shape of Equestrian space-time and do some serious study into the mechanics of how pegasi hover in mid air, you can read our fully referenced, open access, rigorously peer-reviewed papers here:

Lovin' it. I would be very interested in an investigation into Luna's bite force/pressure, as demonstrated on the pineapple in A Royal Problem. If the opportunity should arise, of course.
Awesome! Downloaded and about to read. Thank you for it.
Awesome! And instantly more prestigious than the Answers Research Journal and its ilk!
The real question is, where are you finding alicorns for peer review?
Trouble is, youre still using the non congruent quantum relativistic functions instead of the unified formula.
Ill give you a hint. You see that Lorentz Fitzgerald function for y, gamma?
c=y.c0 where c0 is the Einsteinien speed of light in the limit of zero energy density.
The limit of gravitational field therefore is the plank mass. Which has no mass, only graviational energy. Electrons have no mass, only charge mass energy.
Still under review, neutrinos are 4 dimentional objects and the three flavours are its three different rotations from axis w to x,y,z. Neutriinos are one set of rotations, w to x around y, and antineutrinos, w to x around z?
Still trying to sort out the Kaluza Klein electromagnetic gravitational function, great for telekineses etc, but that requires 5 spacetime dimentions, but how many are real, and how many are mathematical?
Watch out for those complex intermediaries, quaternions and octoniions. As in, what if you take the scalar and vector of octonion, and QM and GR share the scalar, one of the vectors, and the remaining 6 vectors are split 3,3 each?
When you have eliminated the imossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
By the way. You dont need Cophenagen in non preferential frame of reference multiverse, and you dont need Pilot wave in Procedural generation.
I love that this is a thing that exists.
Nicely done! (Though I'm dreading pulling out my old textbooks to crib from...)

Thank you. Although that isn't a very high hurdle to overcome.

As we need to protect the anonymity of our reviewers, we cannot answer that question.
One question, professor Pineta, the integration variable t' in equation 3 confuses me.
How did Twilight substitute t' as t and conclude from equation 3 to equation 4? Substituting v(t) to equation (3) doesn't make sense...
As a non-majored student, I don't understand the paper.

t' is a dummy variable in equation 3. Once you evaluate the integral and plug in the limits it disappears and you have a function of t. Equation 5 specifies v as a function of t, but in equation 3 it is a function of t' (so you replace t by t' when substituting it in).
These are not trivial integrals - see reference 5 for more details. I didn't want to dwell on the maths as the paper is discussing what the result means. This is written as a scientific paper so it does need a bit of familiarity with physics to follow. I wrote a less technical version, with more pictures, here: It's About Time Dilation

Aw! Didn't see the variable for tau(t) is at the upper bound of the integral! That makes sense! And it is the only part that makes sense! It amazing how the latter part of the paper analyzes how pegasus flies...
While I was reading the paper, the narrative voice gradually morphed into Twilight's voice, making the read much more pleasant!
Really hope my professor is a fan of MLP
I had to wait for the weekend for the time to read the article. ¡It was worth the wait!
¡Bravo!
What's the impact factor for this baby?
Came across this looking at other stuff... Kinda bummed we haven't moved forward on a second issue, but all of the writers have been very busy since this came out, and we haven't had offers from any new writers.
I have been meaning to put out an addendum analyzing a question someone asked on Deviantart about a scene in which Fluttershy drops a weight but continues flapping at the same speed. Haven't come up with a good answer, though...

Yes, it would be good if we could get some new people interested in writing for this. I'm got too much going on at the moment to take on anything else, but let me know if I can advertise anything on my blog. You could probably fill a paper just with a list of unanswered questions and scenes requiring explanation.

Yes but someone has to write the explanations. :P
Since we now have a definite endpoint such a project could go season by season and run at exactly 9 issues. Hmmm...
