we just got our first snow this year [a few inches]

though the thermostat is set normally, and it's very cold outside, it's more comfortable inside the house than normally. This is something I've noticed many times. I think it is the effect of snow on the roof, an "igloo effect"

no matter how I ask the question, nothing comes up about this when you google [I couldn't anyway].

It is short lived, but I swear it's there.



It's called R-value or R-factor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

About R-1 for one inch of average snow.

If close to the gulf, it'd change and wouldn't be average snow.

Who is the most famous Arab mathematician?

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi
Perhaps the most famous mathematician was Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (ca. 800-ca. 847), author of several treatises of earth-shattering importance. [Algebra and Trigonometry]
__

What math was named by the Arabs?

the one who established algebra as a mathematical discipline that is independent of geometry and arithmetic was a Persian who wrote in Arabic: the mathematician and astronomer al-Khwarizmi. The term algebra derives from the title of his book Ilm al-jabr wa l-muqābala "The Science of Restoring and Balancing". [emphasis mine]
__

Who was the Arab inventor of calculus?

For ibn al-Haytham as for mathematicians in the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia, the problem of calculating areas and volumes came down to the problem of finding sums of powers of consecutive integers. Ibn al-Haytham was one of many mathematicians in many different places who succeeded in solving this problem



The second time we learned it or maybe the 100th time.

Our Sun could be a part of a dual star system (dark star):

https://binaryresearchinstitute.org/bri/calculations/precession-data-analysis/


We just found it I think:

https://www.nasa.gov/universe/exoplanets/webb-discovers-methane-carbon-dioxide-in-atmosphere-of-k2-18-b/


We knew about it long ago and still know about it, depending on what side a person is on and how high the person's class.

They say it's in the direction of Leo.

The galactic center is at about 26 degrees Sagittarius (black hole or central wormhole).


But if that isn't it, we'll find it again.

The Oort cloud is 2 light years away.


It was called Nemesis (one name at one point in time):

thanks, one line about snow, but it's there

I remember using the reciprocal of R value for something ... which Wikip. says is "The U-value" and " can be calculated as well by taking the reciprocal of the R-value. " Something to do with measuring the joules of heat energy that flows through the insulation. Wikipedia doesn't explain it very well but gives an equation to show off how smart somebody is. [just my impression]

If it exists some think it disturbs the Oort cloud on a periodic basis, causing a rain of comets into the inner solar system, and is connected to extinction events.

Or that could be planet X doing that

Nibiru, but I read recently it broke up too.

I'm not so sure about it breaking up.

This one is called Biden (maybe because it falls LOL).
