A How Can Skeletal Models and Physics Help Us Understand Pain Perception?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the use of skeletal models and physics to simulate pain perception, with a focus on understanding the relationship between movement vectors, delta time, mass, and collision impact. The original poster expresses a desire to create a system that can quantify pain without malicious intent. However, the topic raises ethical concerns, drawing parallels to the Milgram experiments, which explored obedience and the infliction of pain. Participants in the discussion find the subject disturbing and suggest closing the thread due to its sensitive nature. The conversation highlights the complexities of studying pain perception through a scientific lens.

TL;DR Summary
Given a movement vector, delta time, mass and size in a collision how much pain would it cause to a person (This is just simulation)?
I am not cooking up a torture device or a weapon. In fact, I have been spending time with skeletal models. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain. Even if I were to try to work this out myself and get some kind of answer that relates to physics, how would I know for sure what it means?

. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain.
What?
 
This is a disturbing topic. Its reminescent of the Milgram experiments in pain perception and people inflicting the pain on others as part of obedience to some authority.

We think its best to close this thread now.

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...

Thread 'Does Poisson's equation hold due to vector potential cancellation?'

Imagine that two charged particles, with charge ##+q##, start at the origin and then move apart symmetrically on the ##+y## and ##-y## axes due to their electrostatic repulsion. The ##y##-component of the retarded Liénard-Wiechert vector potential at a point along the ##x##-axis due to the two charges is $$ \begin{eqnarray*} A_y&=&\frac{q\,[\dot{y}]_{\mathrm{ret}}}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 c^2[(x^2+y^2)^{1/2}+y\dot{y}/c]_{\mathrm{ret}}}\tag{1}\\...
