Metric TensorMandelbrothI can't edit it, but this page bothers me. I think the whole thing should be a subcategory for a metric tensor entry or a separate page, like "Metric Tensor...
simple Lie algebralpetrichWhat I describe is evident when one uses the "Cartan-Weyl basis": 10.Cartan-Weyl_basis.pdf (http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/fnkirson/Alg13/10.Cartan-Weyl_basis.pdf)
magnetic fieldboisebratsit would seem that if this was so, that all other planets mars, mercury etc. would exhibit the same magnetic field with varying mathematical predictability,. . .
magnetic fieldVelikovskyIs it a possibility that the earth's magnetic field is a result of it's rotation within the electrical/plasmic field/flux given of by the sun? If the earth were to theoretically...
simple Lie algebraamos carine"The Cartan subalgebra can be used in a fashion analogous to the projected angular momentum in quantum mechanics, with the other elements being analogous to raising and lowering operators." Is there...
electric fieldDrmarshallSo electric fields, having energy, have inertia So they "distort space" - whatever "space " is - and "cause gravitational forces (whatever they are).
magnetic fieldSteveDavePer Dr. J. Marvin Herndon in 2007, the Earth's elctromagnetic field is genrated by a possible fission reactor system at the Earth's core, enlayered by an unknow liquid system flowing...

Euler's formulatiny-timCorrected mistake in LaTeX.
angular momentumtiny-timCorrected references to centre of rotation in "Calculating dL/dt:" in ext expl. Thanks to Karol :smile: for pointing this out!
momentumGovind.A.SSection 3 and 5 OK now. Question 2- not answered 2) I section6, p=h/wavelength, is this momentum a vector? If so, what is the direction? If not, why not? ~EDIT (tiny-tim): p=...
Lorentz transformationPadam R BWhy do we take velocity as constant while deriving lorentz equations and not constant while deriving energy mass equivalence? ~EDIT(tiny-tim): a Lorentz transformation is defined as between two inertial observers (ie...
work doneGovind.A.SWhy do you say "Potential energy depends only on position,"?. What about "configuration"? or elastic potential energy of a spring? Microscopically, it depends on positin of atoms, but when we...
momentumGovind.A.S1) In section3 and 5, p, delta(p), J etc are vectors. Pls show arrow symbol on top. 2) I section6, p=h/wavelength, is this momentum a vector? If so, what is the...

wave-particle dualityWMJA reaction force? The crux of the matter is, what sort of force is it. The force must be influenced by the two slits, in which case it could be...
