    Lift as a consequence of streamline arguments

    arildno I am not implying that any of fluid dynamics is incorrect. I am saying that you ignore the molecular mechanism and the basic force of nature in your consideration and as a result you arrive at an incorrect reason for the function. This requires you to develop a complicated reason...

    Lift as a consequence of streamline arguments

    |2eason thank you for your humor. I of course find it funny for different reasons.

    Lift as a consequence of streamline arguments

    Clausius2 There is never a need to look deeper into a problem if you are happy with what you have. As an engineer I am sure you were told that you did not need to understand the physics of a problem to work a solution. Again you are looking only at the macro understanding of the...

    Lift as a consequence of streamline arguments

    You need to look at lift on the atomic scale in order to understand the mechanism that results in lift. The shape of the wing is the important part. The molecules of air going over the top of the wing are attracted to the surface of the wing (gravitational force). As the molecules are diverted...

    Is There an Absolute Rest Frame in a 2D Universe?

    Yogi: You are correct. The BB theory agrees with all experiment or observation and is more logical than all other theories. If you leave Earth and go to a more massive planet you do not move forward or back in time during the time that you are on the heavy planet. A clock that you take...

    Is There an Absolute Rest Frame in a 2D Universe?

    SR does not allow for a preferred frame of reference and therefore it does not apply to the Big Bang. If you accept the concept that the Big Bang is the starting point of our universe, and there is much evidence to prove that it was, then you must accept the fact that the BB is the prime...

    Why Do Different Countries Use 220V@50Hz and 120V@60Hz?

    There may be some places in the world that use 20 Hz. The old streetcar used 20 Hz. When they were taken out of service the power plants were sold to some cities in other countries. They were still in use about 20 years ago. I think the reason they used 20 Hz back then is that they used rotary...

    RTT’s mind boggling Time Dilation Paradox

    I think this is a very good question. If you go back in the direction of Earth does you clock go faster and tick at the same rate as the clocks on Earth or slower? Which direction can you go to have your clock run the fastest? How can this be if there is no absolute rest frame?

    Age Relative? Time, Speed and Paradox Explored

    Fredrik: Now that we are in TD we can work from observation and develop a theory works in all cases including QM. A good place to start is the Big Bang. Again I ask you did the BB create all that there is including space, time, spacetime, or is there a basic frame of dimensions that...

    Age Relative? Time, Speed and Paradox Explored

    Ramollari: You have the right idea in the first place. Don’t be put off by convoluted answers. As proved by experiment. It is a fact that two clocks do not agree on accumulated time when one transitions away and returns to the first clock. The difference has nothing to do with acceleration or...

    Clock Synchronization: How to Measure Photon Velocity

    Hi juju: The reason to send the first sync pulse is to remove all differences in the system at the start. This gives you a starting point of zero difference for the velocity you are moving on the Earth at the start. As your relative velocity changes as the Earth rotates the pulses should change...

    Age Relative? Time, Speed and Paradox Explored

    You seem to be unable to grasp the concept that a theory may be valid within defined limits and totally wrong outside of those limits. If SR or GR were correct in all cases Einstein would not have failed to find unification. SR is a fine little theory and describes very well what an observer...

    Clock Synchronization: How to Measure Photon Velocity

    At noon time you take two clocks 10 miles apart. At some point in between the two clocks near the middle you send a signal to both clocks and reset them. The clocks then send signals to you and arrive at your location together after the reset. As the Earth turns the pulse of one clock should...

    Relativity and the Dark Energy question

    You are making the assumption that clocks record universal time. You should consider that your clock changing has nothing to do with real time any more than moving the dial on the clock moves you back and forth in time. I think you should soon get some different viewpoint.

    Infinite Regression: Inherent Inconsistency?

    This line of thought only applies in time. Regression by its very nature is regression in time, one before the other, a time function. Therefore any prime mover, God, can not be a being restricted by time and be considered in this line of thought. Any function in time must be the result of...
