Guys I was just wondering if normal force is a contact force. Obviously it is considered a contact force but it also has something to do with the repelling of atoms. In my mind, normal force is a fundamental truth, but technically, are two objects touching or is there a minuscule space between...
As said by the following website, an earthquake of magnitude 10 would need a fault extending around most of the planet:

Please give appropriate references. "A thing I heard" is very vague.
I heard about this experiment called Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector(LSND). Apparently, the experiment made no sense in relation to other neutrino experiments such as Super-K in terms of oscillation. Basically the...
I was looking into neutrinos and found that a man named Ettore Majorana proposed neutrinos and antineutrinos are the same thing. If this could be true, antineutrinos emitted during double beta decay could annihilate one another and vanish. However, this would violate lepton number conservation...
I understand how jounce is the fourth derivative of position vector, but I don't understand is how it is actually used in physics. I know it differentiates jerk, but what does this help physicists to understand? The following is an equation that explains jounce:
So how exactly is this...
W and Z bosons, gluons, and photons are all gauge bosons that have been found. Since the graviton can be connnected to atoms and mass in certain ways, I think that CERN may eventually prove the graviton(if real) through smashing atoms that, supposedly, have a graviton orbiting them. Could...
Hi guys,
I love physics more than anything and know that there are some qualified people here that will help me to extend my understanding. I can't wait to learn a lot.
