And he did it at 26, just because of boredom during sequestration from the plague rampant in the cities. And to piss off Leibniz.
I find myself doing most calculus in physics on my graph lined notebook. Only use the computer to do tough graphs and watch Lenny do incredible physics whilst...
For those of you who knew of him and loved him, Christopher Hitchens returned to the universe one year ago today.
I did not personally know him but I was an avid follower of his writings and debates for many years. Amongst his friends however he numbered many great scientists, physicists...
This reminds me of the thought experiment involving a cargo plane carrying 2,000 pounds of pigeons in light cages. It's a big cargo plane with a large cabin.
Suddenly the pigeons escape from their cages and begin flying wildly about the cabin.
Question: With all the birds in flight inside the...
A very simple experiment should answer your question. Take a ping-pong ball or any small object and hang it by a thread a foot or so below the head liner of your car.
Now drive and you will see that when you accelerate or decelerate, the ball will swing aft or forward as is appropriate. It does...
Many thanks Zarqon, I'm sure that will help greatly.
Bye the way, are you involved in the Zarqon development team? Or, alternatively, are you the Zarqon development team? Interesting concept.

Ah, many thanks. That is my take on it exactly. I apologize in that my vexation was derived from the media and more specifically from the Sunday afternoon Uber Scientists who populate the cablesphere and provide at times an excellent public service by demystifying some difficult concepts and...
I am vexed. In your expert opinion can matter and the particles and wave forms of which it is composed be described within a digital model or an analog.
Is this a human perception limitation wherein the analytical left hemisphere types prefer a digital universe mostly because it can be...
As a very long time trombone player, I can say that I have never perceived any difference in heard volume from closed slide to fully extended using even airflow and at various harmonic levels. I think that you will find that the more excellent the quality of the instrument, the less difference...
Do you have some reliable data on field strength variance with mass of the magnet? Shape of the final ground magnet would probably have little effect other than affecting field propagation. How or how much I denna ken.
The above are the WAGs of yet another self-taught physicist.
Best of...
I agree, and at the risk of overreaching I also agree with her decision to end the relationship. If for no other reason other than, using her description, he sounds quite annoying. And, for reasons I cannot explain, I imagine that Ms. toph fan is quite physically attractive and by expanding her...
To xxChrisxx: While I am Atheist and Anti-theist in the Hitchens sort of way, I hope that I conduct all aspects of my life with proper humility and empathy. Hence my concern that the young lady is confronted with a narcissist. However, your perhaps quite insightful observatiion that she is the...
Sorry to get in so late in the discussion. I have read the entire thread and something came to mind early and stayed until the end. One word: Narcissist
I am not qualified to say more but I strongly suggest that you seek out a therapist trained in psychology and ask them whether your bf is...
Could someone comment on the particle constituents of the most recent "solar storm". A look at the films of the SOHO observatory show very marked particle trails on the photo-active medium shortly after a large explosion of 1429.
The print media made mention of two Earth observations, one of...
