Static Earth and Time


Quote by Nugatory View Post
If you're looking for a "nothing that moves anywhere" clock.... Start with equal-sized samples of two different radioactive materials with different half-lives. The ratio of their amounts will change in a predictable way as time passes.
There would be allways something that moves otherwise you could not observe.

I want to post this question in My PF but can not find the option.
"My PF" is your control panel for you, not a forum. The forum index is [url=http://physicsforums.com/index.php]here[/url, you can use it to navigate to the appropriate forum and start a new thread there.

[quote1) Square V= 3 RT/2M, can you please tell em if i am using the right formula and how this can be derived?[/QUOTE]
Those gas laws have average values only, you need the peak of the velocity distribution (Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution).
