Adding the mention of knots adds to the discussion. This is essentially the same thing as discussing the grain. As you say, some wood types have larger knots, some smaller and some wood (much more expensive have cuts without the knots. Lumberyard employees and owner are well-aware of the...

With regard to the wood, I suspect it is a molecular answer as well as a philosophical answer: First, a third element is added, the bonding agent (screws, glue, etc.) which is a variable to be measured. Secondly, molecules have structures and no two grains in 2X4's are alike. There resistant...

This is a rather complex question. Contained within the question itself are a number of assumptions. Controlling all the variables to obtain the answer would be an interesting project, as the experiment unfolded. Just the words, "gravitational waves," have presumptions. By the way, are...

Thank you. My cars don't travel at the speed of light. With regard to particle spin and straight motion, sometimes the answer is closer than one thinks. Light in fact does move with particle spin; particle spiral and in a vector. Just what a vector is theoretically and whether vectors are...

My main question doesn't concern the, "...moving a Black Hole off its Vector." Rather it concerns the direction of the swirl in which energy/matter are, "...sucked in towards the event horizon and continue in that direction after having been, "pulled in," by the gravitational force (not...

This initial introduction is placed as suggested by the site moderators when I received my first email. I am a 74.5 year old male with grade school, Junior High School, High School, Junior College, College and Graduate school completions. I have a social science Masters Degree in Correctional...

I have a couple of simple questions: Do black holes always exert their gravity in a swirl that corresponds, in observance from our vantage point, left to right? Are there right to left. On Earth apparently above the equator (currently) water goes down the drain counter-clockwise. But then I've...
