Cool thanks for the info - most useful. Pete

Hi I see what you are saying now. That makes sense to me, but I am puzzled by one consequence of your argument. If objects increase in mass as they move away from each other, and the universe is expanding constantly, then this would indicate that there is a net increase in total mass in the...

Hi Tim Are you saying that the total energy of the cylinder has stayed the same or increased (A decrease in spin but an increase in mass). pete

If the question is where has the stored angular energy of the spinning cylinder gone, and we know that energy is transferred over time to gravity, then surely this accounts for some of the energy "loss" (for want of a better word) regardless of what direction this energy or momentum is...

Too complex Hi there, I may be wrong on this but the original question is quite simple. I believe that the solution should be simple too. The original question is as follows: An external observer that does not accelerate see the the spinning cylinder's rate of rotation slow down. If the...

answered Thank you for the reply. This answers my question perfectly

So to confirm: The clocks that the observers have on the train are in sync even when the train stops, but anyone who was not on the train, their clocks will yeild different results? So this means that as far as the referee is concerned there is nothing to worry about as any observers that were...

Hi there I have a question that has possibly been covered before, however, I cannot find the answer that I seek in any of the threads much less understand the odd mathamatical symbols and explanations that go with most of them. I have no physics backgroud so most of the posts are filled...
