Bandersnatch's latest activity

The solution for Schrodinger's equation gives rise to quantum numbers that determine the "space" available for electrons in each orbit...

Velocities are a distraction. That's just initial conditions. You want to focus on dynamics. The only force acting here is gravity...

A rod would try to orient itself radially, due to tidal forces, in the same way as tidally-deformed ellipsoids of planets and moons...

The direction determines whether you see a lengthened or shortened eclipse. The speed (times the more-or-less constant duration of an...

The point of the study is not to propose that birds can navigate via earth's magnetic field - that would be indeed trivial. Rather, the...

Animal navigation, long mysterious, may about to become better understood. An unexpected mechanism in homing pigeons appears to sense...

Tagline: Study shows geologists rarely affected by suicide, old age.

Geologist movie deaths, a compilation An article in AAAS Science magazine (summarizing a Geology Today article) show that about a third...

No no, the moral is that mathematics is divorced from reality and can lead you astray. Now, physics - physics would have figured it...

There's no reason to think that. Certainly none given in the opening post. If you've just found out about methane's role in global...

No negativity was intended. And if there's sarcasm, it's good natured. That's fair.

These are excellent analyses. I'm wondering about applications to astronomy.

I guestimated the population growth as if the cats procreated by mitosis, leaving the parents unable to contribute to the population...

If our star produced such a deep gravity well that time dilation were significant, then you'd see all velocities speed up, at all...
