No its not for a clamp or any other "realisable" device at this point in time, however a linear manually operated rail gun is the best way to describe its motion. One row of magnets is fixed. when the other row is pulled back and released the magnets quickly try to align themselves resulting...
Imagine two parallel lines of five magnets each, spaced a few millimeters apart. In the first line, all magnets have their north poles facing one direction. In the second line, each magnet's south pole faces the corresponding north pole of the first line, but the magnets are offset by one along...
Thanks.
As an aside the probability is usually displayed as a curved wave. Thus as it propagates the wave becomes wider and wider. This then implies given enough distance the photon may be realized light years apart.
Does this mean the photon could "decide to appear where it wants" or is it...
So when illustrating the double slit experiment the wave shown is not the photons energy but in fact its probability.
To my mind this would then imply that the probability wave did in fact collapse as it entered the slit, as the probability the photon was going to pass through the slit was...
This is the crux of my problem, Where I am struggling to understand the implications in what I see and what is said or implied.
Imagine a sea wall with a break in it. When a wave hits the sea wall a small portion of the wave will pass through the break and continue on forming what is a new wave...
Sorry if I misunderstood. When I read "single photon" I understood you as meaning individual photons, like would happen in the case of a torch, rather than a single photon per unit time.
The only thing I can think of given the illustrations used to show the double slit experiment is that where...
This explanation assumes a light source like a torch, with trillions of photons blasting out in all directions. However I am thinking of where individual photons are shot at the experiment.
This is just a curiosity to me. My interest is from the position of a layman (as you will see from my description below).
In the double slit experiment it shows a wave passing through both slits and interfering with itself to create an interference pattern.
This is how I understand it...

No need for a vacuum although if the inner shell contracted for some reason a vacuum could form or gases or liquids leak in from other levels.
All I am saying is that once a shell is self supporting it no longer adds to the internal pressure. Therefore an assumption of internal pressures and...
Yes. that problem makes the assumption I am talking about.
Lets assume that we are talking about heavenly bodies. Planets form over million and billions of years. if the formation is rapid the planet will not have enough time to cool, thus it will remain plastic and all the formulas will be...
Although I used a hollow object as in a cathedral or a cave. it was only to get across the idea of a self supporting structure.
My point is at some point the entire structure assuming it is not plastic will actually have layers of self supporting material which prevents or reduces the...
I was reading about states of planetary ice in the following article. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/06/150622182455.htm when it struck me that perhaps we should not assume that pressure increases as we descend into a large object.
Like a cathedral ceiling a large cave does not exert...
Morning Guys
I lay in bed last night and made a mental note of my idiocy. My first attempt to write a formula was incorrect I had missed an important step. I will try again when I get a chance today
Yes that's correct the vertex is positive and open up. this is a graph of the two equations...
