Dale replied to the thread High School Electric Fields inside Conductors & Gauss' Law.It is not generally true that the E field in a conductor is 0. It is only true in the electrostatic limit where the current density is zero. -
Dale reacted to BillTre's post in the thread There are people in biology who really do math with
Like.
There has been an influx of math and physics people into a number of biological sub-fields. Areas like genetics (like Watson and Crick... -
Dale reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket? with
Like.
I guess I took the diagram too literally then. In this case I agree with @Dale that the mechanism proposed by @jbriggs444 is quite... -

I'm really glad you posted this and shared the quote from @jbriggs444. I did read his post, but maybe, since I was reading a lot of... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?.This sounds like the most likely hypothesis. It could be tested by comparing a bag with trapped air and a bag with all air removed. It... -

Here is some of a special issue of Genetics of articles using math: Many of the articles are open access. They can be seen here... -
Dale replied to the thread There are people in biology who really do math.Investigating the history of math or the philosophy of math is not exactly the same as using math. A more convincing reference would... -

The idea is that with water on all sides, the clay is effectively sealed. Any air in the lump of clay cannot escape without forming a... -

I'm not sure what the best tools are to treat the relativity of simultaneity. I find space-time diagrams (Minkowskii diagrams)... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?.If you have a sous vide you could test temperature dependence. Room temperature and residential water temperature can fluctuate. I don’t... -

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?.Could it be a temperature difference? 18” of water is about 0.05 atmospheres, so it is some pressure but not a lot. -

You seem to be stuck on the idea that "time slows down". One can ask "Slows down relative to what? To me, your words suggest you...
