Physics & Poetry: Is Dirac Right?
i can't say too much about poetry, but science and music are very much related. (Especially because it makes it easier to understand music as frequencies) http://pocketband.net/person/GODS+ASUNDER this is my personal work. Although this brings up the question- would people in dirac's days...- DivergentSpectrum

Undergrad How to Draw a Circle Perpendicular to a Vector in 3D Space?
the wolfram site says: but actually they made a mistake. here phi is the azimuth and theta is the zenith. someone should probably tell them :rolleyes:- DivergentSpectrum

High School Type of thinking that is conducive to learning mathematics
Ive found the wonders of computer programming to be very helpful with understanding math concepts. ie: program an algorithm for numerical integration, diff eq solver, vector field visualizer etc. To me it really takes you past the esoteric symbols and let's you get a good idea of the numbers...- DivergentSpectrum

Undergrad How to Draw a Circle Perpendicular to a Vector in 3D Space?
double theta = Math.Atan2(curly[i, j, k], curlx[i, j, k]); double phi = Math.Acos(curlz[i, j, k] / Math.Sqrt(curlx[i, j, k] * curlx[i, j, k] + curly[i, j, k] * curly[i, j, k] + curlz[i, j, k] * curlz[i, j, k])); double costheta = Math.Cos(theta); double...- DivergentSpectrum

Have You Experienced the Power of Lucid Dreams and Quantum Entanglement?
http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2009/08/26/why_we_sleep_is_a_mystery/ i think if i had gotten into biology instead of physics this is what id be studying. its really pretty interesting.- DivergentSpectrum

Undergrad How to Draw a Circle Perpendicular to a Vector in 3D Space?
if a plane normal to a vector xn,yn,zn is given by then i think i could replace the parametric sphere coordinates with the coordinates to the plane and solve what i want out of this is the relation between u and v, but i can't figure out how to solve it then once i have u and v in terms of a...- DivergentSpectrum

Have You Experienced the Power of Lucid Dreams and Quantum Entanglement?
well when i "left my body", i saw things laying around that were out of order/different in some way like a coke can was missing from my dresser etc. Usually when it happens to me its accompanied by sleep paralysis or a feeling of vibration in my spine or heart palpitations which seem to be a...- DivergentSpectrum

Undergrad How to Draw a Circle Perpendicular to a Vector in 3D Space?
i have a 3d vector, and i want to draw a circle with a specified radius around the vector (for computer programming) so i have the location of the center of the circle(first point of the vector) but i also want the circle to be at a right angle to the vector my approach: the equation of a...- DivergentSpectrum

Have You Experienced the Power of Lucid Dreams and Quantum Entanglement?
Its probably not an unexplainable/spiritual phenomena. i tried astral projection in my lucid dreams a couple times (whenever i managed to think to do so lol), and i was wrong in what i saw. Still, its pretty fun XD. Ive noticed the best way to get it to happen is to take a nap after waking up in...- DivergentSpectrum

High School We dont know how a bicycle works Really?
well, I am not sure how they did it, but in the article they mentioned a device that cancels out the gyroscopic effect, and the bike remained stable. So I am guessing there must be some kinda other force at work. In my experience riderless bikes don't go very far, but apparently there must be...- DivergentSpectrum

wow it looked like it was going to be a good one too. north korea is such a nerd. Its like they desperately want us to respect them but we never will because they take themselves too seriously. I looked it up on youtube, it looks like theyre offering the movie for $5.99. I bet it will be pretty...- DivergentSpectrum
