    Undergrad Why is the Earth getting closer to the sun and the moon getting farther away?

    Let me establish something first. Over the next billions of years, the Earth will come closer to the Sun. And why is that? Is it because of a deviation in the Earth's orbit or because the Sun is gradually becoming larger (Hydrogen converted into Helium), hence engulfing the earth?

    Undergrad Why is the Earth getting closer to the sun and the moon getting farther away?

    We know that the Earth's orbit is gradually becoming closer to the sun, inevitably reaching a stage where it will collide with our star. Why shouldn't the moon behave in the same manner? Why is the moon actually moving away from the pull of the Earth every year? I have come to think that it...

    Graduate Hubble ultra deep field - beyond the big bang

    What makes you think there is another "side of the point at which the big bang occurred"? The singularity at which the big bang derived from is still not understood today, let alone having another side. The problem is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Hence why should the...

    Graduate Can there be anything outside of our Existance?

    I don't understand the relevance of your example, especially because nothing travels faster than the speed of light.

    Has the UK Education System Destroyed Physics?

    I just hope Edexcel (another English board in the UK) doesn't commit the same error in reducing Physics to politics. Furthermore, students who graduate from GCSE Physics (strictly under AQA) will definitely encounter difficulties at an A-level Physics course, considering AQA hasn't downgraded...

    Collaborative Efforts to Enhance Physics Articles on Wikipedia

    They can't physically improve the like of Physics and Maths related articles. They obviously need someone that is deemed competent enough to break down the material into a much more readable and learning content. Are they personally going to hire a Physics/Maths teacher to do that? Who's...

    Italy vs France: Who Will Score First?

    It's a very tough call. France has a magnificent defence barrier for Italy to try and break it down. It should be a very entertaining match. It's personally wrong to guess who's going to win. Both teams have very good chances.

    Portugal vs France: Who Will Reach the FIFA World Cup Final?

    It's a pity Portugal didn't produce as much as they should've had. My strong belief of a better strategic formation of 4-4-2 was quite simply vindicated towards the end. I never liked Portugal's 4-5-1 playing system since Euro 2004 as it forced many of our midfield players to shoot far too many...
