Would it be possible to design an accelerator that minimizes or eliminates the synchrotron radiation by using the same principle that an atom uses to maintain an electron in a stable energy shell around its nucleus without it spiraling in towards the nucleus by creating a stable standing wave...

Another thing, does cyclotron or synchrotron (or whatever it is) radiation limit the energy that a particle can be accelerated to? Or does it just require increasing levels of energy to keep accelerating the particle? Is there a point at which the particle loses more energy from radiation than...

A proton is about 1000 times the mass of an electron, but the energy involved, even TeV, is still small, one ten millionth of a joule. So is the great power required because so many particles have to be accelerated together? So why can't you just accelerate a small number of particles to...

This one may sound a little naive, but I hope it is not thought inappropriate for this forum. The amount of energy required in an accelerator to speed an electron up to a sizable fraction of the speed of light is in the MeV range and bigger, more modern accelerators may even go up to the TeV...

Those are all very good suggestions, but they are all graphics libraries. To use these in the first place I need a compiler. Is there somewhere can I get a good compiler that won't run hundreds of dollars? Are there free compilers that I can download from the internet?

Interesting. How can there be so many [SIZE="3"]free items like - OpenCV, express MS Visual Studio, MinGW, Eclipse, CImg Library, C (gcc) and OpenGL - available? Are they of good quality? I won't be compromising my system's security by using these, will I? How do I get a hold of these? What...

Thanks everyone for the advice. That's helpful. Now where can I go to get a good C or C++ compiler? One more question. Just curious, but I'm just wondering how those visualization that come with something like "Real Player" work? What language were they written in? How is a fast moving...

Hello. I want to find a computer language for doing real-time interactive graphics. I want to be able to operate on each point of an image in real-time. For example I thought it would be interesting to be able to write a program that will perform a Fourier Transform on an image, do some...

Hello, Thank you all for responding to my initial post. It’s good to see that it started such a discussion. In his post http://https://www.physicsforums.com/member.php?u=20128" says that gravity and EM are fundamentally different kinds of forces where EM is linear, but gravity is...

Hello. I’m new to this forum and I’m unsure of the best way to start out. Can I just jump in and begin a new thread? I was just wondering about something and am interested to see if anyone might think this is at least worth note and have something to say. Just how many different theories...
