That's a good question, but I don't see a difference between this and many experiments that have already been done. Accelerating...

There are a lot of reasons to doubt that FRBs are deliberately engineered and fabricated. But their application for radar is especially...

1.41 is an approximation for ##\sqrt 2##

Right, no real root. What roots are you getting? Are you sure they aren't correct? Sorry, I see your answers in post #1...

That is correct. There are only n values (k=0,1,...,n-1). Your assumption that there is always a real root is wrong. If there is a real...

Wow! That sounds like a mind boggling task! My hat's off to you!

In reading Codd's original work, wiki articles, and quite a few more recent articles, I see very good technical descriptions of what a...

Thank you, @Ibix. That is an incredibly helpful and concise answer. Giving me the precise term "Lorentz Ether Theory" is exactly what I...

You can add an undetectable preferred foliation - it's called Lorentz ether theory. It's just SR with the claim that one frame is...

I am not familiar with that book. There might be a more modern one now. I wouldn't expect exact questions from any text, but I haven't...

@.Scott , That's a very good point. One treacherous thing about data bases is that the need for normalization may not be obvious until a...

Regardless of what language you use to implement your data structures, I suggest you brief yourself on database normalization. The one...

In general, you should separate the goals of clear understanding of physics versus knowing the history. There were many confused people...

IMO, there is no official definition of where "pseudocode" ends and good comments begin. Books and academic discussions about algorithms...

One reason we remember the keyboard shortcuts is that they are quick, easy, and you don't have to keep moving a hand from the keyboard...
