Herman Trivilino's latest activity

Stop reading that stuff and read a university-level introductory physics textbook. That's the best advice I can give you given that you...

When the ellipses (...) is used to continue a sequence, the author's intent is obvious because the terms in the sequence form a pattern...

That may be the idea that he is pursuing. But the argument he made does not use the premise that the velocities are uniformly...

I've nothing to add to the responses given in Posts #66 through #73.

Your comments seem to indicate that you have a newtonian view of time. That there is the equivalent of a giant clock in the sky keeping...

But isn't the author arguing that having a uniform distribution of velocities is sufficient to make a uniform distribution of directions?

You asked for "idea of proof", and that's the idea: To show that the direction of the velocity is uniformly distributed. @jbriggs444...

It's the first sentence in the passage you quoted: "The main assumption here is that the direction of the velocity is distributed...

Which book? Are you still reading that advanced book? Your explanation isn't correct. What they're saying is that the square of the...

Maybe, but it never made that clear, in my opinion. When I spoke of his writings what I should have included is the written accounts of...

I think that's a fair assumption. Bohr was famous for coraling new physicists at his institute into joining him in his office to help...

Indeed… Draw a spacetime diagram.

That's an explanation often seen, but it can be misleading. To begin to understand this you must realize that to reach that conclusion...

A definitive answer was given in the first reply. Adding an explanation is what makes it a discussion. Is it necessary for you to...

Ahhh... At that point in my education I wouldn't have been able to understand that book, either. I suggest you start with a...
