jbriggs444 replied to the thread Working for defense company?.This aligns with my experience as well. The principle useful skill I obtained in college was in learning how to learn. Secondarily, I... -
jbriggs444 reacted to Ibix's post in the thread A Is the constancy of c a postulate or a derivable theorem? with
Like.
You can add an undetectable preferred foliation - it's called Lorentz ether theory. It's just SR with the claim that one frame is... -
jbriggs444 reacted to jedishrfu's post in the thread When should a beginner programmer learn vims/emacs? with Like.
Your posts here are like those from the movie Little Buddha, where Jessie, a young boy and the possible reincarnation of a Tibetan...

jbriggs444 reacted to haruspex's post in the thread Will Y-Direction Motion Cease with X-Direction Acceleration Only? with Like.
Whether a feature can be neglected depends on the purpose of the analysis. If you want to know the direction in the limit then the y...

jbriggs444 reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Like.
But the book is written in Russian, so it seems it hasn't been translated correctly? Likely the translation algorithm is for everyday...

jbriggs444 replied to the thread B Does Time Pass at Different Rates on Other Planets?.We might imagine achieving this by counter-balancing local gravity with an implausibly massive awning suspended overhead. The...

jbriggs444 replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.It may be a language issue, but "equiprobable" is not the correct term to use. If ##V_x## is a random variable then we could speak of...

jbriggs444 reacted to Filip Larsen's post in the thread B Does Time Pass at Different Rates on Other Planets? with
Agree.
And speed too. E.g. the clock rate on the Earth surface is equal to the clock rate when in circular orbit at around an altitude of half... -
jbriggs444 replied to the thread B Does Time Pass at Different Rates on Other Planets?.It is not gravitational field strength (local gravity) that matters. What matters is gravitational potential. Or, almost equivalently...

jbriggs444 replied to the thread Will Y-Direction Motion Cease with X-Direction Acceleration Only?.If one takes the limits ##\lim_{t \to \infty} x(t) = \infty## ##\lim_{t \to \infty} y(t) = 1## ##\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{x(t)}{y(t)}...

jbriggs444 reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Like.
Yes. Along with a background that doesn't include completion of the university-level introductory physics course. Over 100 posts in...

jbriggs444 replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.I see no contradiction. I see consistency. The probability that ##10^{23}## independent samples drawn from a normal distribution with...
