    Geometry Great Trigonometry and geometry books?

    It's all in the proofs. The proofs drove me crazy- and what they meant.

    Creating the student-centered lab

    Excellent idea. Failure is just as important as success!

    Other Want to know how experiments were performed through history

    Every generation of scientists invent different symbols to describe the same sets of previous circumstances -that which is exclusive and most meaningful to the present educated generation. Every structured occupation does this.

    Other Want to know how experiments were performed through history

    We still live in the times where recipes rule.

    Other Want to know how experiments were performed through history

    There are secrets; otherwise, everybody would be out of a career.

    Sounds like a great title for an unwritten book.

    Clock synchronization and relativity of simultaneity

    Ultimately, I always give weight to the idea. For instance, how is knowing that the speed of light is c helping man leverage nature?

    Clock synchronization and relativity of simultaneity

    Einstein's ideas are 100 plus years old. It is no wonder that scientists tend to look for the future of science if one assumes that science is a progression.

    What makes PF the perfect community for physics enthusiasts?

    I view myself as an enthusiastic physics hobbyist. I feel privileged to be surrounded by like minded individuals whose interests in science cannot be easily found.

    Clock synchronization and relativity of simultaneity

    Yes, the two-way, one-clock, single location measure is convention. One-way anisotropic measure would require the unified coordination between the sender and receiver.
