    Evidence that black holes gain in mass?

    Yes, that is very obvious. But does it remain constant, or grow as it takes in more matter? Observable evidence, not theoretical claims based on the laws of conservation of matter/energy.

    Evidence that black holes gain in mass?

    Rollcast, part of the point of this post is to question this axiom. This is an accepted law, yet what mathematical, observable, undeniable proof have you of this? It has never been observed, only it being converted into energy, and thus is assumed to be true. Yet whatever occurs anywhere inside...

    Evidence that black holes gain in mass?

    Also, if mass is destroyed, would this not mean that there is a super-concentrated supply of Higgs-Boson particles stored in the core of a black hole?

    Evidence that black holes gain in mass?

    Please correct me if I am wrong, as I have little more than a high school knowledge of physics until I start at university this year - virtually no knowledge of the quantum side of things just yet. ^^ My thought is, as spaghetification occurs as you approach the centre (not using singularity...

    Optimising interplanetary travel times (for a game)

    Calculating the optimum angle (resulting in the minimum time) for a linear-pathed spacecraft (unaffected by gravities) to leave a planet performing uniform circular motion to reach another planet undergoing uniform circular motion. I am really struggling to work my head around this problem...

    Classically predicted ionisation energy of H

    Thanks for the criticism guys (no sarcasm). I am aware that the model is incorrect. I don't know quantum physics, and I was more just curious as to what the results would fetch. As it was, it was a very interesting result, and you guys have helped me learn through it as well. I have only...

    Classically predicted ionisation energy of H

    As far as I can see, Nasu, that is his only slip up. The following sentence DOES refer to binging energy, and make perfect sense...

    Classically predicted ionisation energy of H

    Ahhh! How silly of me. I'm aware classical physics couldn't explain it, I was merely curious as to the difference predicted in this way. Are my calculations incorrect then?

    Classically predicted ionisation energy of H

    Found my mistake with the experimental value - Ie = 1.312x106J.mol-1, not Ie = 1.312x107J.mol-1. Ie = 13.6eVe-1

    Classically predicted ionisation energy of H

    So, as a matter of interest, I tried predicting the ionisation energy of a Hydrogen atom according to classical electrostatics. I started from the point of escape velocity, with Ve=√(2kq1/r) The following bit I think is wrong, but fetches an interesting result. As E=1/2mv2, the analogous...

    General function that represents a series of 1 and 0

    Just suggestion, and I have only completed high-level maths at a high-school standard so far, so I apologize if I get this messed up, but... Pehaps a sine function of another sine function with a different, complicated period formed by a polynomial? This could be adjusted so that on the...

    Ionisation by a magnetic field?

    Took a look. Nothing seems to contradict the logic I found. Positive and negative particles are pulled in circles in opposing directions. In the case of an atom, It would simply be a fight between the pull of the field and and the binding energy of the electrons... wouldn't it?

    Ionisation by a magnetic field?

    I was fair sure I did, but it has been a while since I dealt with them, and your question seems to imply I don't. I'll google them to refresh my memory.

    Ratio of logarithms in various bases to other bases

    Thanks BobG, I'm aware of the use of the ratio, I was just wondering what the formula for the ratio was. As for my error... I blame fatigue. It was late and my head was addled. I messed up my log laws.

    Converting Acceleration to Displacement: Is There a Simple Algorithm?

    If you change the accelleration into a 3 equation parametric form (x, y, z), and integrate it twice, you should end up with the total displacement of the wrist in each of the three dimensions. From here, it becomes a distance formula problem. I.e., Displacement = sqrt(deltax^2 + deltay^2 +...
