Thanks, that makes total sense.

What would happen if you had a very rigid and strong, but also brittle rod and you would suddenly pull it very hard? Would it break?

It's the same, but I made a calculation error. I did \sqrt{25+4}-3 instead of \sqrt{25+4}-2 I prefer my version though, since it's in the form of c times a time. In my formula it's also much more obvious that d increases with increasing a'.

x\left(t=0\right)=c^2/a' So I should define a new axis x'' then? x''=x-c^2/a'=c\sqrt{c^2/a'^2+t^2}-c^2/a'=c\left(\sqrt{c^2/a'^2+t^2}-c/a'\right) If a' goes to infinity: x''=ct If a' goes to zero: x''=c\left(\sqrt{c^2/a'^2}-c/a'\right)=0 Let's say a'=0.5c/yr, t=5 yr...

The path described by a constantly accelerating particle is given by: x=c\sqrt{c^2/a'^2+t^2} where a prime denotes an observer traveling with the particle and a letter without a prime a resting observer. If we leave the c^2/a'^2 out it reduces to x=ct, which makes sense. The distance...

The higher bandwidth and smaller antenna make sense and is something I already should've known. Of course higher frequencies are damped more easily. I was thinking that orange light essentially is Wi-Fi at a 200k times larger frequency.

What is the advantage of high frequency radio waves over low frequency radio waves? E.g. Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz over FM radio ~100 MHz.

That link was not really helpful. It details how you should write entries in a list of references for which I use Bibtex and it explains how you should use parenthetical references (which I don't, I use [#ID], which is regularly seen in the natural sciences). It doesn't explain where citations...

What is the standard format?

I'm not sure where to put this question, so I'll try it here. I'm currently writing a report and I'm asking for advice on citations. I know that when you write down a fact or an idea which is not original, you add a citation which explains where you got it from (e.g. bananas are yellow [1])...

Thank you very much. When I have time I'll will try to read up on handles. My plots now look exactly the way I want them to look.

I'm trying to make a MATLAB plot with two types of data, i.e. temperature and air flow rate. Since the temperature and air flow rate are on different scales I wanted two y-scales and since there are quite some data sets, I wanted to make the two air flow rates bold. I tried this, but it doesn't...

No, I was being sincere. I've already seen the styles come by and now I know what to do to solve my problem. Thanks.

Thanks, that's very useful :)

I'm unsure about the appropriate location for this thread, so please move this topic, if necessary. I'm trying to add conference proceedings to my BibTex database, but I can't manage to get it working. If I use @CONFERENCE or @INPROCEEDINGS, the title of the paper will not be italicized...
