    Does Time Exist? Science Explains 4 Dimensions & Timelines

    Well I think that time is like other three dimensions in this regard. Simply that mass is moving through time so there is nothing in the past (or future).

    Would it be possible to detect change in charge?

    So if I understand it correctly unitary charge is either constant or we would detect changes in fine structure constant, thus we could assume that unitary charge is constant whaterver charge actually is?

    Would it be possible to detect change in charge?

    I was trying to think about charge and I am curious. It seems that there is unitary charge - +1 for protons and -1 for electrons. But is it possible to say that it is constant in time? I mean would it be possible to detect changes in unitary charge value? size? Let us say that all charges are...

    Find Area of Triangle (-1 2 -1 2), (-1 2 -1 1) & (2 -1 2 2)

    I am definitely no expert so I might be wrong, but I would say that the length would be \left|AB\right|=\sqrt{(a_{w}-b_{w})^{2}+(a_{x}-b_{x})^{2}+(a_{y}-b_{y})^{2}+(a_{z}-b_{z})^{2}}

    Find Area of Triangle (-1 2 -1 2), (-1 2 -1 1) & (2 -1 2 2)

    I would say, that you just need to find length of each side in 4D. From there it is just ordinary triangle.

    What function or operation am I looking for?

    Thank you. I never heard of floor function before. Now it is clear, that in general I was looking for floor/ceiling functions.

    What function or operation am I looking for?

    First, I am sorry for very unspecific topic, but I really have no clue what I am looking for. I need some way how in mathematical terms describe things like following: I have line segment of length l and I have sine function with period length \lambda originating at one end of line segment. If...

    Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    Ok. Thank you very much. You helped me to clear things anyway.

    Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    I think I am staring understand this. It does make sense. But if I am looking at planar wavefront frozen in time - all E field vectors would have same direction (magnitutde may vary) regardless if this is polarized light or not. I would be able to tell the difference only if I follow the...

    Constructing a Liquid Mirror using gallium,Indium, tin alloy

    Well I also know very little about liquid mirrors, but what I found about Galinstan it is really sticky and adhere to almost anything. To prevent it the surface has to be treated with gallium oxide (maybe there other treatments, but i do not know). About that scum - From what i have seen it...

    Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    So then the classical picture of electromagnetic radiation is just depiction of vector of electric/magnetic field along line going through wavefront, right? But one more question in case of wavefront (lets say its plane) are vectors of electric field equal at all points of the wavefront at...

    Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    I can understand light polarization if light wave is represented beam like as on that wiki page. But how this could go together with diffraction? I can understand diffraction if the light waves are like spheres or planes (as on the blue pictures on this page...

    Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    I know those nice pictures showing light polarization, but the light wave should be three dimensional, so no up and down just more and less, like expanding spheres with different desities, right? So it would be more like soud wave, but then the I should be able to detect oscilations but should...

    When we figure it all out, then what?

    I think that physics could get to this point of knowing "everything" and maybe math. Maybe. However in chemistry, biology and history (just to name few) it is not possible to get to this point, because unlike in physics you do not look for basic laws that govern the universe, but their actual...

    I've got my FTL boots on (another silly black hole question)

    I would say that your view would be no different from any point of the universe. I do not know why you should see something differet as far as i understand physics.
