High School What Are The Basic Physics Principal For GPS, TV and Radio?
Wow! Cragar...most excellent point. In terms of this assignment, to bring that up, and it's relevance, truly makes the point that physics, the sciences, are not just book study classroom ideas. This is real, and it's all around us right now. AND, it's the A-maker idea. Nice.- Modern Viking

High School What Are The Basic Physics Principal For GPS, TV and Radio?
As I read your question, and think of the assignment, I'm looking at what's common. Meaning, they all deal with electromagnetic radiation. The differences are in the frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio, Tv, or GPS, they function and provide benefits to us based on carrying...- Modern Viking

Graduate Mass moving through Space/Time = Gravity?
Hello, I've wondered about this idea before, and thought I would put this together and get some opinions. When it comes to electricity and magnetism, electricity can generate magnetism, and a moving magnet can generate an electric current. When it comes to mass, gravity, and space/time...- Modern Viking

Undergrad Big Bang: Has Universe Always Been Expanding?
This is all a bit jumbled to properly understand. ' In the same way a 2 dimensional being cannot fully grasp a third dimension world, we are trying to grasp higher dimensions in our space. Here's a concept that helps me to understand this better. Imagine a bow and arrow, laying flat on the...- Modern Viking

Undergrad Big Bang: Has Universe Always Been Expanding?
Hi. This is my first post here. I'm not a physics guy, I just like to read about it. I was wondering about the idea that binbots has raised. The observations of the galaxies appear to show that we're all racing away from each other, and accelerating. I imagine the big bang expanding the way a...- Modern Viking
