i was sitting here wondering about something, and I'm not sure, so ill ask.
suppose you take 2 point masses, say 1 kg each, 1 meter apart, and release them. Would they ever reach the speed of light? As they got very close, the F _{g} would near infinity ( \lim _{distance \rightarrow 0} F_{g} =...

I have been trying to understand volts for the last year. Reading through multitudes of definitions (including one thread for about 45 minutes just now) did not do for me what your description did in about 45 seconds.
one question: do the electrons actually travel faster? or is it just...
how is m always odd?
(p-1)(p^n+1)=4m(m+1)
if p is odd, then p - 1 is even. since p^n is always odd (i checked it using a C++ program :) ), then the expression p^n - 1 is even. even times even is even. so, in order for the whole thing to be equal, the right side must be even. if you put m...
ok i know it would work if you tried it on a calculator, but if you had no calculator, and no idea what pi was, how would you solve Ksin(pi/K)<pi<Ktan(pi/K)? would you just guess and check?
And if i use degrees in those equations ( ksin(180°/K)<pi<Ktan(180°/K) ), can i consider that a true...
I'm not totally sure (and correct me if I'm wrong), but i think that as the matter tightens, the tangential speed of the material (in other words the "outer speed") stays the same. However, since the radius decreases, the angular speed increases. That is why it look like they are going faster...
2 questions
two questions:
1) how do you simplify "Ksin(pi/K)<pi<Ktan(pi/K)"?
2) is it cheating to convert to degrees? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radians" , after all, are based on the length of the arc disected, which is based on pi, so its kind of circular. But is it an actual derivation...
i think found a formula to calculate pic (almost). Problem is, it has pi in it. If you are working in radians, it is Ntan(π/N), where N is the number of sides of a polygon that is close to a circle. as n approaches infinity, the function approaches π. Is it cheating if i simply change it to...
is it really possible to harness all the energy from one planet without converting all the mass into energy?
assuming you are using only that planet, not a whole galaxy to achieve K1 status...
is taxonomy an intrinsic property of life, or a human way to look at it?
I think, especially with asexual species, that it is really a human invention, not an actual property of life. However, certain things fit well. what do you think?
