PeroK's latest activity

This was thought to be the case when Feynman's book was published, but it turns out it's not. See below. If you're referring to the...

The thread is supposed to be on the high school level, so I will give an answer on that level. Absorption of a graviton is described by...

The human eye adapts well to darkness, although it doesn't see colour well at low light intensity. The earth was lit by full moonlight...

I don't see any problem with that. The second particle is a measuring "apparatus", which measures a property of the first particle. All...

As Einstein said, it is theory which determines what is measurable. According to the Newtonian theory of gravity, the gravitational...

It's a spectacular image, but it's essentially fake. It's not what the crew saw. This raises the question of what is allowable as...

To be clear, we don't actually have evidence of an event horizon. We only have evidence of apparent horizons--very heuristically...

I would say that a black hole is about 4D geometry. There is no global "time" axis. In many ways, you need to free your mind of the...

Plenty of grist for the conspiracy mill!

The energy of the single isolated particle approaching c can also be made finite, by making its rest mass tend to zero. Which is exactly...

I agree. Knowledge of this type always has some value. That said, Taylor is a comprehensive and somewhat advanced book. It's a big...

What kind of response is this. There might be tons of reasons why i want to study it. For example i can just say i really like physics...

This is a twist on what @Dale said, a fallacy that the box is a constraint or limitation and that therefore ignoring the box increases...

Following this principle, you could apply the Navier-Stokes equations and replace the molecular physics of water with continuous fluid...

Thanks. Next task is definitely to figure out how to use LaTeX.
