-
PeroK replied to the thread B Newton's first law?.I agree. They are subtly different, I would say. -
How are they "very different", if the difference has zero impact on the quantitative predictions?

PeroK replied to the thread A Crisis for Newly Minted CompSci Majors -- entry level jobs gone.That's the sort of thing that happens on IT projects!
-
PeroK replied to the thread B Newton's first law?.See post #2 where I said: It doesn't matter whether you start with "Young and Randall" or start with "Serway". You end up with the...

PeroK reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Conventionality of the One-Way Speed of Light with
Like.
It's not necessarily the one-way speed, but it is necessarily the two-way speed of light. What your maths tells you, in short, is that... -
PeroK replied to the thread B Newton's first law?.The motion of the planets relies on the gravitational force to keep them in an elliptical orbit. The point that Newton is making is that...

PeroK reacted to wrobel's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with Like.
The 3 body problem was the first example on which people became aware of what dynamical chaos is. The effect of separatrices...

PeroK reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with Like.
Oh, it's definitely solvable, and we know how to solve it. So your conclusion is correct, but I don't see how it follows from your...

PeroK reacted to James Demers's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with Like.
This is a bit of an over-simplification, but essentially you have 18 variables: 3 bodies x (3 velocity vectors + 3 coordinates)...

PeroK reacted to Dale's post in the thread I Conventionality of the One-Way Speed of Light with Like.
The conventionality of the one way speed of light (OWSOL) was recognized from the very beginning. In the seminal paper On the...

PeroK reacted to Muu9's post in the thread Need a book on Modern Physics to supplement Griffiths QM with Like.
I was hoping you would go through the effort of doing that for us. Something something burden of proof...

PeroK reacted to MidgetDwarf's post in the thread Need a book on Modern Physics to supplement Griffiths QM with
Skeptical.
Maybe have a look at Townsend and McTyre book? Then look at Griffiths? The difference is night and day. -
PeroK reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Does action at a distance violate any conservation principles? with Like.
But on the other hand, the quantum potential in Bohmian mechanics is neither time-translation nor space-translation invariant, so one...

For things moving free or at rest, Observe what the first law does best. It defines a key frame, Inertial by name, Where the second law...

PeroK replied to the thread B Newton's first law?.In the 1905 paper, Einstein says "Let us take a system of co-ordinates in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good." This...
