-
There are as many ways to code a procedure as there are coders. The question is what are your priorities? I can't speak for your... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Thought Experiment: Behavior of shadow of object moving at speed c.This also applies to looking at the object itself. The OP might want to look up Penrose-Terell rotation.

PeterDonis reacted to Sagittarius A-Star's post in the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit? with
Like.
They try to avoid the use of thrusters and use control moment gyroscopes most of the time, to not disturbe micro-gravity experiments... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit?.The vorticity isn't a cause, it's a description. As I understand it, the rotation of the ISS wrt the gyroscope's axis is maintained by...
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Entanglement swapping in the context of Indivisible Stochastic Process.This is just a consequence of the fact that, in general in quantum experiments, you have to know the entire experimental context in...
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit?.Strictly speaking, I suppose this is true, but the proper acceleration will be extremely small, because the only reasons it would be...
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread For those who ask: "What programming language should I learn?".I did, yes.
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit?.Note, though, that an orbiting satellite is in free fall, so locally it is not the same as the accelerating elevator. So you can't...
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit?.Yes, it is, but note that all of these "precessions" are relative to an observer at rest at infinity. If all you have is local...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Can a Gyroscope in a Satellite Detect Orbit?.He means that it rotates 360 degrees relative to the gyroscope's axis, which is Fermi-Walker transported along the ISS's worldline.

PeterDonis replied to the thread For those who ask: "What programming language should I learn?".Actually, I realized there's another one as well: Pascal (thanks to Borland, from Turbo Pascal to Delphi).
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread For those who ask: "What programming language should I learn?".LOL. :smile: But yes, it's true, "easy to get started coding" can go either way. Wow, you've subjected yourself to even more than I...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Physical Interpretation of Frame Field.You're welcome!
-
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Physical Interpretation of Frame Field.Yes, all this is true and well known. Is there a question you have about this topic that hasn't been addressed yet?

PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Could there be a "Communication Theorem" instead of a "No-Communication Theorem" in quantum entanglement?.Since the OP question is based on a misconception, which has been corrected, this thread is closed.
