This is your claim, but so far your quotes are not convinicing. I am not sure about this either. Just before this it says "Heisenberg...

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...

This also applies to looking at the object itself. The OP might want to look up Penrose-Terell rotation.

They try to avoid the use of thrusters and use control moment gyroscopes most of the time, to not disturbe micro-gravity experiments...

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...

This is just a consequence of the fact that, in general in quantum experiments, you have to know the entire experimental context in...

Strictly speaking, I suppose this is true, but the proper acceleration will be extremely small, because the only reasons it would be...

I did, yes.

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...

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...

He means that it rotates 360 degrees relative to the gyroscope's axis, which is Fermi-Walker transported along the ISS's worldline.

Actually, I realized there's another one as well: Pascal (thanks to Borland, from Turbo Pascal to Delphi).

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...

You're welcome!

Yes, all this is true and well known. Is there a question you have about this topic that hasn't been addressed yet?
