Theres the error, the mistaken conclusion, that is giving you all these problems with understanding this particular relativistic effect..
In fact it does not matter at all, in which direction (vector) the acceleration is. It is the differential in accelerations (inertial shift), that is...
Hi Dooga,
To answer your question; yes there are high paying jobs that can be had that are considered to be on the "conventional track" for an English major:
a) journalism as mentioned, although an easier route would be the journalism major
b) technical writing can pay very well once...
Actually, the Quantum Immortality theory is one of the more attractive theory sets of MW, to me. Like you, I often wonder that if MW is valid, are there many world lines where I am dead because I didnt survive my accidents or close calls were actually accidents? I've actually had that thought in...
But you DO know the speed. I just misread the question. The answer was correct. The momentum equation works fine. Zero momentum before you turn on the hose and 15 kg-m/s2 afterwards. Got it.
I think you'd also need to know H20 pressure, or at least, I guess, differential pressure, because if you think about the idea of a culvert through which a river runs, there is no force because the water just flows through the bottom part. So if you had a hose and you could get flow rate of...
My primary problem with MW theory, not just with the theory, but in the conjecture that someday there will be an empirical test, is that they incorrectly assume the validity of Copenhagen in order to prove MW.
"If we build reversible nanoelectronics (a pipe dream), then if the measurements...
Yah, its got many contradictions that you would encounter in classic thermodynamics. Personally I think the idea probably began as an intellectual exercise regarding quantum indeterminancy in string theory and somehow got extrapolated to a macroscopic level.
However it came about, its...
Occam is a GREAT argument against many worlds. Its a complexity test. Why should 20-something dimensions be more effective than say, 3?
Why would the universe be better served by creating a separate physical instance of itself for every fork in the possible chain of events? To me, many worlds...
Glass is a poor insulator generally without coatings or glazings. The R value of a single pane of glass is about 1. But a car is somewhat of a poor example of this because most of the energy aborbed by a car is transmitted via conduction and convection to the interior.
That WAS the explanation. Maybe I can make it a little more clear. Specifically, why refraction results in a change in wave speed, which I explained, is due to a density differential. When passing thru glass for example which goes from a less dense to more dense material, or vice versa. The...
The propagation of light through any medium is dependent on the properties of the medium, in this case, glass, where refraction is caused by a relative change in density. Since refraction always results in a change in wave speed, hence there is an accompanying change in wavelength.
Refraction and absorption are two separate light transformations-
absorption is a chemical effect, ie, interaction with dyes or pigments
refraction is purely a physical effect - dependent on the differential of densities in the glass or other media
The two are not causally related.
can anyone explain the device that is used to emit just one photon?
bet you can't eat just one. First, let me just be up front by disclosing that I have a huge problem with the efficacy of these interferometry models. The polarisers, the material in the instrument, the light emmitters, the...
Thats a reasonable objection...
I think the problem he had with this experimental model is that he made the false assumption that the conditions will remain the same for all the photons you fire at the glass. In his argument he is saying yes, if the conditions are the same, QM is wrong...
