    Help with Integral: Solve from 0 to pi

    Same integral (latex version) Yeah, it looks llike: \int_{0}^{\pi} \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{-1-4 cos(x)^2 cos(y)^2+4cos(y)^2+cos(x)^2}{1+4cos(y)^2+4cos(y)cos(x)}dx dy As explained before, this are the last terms of a 16 terms integral, all the other came to be integers.

    Help with Integral: Solve from 0 to pi

    I accept any suggestion in how to work out the integral below. It is a simplification of an integral over all k space. It had 16 terms and I am down to this 4. The idea is to integrate it from 0 to pi in respect of x, and y. int{int{(-1-4 cos(x)^2*cos(y)^2+4cos(y)^2+cos(x)^2) /...

    Is Newton's Bucket Proof of Absolute Space?

    Here is an excellent article about the bucket's experiment... still doesn't explain clearly the sphere's thought experiment...

    Relativity and Absolute Space: A Reconciliation?

    Ok, I think we are loosing track here... Anyway, If I move fast, very fast, around the bucket I will see no curvature of the water (would I?). But if I spin the bucket, then the curvature is produce, indicating its true motion relative to absolute space. Mach argued that if we rotate the...

    Relativity and Absolute Space: A Reconciliation?

    How does relativity accounts for rotational motion, which is a non inertial reference frame? How does relativity responds to Newton's thought experiment to prove the existence of absolute space? He argued that the curvature of the water inside a rotating bucket, demonstrates the true motion...

    Is Newton's Bucket Proof of Absolute Space?

    Newton's bucket...absolute space? As many of you know, Newton used a thought experiment to prove the existence of absolut space. He argued that the curvature of the water inside a bucket while rotating, demonstrates the the true motion of the water in reference of what must be absolute space...
