High School What Causes Gravity? Insulation & Density Explained
The reason why we have gravity. I think it is because of the insulation we have between us and the center of the Earth. The Earth beneath us separates space itself. Space wants to go back to that center point in the Earth, however it can't because the elements in the ground are in the way...- Pocketwatch2

Graduate Does increasing velocity shrink matter?
The reason I refer to a black hole is because it is constantly accelorating the objects that are locked in its orbit. For example, our solar system is locked in orbit around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Why is there a black hole at the center of our galaxy? It is...- Pocketwatch2

Graduate Does increasing velocity shrink matter?
It seems that the ideal state for matter is for it to get compressed to a high degree or even to the point of infinity at the speed of light, just before it reaches the singularity in a black hole.- Pocketwatch2

The Mayan Calendar and the Winter Solstice
Sorry if the numbers are slightly off but I am just giving you the figures from running my program. The mayan calendar just counts the days. The gregorian calendar converts the days to years. Just finished running my program again. The winter solstice advanced from dec. 21 2012...- Pocketwatch2

The Mayan Calendar and the Winter Solstice
Another thing I need to add is that a cycle on the mayan calendar is 1872000 days. Multiply this by 52 cycles and you get 97344000 days. Divide 97344000 days by 266519 years and you get: 365.24225289754201389019169365036 A tropical year exactly. A tropical year is from winter...- Pocketwatch2

The Mayan Calendar and the Winter Solstice
I forgot to mention that my gregorian calendar is ultra precise and keeps track of leap years perfectly. year equally divisible by 4 leap=1 year equally divisible by 100 leap=0 year equally divisible by 400 leap=1 year equally divisible by 4000 leap=0- Pocketwatch2

The Mayan Calendar and the Winter Solstice
I just wanted to point out to the readers that the mayan calendar is a useful and extremely accurate tool to follow the cycles of the sun. I am studying the cycles of venus so I can fit it into the program to see how the cycles fall on the mayan calendar.- Pocketwatch2

The Mayan Calendar and the Winter Solstice
I have been working on a c program that ties the mayan calendar to our gregorian calendar. Running the program starting from 0.0.0.0.0 (13 baktun) on the mayan and december 21 on the gregorian, the next time 13 baktun occurs on the winter solstice is 266519 years in the future. This is...- Pocketwatch2
