So, if the energy required to lift the water through capillary action, is coming from the inter-molecular forces, then why aren't these forces being 'used up' very slightly as they convert their energy into the gaining of height by the water molecules?

How can an object have an energy/mass due to its kinetic energy/acceleration, but not when it is at rest? This makes no sense to me, for if an object exists in physical actuallity, then it must have substance, for if it didn't then it would have no prescence, and thus could not be detected. And...

Hi there, I've got a few questions about light that I'm hoping someone can help me with. 1. If the properties of energy and mass are interchangeable, then if some particle or wave possesses charge or energy then it must also have mass. Whether a photon is acting as a particle or a wave it...

Ok, so if an obect is picked up by holding it at the end of a 5 metre stick, then the object requires more force to lift, than at the end of a 1 metre stick, or with no stick at all. 1)Now I understand the Effect of this, What I don't understand is why this happens? The true mass of the...

Hi guys thanks for some of your posts about the Fomalont, Kopeikin experiment. I looked into the criticisms by Clifford Will, as George Jones suggested. It said that he carried out detailed calculations, in these he put gravity's speed at any value, and yet the results for the delay of light was...

Thanks for your replies. But I think prehaps i didn't make the exactities of my question very clear. What I'm trying to get at, is that if you type in the question: what is the speed of gravity, the answer will come back as the speed of c, because this has supposedly been proven by the Kopeikin...

During my contemplation of gravity, I recently came across the Experiment performed on Sept 8 2002 using the VLBA to measure the speed of the lensing effect caused by Jupiters gravitational influence upon a quasar stream. The accuracy achieved by using the VLBA was immensly impressive, and they...
