I came across this document when I did a Goggle on theories that violate the conservation of energy law. As I read about Einstein he felt it necessary to look at every ting cynically, even universally accepted laws such as those developed by Newton.
Later on I...
Thanks for the link, there is a lot of information there, it will take a good while to not only read it but to look at all the links provided.
But I have one more question. What is the force or the name of the force that pulls space time back into a straight line? It seems to me that...
In the book I am reading it said something like if you converted all the energy in a single raisin it would be enough to power NY city for a week. I am not about to attempt doing the math but it is quite striking how much energy is contained in such a small object.
I recently read that space time is curved by and object with mass. The example given was of a trampoline with a bowling ball and pool balls moving across the surface. I can understand or at least visualize this easily.
However, Since all objects do not exist on the same plane or do they, I...
Thanks for the replies to my post. After some reading I came across a good bit of information on Lagrange Points which I think are what these areas are called with Trojan points consisting of points L4 and L5 which are are 60 degree angles to the two bodies. Apparently these points are being...
The man in the box came from a book on the life of Einstein. It was said that this was one of his thought experiments that led to his idea that light would be curved by gravity.
There really is not much to explain. There is a box suspended by a rope in a gravitational field. Since the man...
I am not trained in physics but find it extremely interesting to read about. As I was reading a book on Einstein it talked about about gravitational force being equal to inertial mass. A good deal of the discussion talked about a man in a box and the inability to distinguish one effect from...
There is most definately something spiritual about playing a guitar or any instrument for that matter. I picked up a guitar that was not played in many years because its owner died tragically at the age of 22. The guitar sat in its case for 10 or 15 years. I was dating his sister and said that...
I think this is one of the best quotes and explanations that I have read in a long time. The only thing I would change is at the end where you say "rules that applies to everyone" I think you should have said "rules that it demands are applied to everyone" I find that much of what is considered...
Now this is the big question. In fact I believe that there has to be free will. If everything is determined because everything is the result of cause action, a causes b etc then I think there would be more randomness to the way we act. But in actuallity our society seems to have an order and...
I read this thread with a great deal of amazement. To think that someone would ask a question, get an answer and then say that's not it stupid is just a bad joke. Ok maybe the answer did not seem right but they did not counter it with reasons for feeling they were wrong and in some cases just...
Ok now this I finally understand. I guess I was not seeing the loss of energy from the water in the right way. So if the liquid was not water but something that contracts would the opposite be true and the liquid would freeze quicker when an object was placed over it if the liquid contracted...
I have heard of paralysis like that before and even know someone who got it. So that part is not so hard to understand and because it is a mental thing and not a physical problem I would think that weird thought processes are possible. I guess I am pretty familiar with weird thought processes...
DrChinese you are right I do not have knoledge of QM, hell I am not 100% certain I know what you even mean by QM. So I will trust you that knowing more about it would lead me to a better insight into this question. However, QM, relativity or any other concept all may be proved with some...
I wish I could understand this as what you say still does not make sense to me. The fact that water freezes at a lower temperature under pressure some how does not explain why the suspended object has an increase in potential energy. I did not say it was an especially big object as anything...
