Thanks, that's just the answer I was looking for as there's so much information around it's hard to find it simple and condensed like that.
As a final question then, as Bill_K mentioned a proton would have mass without the Higgs mechanism. As a proton is made of 3 quarks, what is the...
Are you, or anyone else, able to elaborate slightly on this please? Which elementary particles does the Higgs give (or does not give) mass? I had it in my head that everything that had mass was a result of coupling with the field.
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
I have a colour-colour (that is, V-R against B-V) diagram of a young open cluster, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on any information that can be gleaned from such a diagram? I have searched the internet and these forums to no real avail.
There is a clear linear line...
This is an incredibley helpful post for me in my early research into the problem, thanks!
It is becoming quite a struggle to categorise the different interpretations, would you mind telling me if the bolded section is referring to Bohr's epistemological interpretation? As compared to the...
I always notice the lack of G-forces/forces from acceleration in movies.
Yes, you might be able to build a kickass exoskeleton, but doesn't accelerating it from 0 - 1000 km/h with you inside it... you know, hurt somewhat?
Is this in North American universities?
I don't expect it to be done above undergraduate where people obviously have a good knowledge of the world of academia, but in day-to-day talk I think undergraduates especially seem to talk like Jack with "All of my professors have...".
But having a Ph.D doesn't make you a Professor, it makes you a doctor and a Doctor =/= a Professor.
You seem to call everyone in the university who has a Ph.D a professor, which is not the case in any university I know of in the UK. I think you've answered my query, although I don't quite...
This is what I mean :biggrin:
Do you mean professors as literally people who hold the position of professor within the university, or are all the lecturers (who hold various positions including professorships) referred to as professors (unofficially) by the undergrads.
I'd prefer not to spend the course of human history stuck inside a rock, or after having fun on Earth with people for 0.0[insert 0s here]1% of my lifetime to drift through space doing apsolutely nothing for the rest.
Even if humans survived for a million years (which would be a great outcome...
This also really confuses me.
I think what I have gathered is most if not all undergraduates in the USA call their lecturers "professors" regardless of their actual titles, whereas in the UK there is a clear distinction between the lecturer who is a doctor, and the lecturer who is a professor...
I've given it a bit of thought and in answering DanR by saying something along the lines of "lets assume the universe is..." I see how I've made the concept harder than it needs to be by placing it in the universe rather than in say, a garage. That made my question a lot more to do with notions...
A spaceship is of length 1000 meters (to the observer standing in the spaceship).
It is traveling so close to the speed of light that to the observer in the spaceship, the 'length' of the universe has contracted to 900 meters.
Q1: If I am the observer in the spaceship, what do I think the front...
