    Residual voltage on a ground wire

    Dear All, Thank you for your many answers! I'm extremely grateful! I'm reading them and trying to understand. Yes, Luxembourg in Europe. We replaced all the wiring because it was composed of only two metal wires (L + N, each one wrapped with a tiny cloth sock instead of plastic) without RCD and...

    Residual voltage on a ground wire

    Dear hutchphd, Thanks for replying. To answer your questions: 1) Just the tip of my fingers. I was taking out the dry clothes (well not 100% dry), and rubbed the tip of my fingers against the drum. 2) No, the problem was on another outlet on the same cable. 3) Luxembourg. Thank you! Robert

    Residual voltage on a ground wire

    Dear All, Hope you are fine! Hope this is the right place for this question. If not, my apologies. We just replaced the complete wiring of our apartment with three wires (live, neutral and ground + new circuit breakers + residual current device). Last week I noticed some tickling on my fingers...

    Understanding Time in Space-Time for Beginners

    Dear Everyone! Thanks for all the answers. Now I think I get what's going on, even if I still have lots of additional questions that I will be posting over time. This subject is new for me and completely counter intuitive... On Saturday I saw a documentary on internet about the illusion of time...

    Understanding Time in Space-Time for Beginners

    Thanks all for your answers. Now I'm starting to understand a bit more, I think. I didn't know that the complete frame slows down for an external observer. The information I had access to always talked about clocks and it left me asking always the same questions which were contradicting in my...

    Understanding Time in Space-Time for Beginners

    George, thanks for the explanation. Yes, if time slows down for me and my watch I would never notice, you are right. But, what seems odd to me is that when I travel very fast, my wristwatch also slows down... how does time know that it has to slow down my wristwatch? Or is it slowing all devices...

    Understanding Time in Space-Time for Beginners

    Hi, I think this question goes here... My question is about time. I have seen some documentaries and read some articles in the past but I still don't get it. Which is the time that is being measured when articles speak about space-time? Which devices are used to measure time? As almost...

    See far away objects in space in real time?

    Thanks for your answer, you clarified something important! About the clock, I don't know, because that's also something I never understood :) I guess, my clock here on earth? But it's a mechanical device, and this is what confuses me even more! (in the same way that the ruler you leave in the...

    See far away objects in space in real time?

    Hi, I was asking myself if there is, or might be a way to see far away objects in space in real time? What I mean is that when we look even through the most powerful telescope we always see the past of the object we are looking at, and this past will depend on the distance the object is away...

    What Form Does Matter Take When a Star 'Explodes'?

    Thanks for your answer! As I understand, the different temperatures of the molten Earth did like a separation process on the mixed dust and that's why we can find deposits? Could this also mean that across all the globe there is still dust of gold and uranium, for example, mixed within the rocks...

    What Form Does Matter Take When a Star 'Explodes'?

    Hello! I'm new in the forum and I was reading this post, and I also have a question about the size of the chunks. For example, gold is heavier than iron, so it is created during a supernova explosion (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, how big are those dust particles that end up in space? We...
