So the gyroscope, if in an inertial frame, would keep its angle the same, but in this case it would precess? And that an inertial frame is different from a perspective? Is this correct? And are you saying that if we include time dilation, it would help solve this problem?

I do not think I fully understand. The Coriolis Force is caused by the difference of the change in angle as you travel farther from the center point right? So the head would experience different centrifugal forces than the feet. And you are right, I did not account for those forces when...

Let's say you have two rings. Both rings have the same radius and are aligned so that the holes are perfectly parallel to each other and a straight line can be drawn through them without interference. Both rings spin along the same axis with the same speed, but in opposite directions. If you...

In linear accelerators that use a disk loaded structure (traveling wave), how would you calculate the iris(disk hole) radius, cavity radius, and disk thickness according to the wavelength

Forgive me for not being very specific, I do not now enough to really ask the right questions. I'm trying to kind of learn everything about the construction, science, and math of linear accelerators that use cavities and radio/microwaves. Any information regarding this subject,, or where to find...

In a linear accelerator that use cavities and microwaves or radio waves to accelerate particles, how would one find dimensions such as cavity openings, cavity size, length between cavities, etc.

In the big rip theory, the force of dark energy isn't constant and increases over time. This causes first galaxies to fly apart, then solar systems, then planets, then stars, then atoms, then the atom nuclei. If it keeps increasing, it would start pulling the quarks inside protons and neutrons...

What I mean by this is the answer should be something like pi, infinitely long, not infinitely large. Pi is infinitely long, but will never go above 3.14

But as it goes out, the energy would get smaller and smaller, getting to the point where even though it's infinite, the energy would be so much smaller the farther you go away, it couldn't reach the next decimal place. Think about it like this, a circle with certain dimensions will have a...

How would you calculate the energy in an electromagnetic field produced by a particle such as an electron?

Electrons have both mass and electromagnetic charge, so why is it that an electron's rest energy is equal to its mass energy with E=mc^2? Shouldn't it have some energy left over to excite the electromagnetic field? The mass energy excites the Higgs field, so why is there no energy for the EM field?

Do electrons excite the EM field or do they just create virtual photons that do? If you could only see EMF excitations, would you see the electrons or virtual photons coming from the electrons?

Just as there are virtual photons, which are in the EM field, are there virtual particles in fields such as the Higgs and Strong?

Why does the weak force only interact with left-handed particles or right-handed antiparticles? And does this mean that the particles that don't have those properties won't decay?

If photons are the force carrier of the EM force, and they have no charge, how do they give the information between two charged particles? How would a proton know the difference between a electron and positron?
