.Scott replied to the thread I With gravitational lensing, which way is down?.OK. It was there all along - but I am only applying enough thrust to balance out the direct gravitational effects of the lens (ie, the...

.Scott replied to the thread I With gravitational lensing, which way is down?.@Dale regarding "almost": If it was directly behind the lens, I would get an Einstein ring. But for this scenario, I don't want an...

.Scott posted the thread I With gravitational lensing, which way is down? in Special and General Relativity.Let me construct a scenario. My space craft is due south of a black hole - or other gravitational lens. But I have arranged my...

.Scott replied to the thread Life expectancy of a domestic PV system.The "claim" they have is probably just the right to maintain their solar panels. It's still my neighbor's roof - so he would still be...

.Scott replied to the thread Life expectancy of a domestic PV system.Beware of that "for free" installation. A few years ago I asked my neighbor about his roof solar panels. They had gotten dirty enough...

.Scott replied to the thread Big Ben In N Dimensions.In 3D, the clocks are arranged on the surfaces of a square vertical cylinder. I would put my 4D Big Ben on a 4D globe with a 3D...

.Scott replied to the thread I Quantum decoherence vs. measurement process.The detector may be large, but what is important is how much influence a measurement has on the state of the detection system. A...

.Scott replied to the thread How Does Flickering Light Influence Our Brain's Perception of Image Brightness?.As I am sure you are aware, the NTSC objective was not perfection. It was to jam a color picture plus into a 6MHz band. It was a...

.Scott replied to the thread How Does Flickering Light Influence Our Brain's Perception of Image Brightness?.With CRTs there is a frame rate and a field rate. For progressive, they are the same. For interlaced, they are not. In your...

.Scott reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread Intersection of a circle and a sine curve with
Like.
It is only wrong if you assume the most trivial interpretation of the question. I would not do that. Suppose you interpret the question... -
.Scott replied to the thread Intersection of a circle and a sine curve.First off, sorry for becoming unavailable. My follow-on hint would have been to try b=r-1, r>10. But regarding ambiguity - Here's how...

.Scott reacted to vcsharp2003's post in the thread Intersection of a circle and a sine curve with Like.
If it's a straight line there would be many peaks of the sin wave that it would touch. If we take it further down so it is on the x-axis...

.Scott replied to the thread Intersection of a circle and a sine curve.I saw the answer at once without using any Math. I suggest drawing a picture using different size circles. If you are still stuck later...

.Scott replied to the thread I Describe the Physics involved in swinging a rope to catch a cow.The Physics are not extraordinary, except that unlike other Physics problems, the rope does have mass. Here is a a shorter instructional...
