In a real world situation, you will never be at 100% arms length from the center of mass. It's an imaginary point. A human body as well does not have uniform density. In the REAL world, you'll always have translational movement. You'd need perfect axis of rotation, perfect transfer of...
I used to write out equations for things like this in high school when I was bored in statistics. Imparting angular momentum requires your propulsion to be EXACTLY halfway away from the center of mass. Which means if you are holding onto anything or that any of the propellant is fired...
Oh this ones easy. And experimentally verified a million times over.
First if they are both equal distance from the planet, the signals will reach the Earth at the exact same time. They both however will blueshift (which I hope links to wiki) with the 0.9c craft blue shifting more than the...
When I think of quantum cooling I think of laser cooling. Which is cool. But that's an article that is meant only for devout quantum physicists. I say if something even remotely close to what they want to do is actually shown in a real experiment then I'll first eat my own shoe and second I'll...
The heat engine is shown in the form of wind or water currents. So a fan blade is what we use to "capture" this energy.
One of the guys in the this thread got it right. A tube of gas will eventually equalize its pressure and the heat engine will stop working. The difference in temperature at...
I was supporting your assertion. The math we currently use doesn't describe the total of the physics that is going on in any give system. You seem to be a little too excited, because I just described to you that there may be a link between mass and a wave of energy. That they in fact are not...
The problem with this thought experiment comes with some people will try to understand it using math and some with physics. By definition light has no mass. Problem solved.
However, you must ask yourself what actually happens in the process of converting mass into a lightWAVE. What effect is...
This really isn't a quantum mechanics question. But yes, in the same sense that if you squished a planet down small enough it would turn into a black hole and time dilation would take effect. Scale does determine measurement. The uncertainty principle is another example of scale effecting...
In this experiment wave particle duality is shown. Without observation the wave function is used. With observation the particle function is used.
My question is what is the definition of observation? Specifically in the case of an electron gun is the observer a conductive piece of material...
Take advice from an astronomer, never ask a quantum physicist about physics.
You find the half life by measuring its mass...waiting...and then measuring its mass again. THEN CALCULATING.
Well for me personally I ask what if the universe is a measurable system. Under the standard model gravity is considered an attractive force but has no repelling equivalent.
If this law is true, then dark energy in my opinion, could be unified with gravity. If of course this is a true law of...
Well to begin with the electric field didn't disappear. And the orbit didn't get created by nothing. I would also like to point out you need to remember what keeps the system from exploding/evaporating or collapsing into a singularity.
What if gravity was the only force in a system?
To clarify, this is the kind of answer I'm looking for. To keep the discussion going, I would suggest that a falling ball eventually comes to a sudden stop. Implying the electric field represents a repelling force.
Let's go old school thought experiment.
If you say no, state the real world exception.
If you say yes, state the consequences of it not being a law.
All known systems are observed as the ratio of attractive and repelling fields
