Time is not absolute, it is affected by gravity, as Einstein discovered.
Here's the formula for a clock in circular orbit:
t_0 = t_f \sqrt{1 - \frac{3}{2} \! \cdot \! \frac{r_0}{r}}\, .

Programming is a brilliant way to improve your logic, critical thinking, and creativity. Looking at your previous posts I think you'd be a good programmer. Since you want to understand everything and how it works, computer science is also a good area to study.
Being my main area of focus, I...
They do explain several important topics in simpler terms. Even though they are also geared toward non-scientists, they still make a good and fun read. It's easy to differentiate between the real groundbreaking concepts and his imagination. Imagination is the most important thing however, in my...
For some other handy books (not math) I'd recommend Stephen Hawking's "A Briefer History of Time" and "The Grand Design."
If you are planning to teach yourself some calculus a good book would be "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P. Thompson. The author presents many concepts in an intriguing...
If you learn C first, in a Linux environment, you will not regret it in the end. However, this is a long, difficult road. Start small, learning about Linux, then go to programming, maybe get a book like The Art of Unix Programming.
Thanks all for the good advice.
I will definitely be getting this one, I actually stumbled across it while looking at some of the other suggestions and it seems extremely interesting and looks to be a good source for self-teaching. I may also end up with another one of the suggested texts...
I'm a Computer Science major and need 16 hours of science, so I'm going to take 8 hours of Chemistry, and 8 hours of Physics (the rote learning in Biology was killing me).
The physics classes are Mechanics and Electricity (designed for engineering students). I have a high interest in Physics...
The objective: Acquire 60 mL of 0.1 mol Albumin. The only Albumin solution available is a 2.5 mol stock solution.
1)How many milliliters of the stock solution will you need to make the desired amount of the 0.1 M solution?
I used the C1 X V1 = C2 X V2 formula to calculate an answer of 2.4...
