    Parton? quarks? what is the difference?

    okay... i get it that they are from a different perspective but the quark goes into more details of the working... i got another question... i was trying to read up more about this topic and found that there was a experiment done by James Bjorken at Stanford Linear Accelerator where he shot...

    Parton? quarks? what is the difference?

    hey i am having a problem problem with understanding the difference between the parton model for the structure of the atom proposed by Richard Feynman and the quark structure... it would be really helpful if someone could give me good links where both of the them are explained in a simple...

    Stefan's Law And Definition Of Temperature

    i am not sure if this is the reason but the reason i think stefan's law is not used to define temperature is because it doesn't actually help us understand anything about temperature and also the energy given out by an object in the surrounding due to the difference of temperature depends on the...

    Permutation Operator: Understanding & Application

    can you tell me where you got this from or what is this about? what i think happened was that Ea = EB x Ea0 (sorry i don't know how to put in the greek words and the subscripts here) so since Ea0 is a constant it was brought out of the equation, then the summation divided by the N...

    RC Circuits - Why Does the Graph of R vs. tau Pass Through the Origin?

    i am not sure what you mean by the amount of time it take for a charge to on the capacitator to go from 0 to 63.2%... but yes practically it is not possible to get zero resistance unless you get super-resistors...

    How Does the Radius of a Raindrop Affect Its Acceleration and Terminal Velocity?

    the thing to be considered may be the drag of the drop as it falls down which depends on the surface area of the rain drop. this drag limits the velocity of the drop to a specific number...

    Understanding Black Holes: Comparing Mass Calculation Methods

    i see... thanks for telling that... i will go through a few more articles to understand the thing better

    Understanding Black Holes: Comparing Mass Calculation Methods

    actually i was checking out the thing abut the using enthropyto find the mass of the black hole and apparently it is possible ( i never knew that till now myself :rolleyes:) but i found in this link that it is possible...

    Data on galaxies -good references ?

    well i am not sure if these sites contain the thing your looking for but have a look http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/ http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fid http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html

    Understanding Black Holes: Comparing Mass Calculation Methods

    depends on what way you do it to find the mass of the planet... but i think the mass of a black hole is found using the gravitational field it exerts on the surroundings

    Another Mythbusters experiment

    well i think you got the fpr and f on the car by engine wrong cause when the car is turned the engine of the car gives the force along the direction where the car is pointing (provided the wheels of the cars are not turned) and also the friction on th motion ofthe car depends on the direction...

    Understanding the Duality of Photons: Particle or Wave?

    if you go on to read the John Wheeler's philosophy link given below and read through that you will find a very interesting point. Wheeler says that the photon is in a state where it is the intermediate between a particle and and a wave and that its behaviour changes according to the experiment...

    Understanding the Duality of Photons: Particle or Wave?

    before i give my opinion on the question i think the statement you gave is false cause what i think is the wave packet is a probability wave and when in maths we write it as a collection of waves it is only because that is how the waves mechanics is worked out and it isn't a collection of...
