That is absolutely amazing. Thank you Sir, my motivation for solving this problem is back up! May you have a good Friday evening.

I just realized I posted this in the wrong sub-forum, my bad! I request that an admin delete this thread. I have created it in the right sub-forum now. Sorry again. //WeW

Hello mathematicians! I've recently completed a trigonometry course online and find the subject to be of great interest. I find the laws of sine and cosine fascinating and extremely useful and also, of course, Pythagoras theorem is beautiful as well. Firstly, I claim no superior knowledge...

Two things. According to Einstein no object with mass can reach the speed of light. The elementary particle photon which is responsible for the electromagnetic spectrum moves at the speed of light and have no mass. Researchers might have disproved Einstein's hypothesis but that has not been...

Hello Stargazer. I have no educational background on this subject and I, like you, find this subject of astronomy quite interesting. I will try to answer your question though I can probably only answer your last question with a little confidence. 1) I have never heard of that hypothesis. I...

I am not a expert on black holes but I think I have an answer - please correct me if wrong. A black hole is not a hole in a 2-dimensional surface which is the most common use of a hole. A black hole is a 3-dimensional hole. Because if its gravitation it pulls everything down into the hole and...

Hello Ibysaiyan. It's correct that "dark matter" does not interact with electromagnetic radiation in any way. However, as you pointed out, gravitation does influence it. Weakly interacting massive particles could be the right hypothesis but until then I would suggest that "dark matter" is a...

Dark matter and dark energy is something that is completely unaccounted for. As some of you pointed out we can measure that the universe is expanding, and we're pretty sure it's correct, I think it was Edwin Hubble who discovered that galaxy's was moving away from us (our horizon in space is...

It would be very helpful if you can confirm if that is correct. It's sounds true after the research I've done.

Very helpful indeed. I have taken the difference between mass and weight for granted. I just looked it up after reading your reply and I got a bigger understanding. Mach's principle sounds very interesting I will check it out later. And just to make sure I understand mass - weight. Mass is...

Hello PF. I learned, for some time ago, that objects in space in orbit are weightless and to this day it still blows my mind. Its rumored that Issac Newton sat under the apple tree and in the same view he saw that apple drop from the tree to the ground he also noticed the moon up in space and...

You're probably right I am a "newbie" on this topic of astrophysics. Anyways I am pretty certain that I've read and heard a number of statements that there is evidence for those conditions. I will look it up but again you're probably right. That's correct such a complex reaction - simple...

I see that. I will make some research my self though, as I said I find it quite fascinating. Good day. :) //WeW

Hello PF. I would like to get your view on the plausible scenario panspermia that might have happened from Mars to Earth. I will try to explain what I know about this scenario and please correct me if I am wrong but I am quite fascinated and a little bit disturbed that this might be the case...

Hello bateman. Quite frankly' it does not look like that you have enjoyed your bachelor. To understand the universe, over the average person, and maybe even to a professional level where it becomes your occupation takes a huge passion and motivation - like everything else. Of course you need...
