    I Deur Gravitational self-interaction Doesn't Explain Galaxy Rotation Curves

    i had really hoped they would explain that GMM/r > Mc^2 its so vague, it seems it could be an argument against dark matter. the rest mass energy of the dark matter must be less than the normal Newtonian potential ?

    An Exceptionally Technical Discussion of AESToE

    so...how was lunch with distler? what did you guys eat? who paid? how much of a tip did you leave?

    Programs Will I require any physics degree to publish a paper?

    i was just seperating "science" as a profession and "science" as in the scientific method.

    Programs Will I require any physics degree to publish a paper?

    hopefully "science" is still practiced the same way now as in 1905.

    Understanding the Hamiltonian of a System: Explained for Beginners

    just one opinion, but i think feynmans books are too 'showy' and if you are really into it griffiths is much much better. griffiths is really good for both EM and QM. in one sentence the hamiltonian tells you how a system evolves in time. this happens to be related to the energy which...

    Speed of light in a superconductor

    there are also negative index of refraction materials which also mess that up. i think the subtlety is the phase vs group velocity of the light waves.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity "...The phase velocity of electromagnetic radiation may under certain circumstances (e.g. in the...

    Attraction and repulsion for identical particles

    hi, what do you think of this?: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=246075 pretty crude, but maybe something like that.

    Quantum attraction by exchange of particles

    i think i have a sign wrong in my math, but you get the idea (i hope)

    Quantum attraction by exchange of particles

    hi, the standard (?) explanation for particle exchange to produce repulsion and attraction is at: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/virtual_particles.html this seems to me to have two problems. 1.) in the case of repulsion beteen two electrons, the direction has to be...

    Wearing Clothing in Exceptionally Hot Weather?

    just drove past a farm on a hot day where all the strawberry pickers were totally covered, some in what seemed like thick sweatshirts. of course they have other concerns like mosquitos. but i think from their experience it seemed like wearing more clothes was not a negative thing

    There's more starlight than we thought (nearly twice as much)

    arXiv:0805.3565 (May 2008) Inclination- and dust-corrected galaxy parameters: Bulge-to-disc ratios and size-luminosity relations Alister W. Graham and C. C. Worley from the abstract "...Using the bulge magnitude corrections from Driver et al., we additionally derive the average, dust-corrected...

    There's more starlight than we thought (nearly twice as much)

    dark energy != standard candles

    There's more starlight than we thought (nearly twice as much)

    i think there is more to it than that. if this causes distances to be off for some of the standard candles, it might cascade and require others to be fixed. i found this after posting, he says we need to wait to see if this affects much wont let me post a url, but its on the bad astronomy...

    There's more starlight than we thought (nearly twice as much)

    does this affect standard candles?

    Unveiling the Observations of a Spinning Disc Approaching Light Speed

    talking mainly to myself, but i think i accept the standard resolution now. this site really helped grenouille-bouillie.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-teach-special-relativity.html
