    Ball Hup
AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores a hypothetical scenario where a volleyball thrown from one boat magically disappears and reappears behind another boat, pushing a friend closer. This phenomenon is linked to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, suggesting that while improbable for macroscopic objects like volleyballs, it can occur with elementary particles. The conversation highlights the contrast between classical physics and quantum mechanics, emphasizing the unique behaviors of particles at a quantum level. A reference to a resource on virtual particles is provided for further reading. The idea illustrates the intriguing implications of quantum mechanics in understanding physical interactions.

Hello,

Suppose you are on a boat and your friend is on another boat behind you.
if you have a volley ball and you throw it at front direction and, by magic,
the ball desappears and reappears behind you and your friend, such that
pushes your friend to you. This magic is permitted by " Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle".

The probability is rather small.
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
