[Moderator's note: Recategorized thread to "Basic".] I'm having an issue at work that I think may be down to temperature. I have a sealed chamber that is 1m X 1m X 1.5m. The chamber has to be pressure tested but the results are all over the show. The only variable is temperature. So my...

The beta function is defined as: \beta(\lambda)=M\frac{d}{dM}\lambda If we make the substitution t=ln(p/M) the above equation becomes: \beta(\lambda)=-\frac{d}{dt}\lambda Now if we use e.g. the QED beta function \beta(e)=\frac{e^3}{12\pi^3} and for e(p=M)=e_0 the result is...

Hi, I am aware that in order for energy to be conserved the reference frame that you are using must be inertial. However, consider the situation where you are using the reference frame of the Earth and there is a decently sized planet directly above on course for collision. The two have a...
