What is Events: Definition and 356 Discussions

This is a list of events held and scheduled by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts promotion based in the United States. UFC's first event, UFC 1, took place on November 12, 1993. Each UFC event contains several fights. Traditionally, every event starts off with a preliminary card followed by a main card, with the last fight being known as the main event.

    Random Distribution of Laborers: Probability of Observed Events

    1) In a lottery there are 10 tickets numbered 1,2,3,...,10. Two nubmers are drawn for prizes. You hold tickets 1 and 2. What is the probability that you win at least one prize? Method 1: assume order matters (different order=>different outcome) P(win at least one prize) = P(win exactly one...

    Why does time have a minus sign in the SR interval equation?

    Hello in SR, the interval between two events is defined to be: s^2=x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - t^2 so my question is, why does the time get a minus sign? what differs it from the other 3 dimensions, what's the physical meaning of this difference and what is the physical meaning of this interval s^2...

    History Asteroid impact events in history/mythology

    Given the frequency of relatively minor asteroidal impacts, similar to the Tunguska event, it seems to me that ancient literature would be rife with stories of them, probably interpreted as acts of the gods or God. For example, in the Bible is the story (2Samuel 24 and 1Chronicles 21) of David...

    Is There an Absolute Time When Events Occur?

    Hi folks - I'm struggling here! Please help ;-) Surely the concept of relativity of simultaneity is an illusion based on the finite speed of light? If an observer witnesses an event (Event A) and is at distance of zero (d=0) from Event A, then that is the TRUE time the event occurred. It is...

    Spacelike, timelike, relativity and simultaneity of events

    Homework Statement Two events, A and B, are separated in space. In one frame of reference, event A occurs first and is seen to cause event B. Is it possible to find other frames of reference where event B occurs before event A? If the order of two events does depend upon the frame of...

    SOHO Observed Solar Inflow Events: What's the Explanation?

    Hi people. Is there an explanation for the observations of streams of gas/plasma flowing into the sun? SOHO has observed a number of these inflowing events, traveling against the predominant direction of the solar wind, I think a good few thousand have been logged since they were originally...

    Discuss events which are simultaneous in one frame?

    I have scanned the simultaneity related posts and cannot find a succinct answer to a question I have - I accept that the answer is probably buried in one or more of them. My question is related to the common claim that you somehow lose simultaneity in relativity, or that the idea of...

    How would you observe outside events on a spacecraft?

    If you were traveling near the speed of light on a spacecraft moving away from the Earth how you would you observe events happening on the earth, at normal speed or in slow motion? I can't work this out because I know light is always gaining on you at C even if you are traveling close to the...

    Probability : Dependent Events

    Hello all, this is my first post here. Got into a debate over when a deck of cards drawn without replacement is dependent. My opinion is that when there is no replacement, it is always dependent. That even before you draw the first card, you know already what the odds are. My "esteemed...

    Independent Events: Pr(A$\cap$B) = Pr(A)Pr(B)

    Do hypernova events really exist, is there any proof for one existing?

    Do these events really exist and is there any proof for one existing? or do we have to wait until a massive star really does explode? Even so, what could be the effects on the Earth if such an event were to happen (say for example Eta Carinae 8000 light years away?)

    Comparing the Probability of Events: Is the Difference Greater Than Expected?

    If two events 1 and 2 have probability 0.81 and 0.82 And another two events, 3 and 4 have probability 0.01 and 0.02 Would it be correct to say that (event 4 will occur more often than event 3), compared with (event 2 more likely to occur than even 1)? The comparison is 'the more likely'. To...

    Mutually exclusive/independent events

    Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between these two terms (in words, not maths)? If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then A and B can't both happen at the same time. Is that right? What's the difference between that and if A and B were independent? :confused:

    All events are maximally conjunctive
