    Heat Reflection
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the force or mass of heat reflection from a specified surface area using a radiometer. Participants explore the relevant equations that relate to the principles of thermodynamics and radiation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the radiative properties of surfaces and how they affect heat reflection. Additionally, the role of sunlight and its intensity is highlighted as a critical factor in these calculations. Accurate calculations are essential for applications in solar energy and thermal management.

Thread 'Question about Parallel Transport'

In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
