    Constant Gravity
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether gravity is limitless and if it is always increasing. Participants question how an increasing gravity aligns with the universe's tendency toward equilibrium. There is also speculation about whether gravity could transform into another fundamental force. Additionally, it is noted that the gravitational field has limits, particularly regarding acceleration to the speed of light. The conversation highlights the complexities of understanding gravity's nature in the context of universal laws.

If gravity is limitless, is it always increasing?

If its always increasing then how does it correlate with the idea that everything in the universe tends to strive towards equilibrium?

Does it change into one of the other fundamental forces?

Not sure what you mean by this , but the G field would reach a limit in that it couldn't accelerate someone to the speed of light ,
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
