AI Thread Summary
Einstein and Planck had differing views on the influence of society and politics on scientific research. Einstein's deterministic perspective emphasized that scientific inquiry should remain objective and free from societal biases, while Planck acknowledged that societal factors could shape scientific progress. The discussion references the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which contrasts with Einstein's beliefs. Participants suggest exploring Planck's contributions to better understand these differences. Understanding these contrasting viewpoints is essential for grasping the broader implications of science's relationship with society.

Well it was pretty well known that einstein was deterministic. Look up the copenhagen conventions I think its called. Also read up on what Planck is known for. There should be a contradiction there somewhere.
 
I will. Thank you~| FilupSmith |~
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
