AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of "basic principles" across various fields, with an emphasis on their fundamental mechanisms. Participants express uncertainty about whether the term refers to specific equations or general concepts learned through study. It is noted that each scientific discipline has its own set of basic principles that govern its operations. The conversation highlights the need for specificity when discussing fields, as there are numerous types, including electrostatic and gravitational fields. Clarity in the topic of discussion is essential for meaningful dialogue.

What are the "basic principles"?

Someone mentioned this to me earlier while we were talking about fields, I'm not sure if he meant a specific set of equations or methods, or if he was talking about something which you deduce after a certain amount of learning. What do you think he was talking about?

J3NOVA,
For me it is impossible know what your friend was talking about. All areas of science have "basic principles" that describe their fundamental mechanism of operation.

There are electrostatic fields, gravitational fields, acoustic fields, strawberry fields, and more. So, if you are asking about fields can you please be more specific?

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...
