Why Do My T1 and T2 Values for Mineral Oil Show Significant Errors?

Click For Summary
Significant discrepancies in T1 and T2 values for mineral oil can arise due to various factors, including measurement techniques and sample purity. The observed over 50% error compared to published values raises concerns about the accuracy of the experimental setup. It is noted that T1 should be greater than T2, but the user's results contradict this expectation. A suggestion was made to explore T1 and T2 relaxation times for Copper Sulfate as a potential comparison. Accurate measurement and understanding of the underlying physics are crucial for resolving these discrepancies.

Homework Statement
I just need help determining how to find T1 and T2 relaxation times as well as formulas for each. If anyone has any idea where to find T1 and T2 relaxation times for Copper Sulfate in the following concentrations 1 M and .1 M.
Relevant Equations
I know that T1 = t_o/ln(2) but I dont know if there is a formula for T2 besides graphing the data for T2 and getting the line of best fit (exponential) and then inverting the b in e^(-bx), to get that T2=1/b.
I have found articles that show T1 and T2 values for mineral oil and I compare them to mine and there is over 50% error also I know that T1>T2 but mine numbers don't follow that scheme.

Thread 'Product of two boosts and then two inverse boosts is rotation matrix'

So is there some elegant way to do this or am I just supposed to follow my nose and sub the Taylor expansions for terms in the two boost matrices under the assumption ##v,w\ll 1##, then do three ugly matrix multiplications and get some horrifying kludge for ##R## and show that the product of ##R## and its transpose is the identity matrix with det(R)=1? Without loss of generality I made ##\mathbf{v}## point along the x-axis and since ##\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{w} = 0## I set ##w_1 = 0## to...
