According to http://ufos.about.com/library/weekly/aa103000a.htm Chatelaine was not even a NASA employee. Let alone an Astrophysicist. So the appeal...
In the begining there was Usenet. And the Sekrit Cabal saw it was good and there was much rejoicing across the Net. After time passed the groups...
In physics the number of data points you need to describe somthing is the dimension. To say there are 26 dimensions just means you need 26 data...
Been meaning to comment on this quote. Without the rest of the article to put this into context it seems to refer to the flatness of the Universe,...
That was badly put. A new hypothesis can extend an existing theory. It is rare for a theory to be totally falsified by a new hypothesis but it is...
You obviously feel very strongly about this. First rule of the game is hold onto ideas weakly. Here is how things work in science. If someone...
Indeed, one falsification is all that is required to overthrow, or replace, a theory. Saying that, if a theory has withstood repeated testing the...
Never thought about that, nor read anything. I haven't a clue at the moment. My gut reaction is no, the smaller hole will shred you much faster than...
Brightness cn be used as a measure of distance, but it ha nothing to do with Relativity. Astronomers routinely use Absolute (total intensity of light...
You could use Relativity here but there is no need. The speed of light is so much faster than the rotation of the Earth the difference in transit...
As I said, it is a mathematical term relating to transforms. Mostly used in set theories. In the context of the OP the use of speed only being...
Pete I think there is a counter-example to your case. Consider the gravitational time dilation of a test mass falling into a black hole. As it...
Why would intensity liberate you from time dilation/length contraction? Intensity is simply the amount of light, per second, the receiver detects....
In essence yes. The case where it is not true is where Special Relativity does not hold, in the vicinity of large gravitational fields for example....
Invariance is only a mathematical term for a quantity that does not change under a transform. The point to realise is that the Lorentz-Fitzgerald...
The atmosphere does distort light though. When you see a star twinkling, or scintillating, it is the ligth path changing due to pressure variations...
I forgot about that. Granted that atomic binding energies, and others I mentioned, can be derived in the non-relativistic limit or are not...
Not sure what you mean by this. Gravity is explained as a geometrical effect but is not strictly invariant under transforms the same way. Scratches...
If Special Relativity is wrong then how do you explain that Maxwell's Equations fail under the Galilean Transform. What other transform equations do...
Not a problem. I was half expecting a roasting in response. Thank you. But that is the thing, the relative velocity at start and end, with...
