do you know what a lorentz transformation is?
it has infinite resolution for sure, but so do a lot of mathmatical functions. the set of real numbers between 3 and 4 is infinite, but doesn't...
thanks for the words, synergy. I'm an undergrad, and I wish I had the time for grad school. very badly. but I don;t :( . the big problem is that...
hey all. I've got a great understanding of physics. a degree will do that for you. unfortunately, I have my reservations about the quality of my...
even if I didn't want to take Einstein's word for it, Feynman's word is good enough for me. the fact that it's been backed up by experimentation in...
doubtful. that's like asking if something can have negative speed. I guess it's possible that something could interact with teh higgs field in such...
I read popsci books to get the general theory on areas I want to get into, so I have an idea how to visualize what I'm going to be studying. I...
Someone help. This is one of those precious few things I can't seem to get over. I was reading The Elegant Universe a while back, and this issue is...
as far as a real world scenerio goes, I think any force you generate on the ship by throwing the brick would get bled off as heat. Think of how much...
Upon reading the replies since my post I'm going to have to go with the unceartainty thing. I hadn't thought of that. But as far as getting the...
BS in physics. Calc 1-3, Diffy-Q, Math physics. that's pretty much it. I learned most of my higher math in physics though. particularly...
MIT has a very promising reactor. their Qs are competetive with most other experimental reactors. I don't know if they are with ITER or not, but I...
Hawking, in "universe in a nutshell," has a good analogy of how "curved space" can make up a boundless universe. He does it when he's talking about...
calculus. or limits if you're the masochistic type. but those are just extremely good approximations. there's really no way to get perfect...
Time is just another dimention we homies kick it on. We travel along it just like we travel along the other 3 dimensions. Its not "made" of...
who's heard of this? what are your opinions? Its another sort of special relativity that holds the planck lenth as the shortest something can get...
I always understood that the "c" was an abreviation for "wiCked fast," since light is, technically, wicked fast. Its the only logical explaination....
I would never trust my being to be encoded like that. maybe rudimentary insect or plant life. I mean, what if there's .000000000001 ohms somewhere...
I assume this is a british torch and not an american one. British torches run on batteries, and american torches run on fire :D -IggDawg
From what I gather, the Planck time is considered to be the quantum time unit. I think its more of a "any smaller than this makes no difference"...
