I'm not sure what you mean by this, Karl. The centrifugal "force," like the coriolis "force" aren't really forces at all. They're corrections to Newton's second law applied in non-inertial reference frames.Sharks_Edge said:The concept of gravity as traditionally known in the world of science is based on velocity and the effects of centrifugal force.
Mmm... another cool topic. No, I won't write another thesis on this one, I promise...Research in super conductors has shown the principle of harnessing these particles via magnetic field constriction. The principle is similar to creating a laser by collecting photons into a coherent beam, except we collect charged particles via magnetic flux.
Well, it'd probably be pretty empty, actually. An occasional graviton out there "exploring the bulk," maybe.Kismet said:Once we get to another membrane, it's gonna be soooo cool!
I gotta second the recommendation -- they do a good job on that show of faithfully representing researchers' work.There is a great, yes, GREAT, NOVA PBS couple of segments on String Theory, gravitrons, weak and strong forces, electro-magnetic forces, branes, and even (for those who like flashy stuff) the Big Bang. Eleven dimensions? Couldbe.
Oh, my aching thesis!write 500 word essays on how stuff works.
The Buddhist (?) mural has an orange and a white circle in the sky. The painting of Mary has a weird dark lozenge in the sky. It looks grossly similar to descriptions of UFOs I've heard before. Though frankly, it could also be some obscure iconographic reference. Looks like late-Medieval, early Renaissance, probably Italian. What's the name, painter, date? Maybe there's been some study of this particular painting. Not being an Art Historian, I can't ID it.DannyinJapan said:Would you look at the picture and give me an objective opinion ?
Are you referring to this guy:Peter Lynds has demonstrated to the world that Time does not exist.
So, Einsteins' work that requires time as a constant is now entirely questionable, which Im certain Einstein would have agreed with in the first place.
Here is Botticelli's version:Madonna of the Magnificat - Baby Christ inspires Mary for writing the Magnificat, her hymn of praise to the Lord. Two of the angels are crowning her as the Queen of Heavens. The crown consists of innumerable stars; they are an illusion to the stella matutina (morning star), one of the Virgin's names in contemporary hymns devoted to Mary.
See: Alessandro Botticelli. Madonna of the Magnificat.
