It's all relative.
Y'know elliptical, parabola, hyperbola etc. depending on initial ke.
TIA
I've been substituting the Electric field with the gravitational, the constant 1/Ξ΅_0 with G, and the Charge enclosed with the Mass enclosed in, the equation-
E.dS = Q/Ξ΅_0
The idea seems to be quite similar, but the expression for Gravitational field that I obtain is different. So, is this law being applied incorrectly?
The equation is F(r)=[(GMm)/(r^2\)]rΜ... Does the r-hat(w/ circumflex) cancel out the square in the denominator or is it some other value?
I'm doing field model stuff with charges in physics and have an exam tomorrow so some clarification would be great... In the main notes my prof wrote: F=(kqQ/r^2)rΜ ... but in the summary section he wrote simply F=kqQ/r
It seems the obvious answer is yes, they do cancel out. But this is a newer concept to me and I'm being tested on it tomorrow, so i want to make sure I'm not mistaking one equation for another.
Between point charges, points within a field, etc, there is kind of a lot of variation of the same equation. So, I don't want to mix any of them up
I've been reading a biography on Newton and how he came to his theory of gravitation. It mentioned that even before he published the Principia, Newton realized that there were discrepancies in Mercury's orbit that he could not account for but they were largely dismissed as observational errors that would eventually be corrected.
Jump ahead a couple hundred years (and many frustrated astronomers) later and relativity figures out what is going on but all I got out of the Wiki article on the matter is a lot of dense astronomy jargon having something to do with the curvature of space-time and Mercury's proximity to the sun. Anyone able to make it more understandable?
I find this to be very interesting in that of all the fields possible to break science out of it's rigid box of thinking turns out to have been a meteorologist. In 1972 he presented his finding of unpredictability in an influential speech he entitled "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set off a Tornado in Texas?"
This is ironic in that it was so close to the origins of climate science and it's obsessions over global warming cum climate change.
The concept is that there are extremely small variables built into equations that unexpectedly continue to increase their influence on the carefully laid out and ostensibly exacting model and ultimately creating unpredictable results.
Yet we're meant to have faith that the patchwork of climate models (not even one whole model) can predict future climate centuries into the future.
Look, there may be some truth to it but anyone who takes it as gospel is a fool.
I'm under the impression that philosophical theories often seem to have a very wide scope and aim very high, at some ultimate and universal truth, but make little/slow progress. What is truth, what is the right logic, are there abstract objects - those are very universal questions, asking how things are in the universe, period. In physics, specific theories merely model specific aspects of reality. Newtonian mechanics works well for macroscopic objects, and that's good enough to be useful. Quantum mechanics and general relativity are difficult to incorporate into one model, but either does a great job at describing one aspect of reality.
Is it thinkable to do something like this in philosophy? Theories that have a narrower scope, aim lower, but might as a result progress faster and still be good enough?
Roshar is overpowered.
That's a fact.
But why? And could they get ever more overpowered with greater scientific understanding and some creative applications of Surgebinding? Today I'm gonna throw out a bunch of theories and some detailed analysis of surge of Gravitation. I mentioned in an earlier post about Surgebinders potentially creating a fusion reactor, but I'm gonna get more creative than that.
Note: been working on this for a while and just saw that someone posted something similar today (16/1) so I may be pinching some of their ideas
Gravitation
This is a brilliant surge, near limitless applications. As we've seen, it's great for combat, both for making aggressive attacks from the sky and, more confusingly, from ceilings and walls, and for defence, be it through removing weapons or trapping enemies on walls or in the sky.
We all know of the Basic Lashing, which is when an object/person has their gravitational bond changed spiritually. The key note with this is changed. This is what I see as a limitation based on the users of the surge.
Now, we also know of the Reverse Lashing, a combination or Gravitation and Adhesion where a new gravitational pull is simulated. This is where the Basic Lashing is used at a higher level with a splash of Full Lashing to keep things stuck. By that I mean that instead of changing gravity, it is created, there is another source of gravity acting upon something. This simple act is where the Basic Lashing levels up, becoming an Advanced Lashing (the term I'll be using here).
But, what about the opposite of a Reverse Lashing? A Push instead of a Pull? Now this technique, if possible, I imagine would be far harder. I actually see it as the combination of Division instead of Adhesion, separation instead of binding.
So, this would mean Gravitation Surgebinders would have the ability to change how an object is affected by gravity and can create another source of gravity for an object. Seems kinda irrelevant, why might that be useful? We've seen a Reverse Lashing kill and we've seen how it can protect, what else is there for creating gravity good for? Simple, it's 2 words;
Nuclear reactions
Now this is where the scientific understanding becomes critical, there's no way they'd be able to create the correct Intent for this. If Rosharans can learn about atoms (or axi as they're called in-world), as well as how the sun and stars work, they should eventually consider ways they can recreate the reactions them

However that would kind of make a large portion of Windrunner and Skybreaker abilities redundant, so that is a major reason Brando might not do this. Consider those pods she flew in in RoW. They wouldn't need a Radiant to just hang around for them to work. That said it would make sense in the magic system. Roshar would effectively become very small and only really be as big burring the weeping. If you use the right shape, terminal velocity with just a few lashings could be well over the speed of sound. This would have to be done in Shadesmar. Thoughts?
I understand that electrons diverge and create new universes. But surely these changes that occur with individual electrons dont result in such vastly different macro worlds? To the point that in one universe Im wearing a clown costume playing water polo because an electron in a laser behaved spun right instead of left.
By mechanics, I mean kinematics and dynamics.
Would it replace, for example, the Navier-Stokes equations for high-speed flows?
We are stuck on a literal and figurative treadmills in an erroneous way ! If you look at the Time Dilation Equation in Relativity and Pendulum Equation in Mechanics you may be able to see what is, I believe , actually the problem . They are both describing Treadmills . Both equations have us on Treadmills going no where fast ( or slow ) . Look at the terms v squared divided by c squared . I call this the Inverted Light Year Term . It is like the wheel on a treadmill with the change in Time running on the belt . In the Pendulum Equation the wheel is the term Length divided by Gravity . I call this the Inverted Length . The Time Period is running on the belt . Both the Inverted Light Year and the Inverted Length describe what I call the Inverted Time . Time Dilation and Pendulum Equations are describing a bound situation where Light and Motion are restricted to a series of closed intervals . So , we have to find a way to either get off the Treadmills , get on the Treadmills or to link them together in order to manipulate Light and/or Motion with Time . I hope you may understand this (?)
Inverted = reciprocal (?)
Inverted Light Year combined with Inverted Length = Inverted Time (?) Inverted Time is a cycle of Velocity and Distance and Time turning around (?)
Possible : Inverted Time = 1/t = A specific moment of Time in the past , present or future (?)

How did they combine? Multiplication? Then shouldn't the LHS be F^2?
or how?
Kindly clear my understanding
As Einstein said a large massive body will create curvature in space as a large ball does on a trampoline. But it does that only because of gravity is pulling it down. Any small ball on the trampoline will go down only because the gravity pulling it down. In deep space none of this will happen.
