    B Do Magnets Emit Harmful Radiation?

    It depends which toys with which magnets :wink:

    B New Paradox Discovered, I Think

    Let's try it like this: You are on the earth and watching in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy. At time t=0, you see (actually see) a departure of the ship from Andromeda as the light when the ship left Andromeda reaches you. The first conclusion should be: ok, I see the ship left Adromeda...

    B Why Do Poached Eggs Stay In The Center?

    So you mean how does the white not separate from the yolk? When poaching the egg? Or how the yolk is trapped in the middle and not flung to the side when water is stirred before hand?

    B Why is My Homemade Cloud Chamber Not Working?

    I had the same problem, until I put much more dry ice and the plate must directly touch the ice (really push on it) as much as possible. Also too much isopropyl alcohol can over saturate the chamber so be careful that the droplets are not too big (more like a really fine mist above the plate)...

    Can a mathematician solve high school physics tasks without physics knowledge?

    Isn't basic Newtonian mechanics and other physics topics taught in most high schools by default?

    I Quantum entanglement in the MWI

    Here is a (pop sci) video, arguing for a Principle of indiference as a possible solution of the derivation of the Born rule in MWI. I know is pop sci but you have a link to a pdf by Taha Dawoodbhoy (that is itself a derivation of the concept from Zurek and Carroll) that explains it in more detail.

    A Is MWI Considered Local in Quantum Mechanics?

    And would conclude (if all other quantum measurements confirm QM and the coin is fair) that MWI is the correct interpretation :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality Ok, we are veering of topic, so I will stop it here.

    A Is MWI Considered Local in Quantum Mechanics?

    Well, there are proponents who conclude that the Born rule arises more naturally in MWI than other interpretations using the Principle of indifference -> see attachment (not a peer review article).

    B A well defined thought experiment

    d = 1000m, tA = 10s, tB = 5s vA = d/tA = 1000m/10s = 100m/s vB = d/tB = 1000m/5s = 200m/s So the distance is the same, the speeds and times measured by Alice and Bob are not. What is bothering you exactly?

    I Can Ultrasound Be Used to Penetrate Through Air and Bone?

    I know that there are studies that show an increase growth rate with ultrasound (although it's usually in the lab setting, so in the real word it remains to be seen if it works the same), but I have not seen research that show pesticide can be effectively replaced with ultrasound. Do you have...

    How is Physics taught without Calculus?

    If I would've needed to learn and use calculus in highschool physics, I would never go study physics. And most of my non technical driven schoolmates would fail the physics class. Does this mean I had more problems in college? Perhaps, but if I remember correctly in half a year it was not a...

    I Making LED bulbs safer: Health and LEDs

    They have multiple LEDs with different colors and adjust the intensity between them with a micro controller.

    I Making LED bulbs safer: Health and LEDs

    I have warm white and normal white LED bulbs. The normal white feels quite natural. Of course we have LED bulbs now for 5 years and I got used to them. The halogen bulb is just too yellow. And in now way do LEDs pose any health concern.
