What is Frames: Definition and 630 Discussions

Dropped Frames is a multi-album project by American musician Mike Shinoda, currently consisting of three volumes. Dropped Frames, Vol. 1 was released on July 10, 2020, with subsequent volumes following on July 31 and September 18 of the same year. The project was composed interactively with fans on Shinoda's Twitch channel. All three albums were distributed via Kenji Kobayashi Productions, Shinoda's own company capitally related to Machine Shop co. With the exception of the opening track of volume 1, "Open Door", tracks on Dropped Frames are primarily instrumental.

    Free Fall and Inertial Frames?

    Let me set the stage for a thought experiment. 1. A physicist in an elevator at some arbitrary height above Earth holding an accelerometer oriented in a direction pointing toward the center of the Earth. 2. No atmospheric drag. Drop the elevator car and make a measurement. The...

    Is Holding an Object Work in Different Frames of Reference?

    If I stand on the surface of the Earth holding an object from my frame of reference I do no work because the object is at rest and the displacement is zero. However from the frame of reference of a second object moving toward the Earth the first object would be moving up and I would be doing...

    Did Einstein have a Physical Interpretation of Frames?

    By a frame I mean four orthogonal vectors for which one is timelike and the others are spacelike. In a bypassing some time ago I read something about the basis vectors in a frame representing sticks and and a clock. However, the author also noted that this interpretation was problematic. I...

    General relativity and accelerated frames

    Hi, I'm going deeper in basics points on general relativity but, instead of swimming directly between the differential geometry, I'm trying to base my knowledge on strong physics bases first. I'm studying both on Wheeler's stuff ( I'm collecting almost all his books ), directly on Einstein's...

    Two Frames of 0-Momentum in the Minkowski Plane?

    Hello to everybody, the question seems trivial in my mind, yet, is it legal to say that there is not unique frame of 0 total momentum in the Minkowski spacetime plane? I am thinking of two non-accelerating equal masses on a horizontal plane, one is moving horizontally, the other...

    Can Gravity Exist in an Inertial Frame?

    I was just wondering what would the definition of the inertial frame be, since as I've understood the description it seems that an inertial frame seems to be 'free' from any external forces, correct me please if I'm wrong. Can something be an inertial frame even if gravity acts upon it? For...

    What is the Effect of a Non-Inertial Frame on Motion?

    Perception and inertial frames

If two events are simultaneous in our frame by deduction from our perception we will realize that they are, and that the causal process...

The ball makes a perfectly elastic collision with the solid, frictionless wall and rebounds at the same angle with respect to the horizontal. The ball is in...

    Rotating frames desynchronization

    I was reading a little about the behavior of non-inertial frames in relativity, since I'm interested in knowing how can we measure time on Earth and the sequence of events here. So as we know Earth is rotating and therefore the clocks on surface that are mutually at rest get desynchronized. Can...

    What causes a collapse - and does it depend on frames of reference?

    I know there are many wavefunction collapse models - but with regards to the Copenhagen interpretation the idea is that a measurement will cause something to collapse into a particular state. What does the term "measurement" refer to? It makes one think of only something that a conscious being...

    Implications of constant speed of light in all inertial frames

I will use a scenario to illustrate my reasoning. After you read this I would like...

    Change in kinetic energy between reference frames

    Inertial reference frames in general relativity
