    How Would Universal Responsibility Affect Global Outcomes in 2020?

    For 2020 only, every human on Earth suddenly gets the desire to accept, provide, and support responsibility.What are the pros? Whay are the cons? I go first. You can add anything I may have missed after. Pros: People with normal good goals either achive them or make a lot of progress. Cons...

    Change in Entropy for an isolated system

    ΔU_A + ΔU_B = 0 (Is this because of isolated system am I right?) ΔU_A = CA * (T_final - T_A ) ΔU_B=CB * (T_final-T_B) And because of a very slow process : S=ln(T) T_final= (CA T_A + CB T_B)/(CA + CB) ΔS_final = CA*ln(T_f/TA) + ln(T_f/TB) * CB My QUESTION is : When we say No heat exchange...

    Why does a change of magnetic flux induce an EMF?

    How and why does a changing magnetic flux induce an emf? Why doesn't a static one also produce one? How are the electric and magnetic forces related? Why do you move a wire through a magnetic field so that the wire, the motion, and the magnetic field are all mutually orthogonal in order to...

    How to change pulley direction?

    Hello Guys, Maybe someone can be at my assistance in this one. I have a similar airer as on the attached picture and i would like to change a set up of pulleys and possibly to add some more of them, in a way that I do not want to pull it down by the side wall anymore. Instead, I would prefer...

    I How is the information of a change in position of a star transmitted?

    Gravity is the curvature of space time. Stars move relative to each other. How is the information of this change transmitted through spacetime? I have just finished reading "Reality is not what it seems - The journey to quantum gravity" by Carlo Rovelli. (Can the content of a book be discussed...

    A Can Cosmic Inflation and String Theory change fundamental laws?

    Is there any version of string theory or cosmological inflation that allows the most fundamental laws and constants change between universes? String Theory and Cosmological Inflation are two theories or models that allow multiple universes to exist. Laws and constants of physics could change...

    Velocity change under drag and other forces: small mass, large delta-t

    I am working on simulating the movement of small spherical objects under the influence of drag and a number of other forces that, at least for now, don't depend on the object's velocity. Normally I would sum up all these forces, including drag, to ##F_\Sigma## and update the object's speed...

    Hi, I understand the underlying concept of changing variables in PDEs (so that we can reduce it to a simpler form), however, I am just not completely clear on the mathematics of it so I have a quick question about it. For example, if we have the transmission line equation \frac{\partial...

    A M theory dimension change and large N_c, are they related?

    Reading old text about the limit of large N_c, there are some remarks telling that for finite N we have a colour tube and that it becomes a string in the limit. It sounds as the extra dimension of M-Theory, and I wonder if the math of both calculations are related somehow. Is the transition to...

    What is the change in entropy for a colloid settling out of solution?

    If it occurs spontaneously then it must increase entropy but the possible micro states reduce so what else is occurring to increase entropy

    Why a force perpendicular to the velocity doesn't change the magnitude?

    As I have shown in the picture even if their is minimal change but shouldn't it increase after a long time as minimal changes will keep accumulating.
