I'm not a physicist! Just wondering what it is like on the edge of the universe? how many dimensions will be there, what force will be acted upon a close object, and what relativity will become? I'm assuming the universe is euclidian (eucklidean? euclidean? my English sucks.) not hyperbolic or...

Homework Statement Create a Mealy Edge Detector, then measure the pulse width of 75 micro seconds by 50 MHz clock; here is the timing diagram: I am basically trying to emulate this diagram in my test fixture code (using Xilinx 14.1 in Verilog) and am having errors. Also, the tick is...

Homework Statement A long cylindrical insulating shell has an inner radius of a = 1.37 m and an outer radius of b = 1.60 m. The shell has a constant charge density of 2.70 10−9 C/m3. The picture shows an end-on cross-section of the cylindrical shell. What is the magnitude of the electric...

I was having a discussion with someone far more expert than I and for whom I have a lot of respect. He was telling me that the path loss of a radio signal from A to B is not necessarily the same as it is from B to A. One of the reasons he mentioned is diffraction over a knife edge which in...

So here is the problem I have. There is a box that is 27.5" tall and 41" tall with a mass of 480lbs. One edge is put on a 3.5" tall block while the other is raised 12" and dropped. The question is to see if the block will continue to rotate and fall on it's side. I have been able to find the...

We are often told that to understand why the universe does not have an edge think of it like the Earth which has no edge. But I think this analogy breaks down because you can escape from the Earth's gravity and enter into outer space, plus you can dig into Earth and theoretically come out the...

First off let me state that I'm just a mechanical engineering student, so I'm not too savvy when it comes to quantum physics, but my teacher was talking about this equation in class and it reminded me about infinite wavelengths near the egde of the universe and the event horizon on a black hole...

A uniform rod of length 4x is rotating about the edge O of the table. (The rod does not fall off the table.) The centre of mass G of the rod is distance x away from O. The rod is making an angle θ with the horizontal. The only forces present are the weight W of the rod, the normal reaction N...

I've been mauling some questions about the end/edge of our universe in my head over the last couple hours, and Google is soooo inundated with useless pages. So I figured I'd come here to get some theories. Sorry if I ask any dumb questions or posted this in the wrong thread. To Mod- I will move...

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find any information. Would someone be kind enough to point me to some literature?

Folks, I'm self-taught and am currently trying to get up to date about the newest developments in field-emission microscopy and other methods of imaging sub-atomic structures. I'm able to follow (though just barely) Mikhailovskij et al.'s 2009 paper in Physical Review showing electron orbitals...

I was just thinking. If I would have particle and an interface behind which there is zero proability of this particle being there, what would happened if I tried to push it over this boundary? It will bounce back, spread along this boundary or happily went into oblivion pretending that it...

First post in the Physic forum, the thread title are the words that really get on my nerves. I have the following questions. a) Cosmologists say the universe started at a singularity, there for there is a point where the universe started to expand from, if you could look at the singularity...

Consider a function Q, from some set D in R2 to some set in R3. Suppose Q parametrizes a surface S. Orientation of the edge of the surface must be compatible with orientation of the surface. I read that if the parametrization of the Boundary of the domain D give it anticlockwise direction...

If we are not located at the center of the universe, then when we look out into space are we not sometimes looking towards the center of the universe and at other times towards maybe the edge of the universe. Assume the universe is finite- since we put an age on it, and the fact that it is...

What do you think about the feasibility of adding leading edge slats to a hang glider in order to reduce the stall speed and increase the wing loading. I've seen charts showing nearly a twofold increase in the achievable coefficient of lift because the angle of attack can go so much higher...

My friend was telling me about something he read about involving points on a circle that seemed kind of cool. It went something like this: Have a circle of radius 1, and mark n equally spaced points on the outer perimeter. Choose one of the points, and connect all other points to it...

I am wondering about the size of the universe. I have read that we can only "see" 13.7 billion light years away in all directions and that we are in the center. To my mind this presents a problem. The problem is what are the odds that we are in the center of the universe? Then again even...

Does anyone know how to determine the leading-edge radius of an airfoil using just the x y coordinates.

This article http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-06-big-edge-solar.html" tells about discovery of magnetic bubbles at the edge of solar system. As I understand they are around 100AU from Sun and around the size of 1AU. That makes them roughly 3.6° angular size. Shouldn't these bubbles cause...

Voyager discovers magnetic bubbles or a magnetic foam at the edge of the heliosheath. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/09jun_bigsurprise/ Is this new physics being discovered?

Since we know that Information gets more and more dense the slower time gets, and that if you were to slow time to less and less units of time, than exotic particles will start forming and annihilating each other completely randomly (known as the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle), than I...
