Frames Definition and 631 Threads

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.

    Electricity and Magnetism: The Surprise Connection

    You have two like charges with the same velocity and a displacement between them perpendicular to the velocity. Moving charges produce a magnetic field. The charges should magnetically attract one another. Now consider the reference frame of the charges. There is no motion so no magnetic...

    Is symetry across inertial frames purely theoretical?

    Hi. If the twin paradox, etc, is not really a paradox because one twin experiences acceleration, then is the idea of recipricol time dilation etc due to symetry across inertial frames purely theoretical? What I mean is that could we ever find two inertial frames moving relatively to each other...

    Time scales in Inertial Frames of Reference

    Hello, I am trying to understand the relationships of the time scales that obtain within different Inertial Frame of Reference. Not when viewing one frame from another, I am quite happy with the Lorentz factor for that. No it is how the local time scale, that measured by a stationary, local...

    Estimating Photon # in 2 Frames: Lorentz Transformation

    Suppose there is some EM wave in the vacuum with frequency and field strength \omega,E In the frame of someone moving along with the light, the frequency and field become: \omega^{\prime} = \alpha \omega\,, E^{\prime} = \alpha E\,, \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}} Suppose both observers...

    Orthogonal angle with respect to all inertial frames?

    Here is a thought experiment that I cannot resolve. Maybe someone smarter than I can do this. Suppose we have a long, thin rod rotating in the counter clockwise direction. The rod rotates around an axis which is connected to one end of the rod. The axis is attached to a second object which...

    Bernoulli's principle / ref frames

    Situation: a car moving quickly down the road with a window open. Car reference frame: the air outside is moving, thus has lower pressure, thus the air inside the car will be sucked out the window. World reference frame: the air in the car is moving, thus has lower pressure, thus the...

    Einstein's Theory: All Frames Equally Important for Time

    Einstein said that all frames are equally important. Now, assume that I (or body A) was moving at a velocity of V. If body B was considered to be stationary and I was traveling away from it at a high speed then my time would slow down. This I understand. But... If body A was the inertial...

    STRACT: Inertial Frames in Special and General Relativity

    How are inertial frames defined in Special and General Relativity? In Newtonian physics, an inertial frame is usually defined as one in which N2 holds. Clearly this cannot be the same definition as for SR. In GR an inertial frame is one in which SR holds (I think). However, there is now a...

    Can objects move faster than the speed of light in certain reference frames?

    Here's a question that's bothered me for a while. Suppose you are a person (P) at point A. You travel between point A and B at some fraction of c (speed of light). And so relativity kicks in. Now, that's the standard relativity model and we talk about P with regard to A and B. Now, what...

    Can the SR Concept of Reference Frames be Applied to Quantum Mechanics?

    Understanding Inertial Frames: How to Determine if You're in One

    How much energy is needed to create 3 protons and an antiproton from 2 protons?

    So, here is the situation: One starts with 2 protons, they collide and one ends up with 3 protons and an antiproton. How much energy will you need to do this? Upon inspection, it seems you will just need 2mc^{2} in kinetic energy to create 2 new proton-massed particles. This is wrong I...
