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.
Hi,
I have a reference device that outputs euler angles, which are angles that relate the sensor body frame to the north east down frame. These angles are called pitch roll and yaw. The sensor is an accelerometer. I know how to get the rotation matrix that will put accelerations from the...
Let's say I'm floating in space in a spaceship, and there are some stars around.
Now I turn on powerful spaceship engines. This causes a huge acceleration, which causes the brightness of some stars to increase a lot. (Those stars that are up in the pseudo gravity well become bright)
Does tidal...
In a previous thread, the OP asked for answers at the "I" (i.e., undergraduate) level to the following question:
S/he received a variety of contradictory answers, and the discussion may have been hindered by attempts to present more sophisticated mathematical ideas as the appropriate level...
According to the postulates of Einstein theory, laws of physics are same in all inertial frame. What about non- inertial frames? Why they can't be same in non-inertial frame?
The conditions on equi-angular tight frames can be found https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~strohmer/papers/2007/equi.pdf on the first page. I created optimal grassmannian frames which are equiangular tight frames. But I need to clarify on condition (4) from the link. For example for a ETF(3,7)...

Consider a frame that is moving with velocity v in the positive x-direction. An observer in this moving frame measures the velocity of the particle in the x- and z-direction, u_x' = 0.9c, u_z'=0

In the usual derivation of time dilation in special relativity, we have two frames of reference, A and B, moving relative to each other with velocity v. In A's frame, a light beam is directed vertically upward toward a mirror and reflected vertically back down. In B's frame, the light follows a...
It's perfectly possible to do physics without using the words "frame" or "frame of reference" at all. The modern view of GR is based not on the idea of "frames", but rather on the idea of manifolds. Take your favorite modern text (Caroll and Wald come to mind), and count the number of times...
Electromagnetic field has a density of energy
U = ε/2*E2+ μ/2* H2
And a density of momentum, given by the Poynting vector
S = E x H
For an element of volume dV you have a four vector of energy and momentum which is
[E,P] = dV * [U, S]
Being E the energy in the element of volume and P the...

Suppose a frame S' is related to S by a boost in the y direction by v. Imagine a wall is at rest in the S' frame along the line y'=-x'. Consider a particle moving in the x'y' plane that strikes the surface and is reflected by the usual law of reflection θ'i=θ'r. Find the...
Hi, I have been studying lorentz force . The book says force experienced by a charge in magnetic field is

I am reading a paper and am stuck on the following snippet.
Given two orthonormal frames of vectors ##(\bf n1,n2,n3)## and ##(\bf n'1,n'2,n'3)## we can form two matrices ##N= (\bf n1,n2,n3)## and ##N' =(\bf n'1,n'2,n'3)##. In the case of a rigid body, where the two frames are related via...
There was a post made here https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/length-contraction-and-the-speed-of-light.818301/page-2#post-5138063 by PAllen that describes a way of measuring length contraction of a moving body as seen in the rest frame.

Hi all,
Say two events happen in the same place according to one observer (1). They are separated in time by 3 years.
According to another observer (2) that is moving relative to the first, the events are separated by 5 years. We can calculate, using the invariance of the spacetime interval...

After the recent discussion here about the Sagnac effect** I wanted to see if there is any frequency shift if light is sent from one point on a rotating worldline to another a small distance away. It looks like this cannot happen because ##\gamma=dt/d\tau## is the same at every point on the...
Hi All
Physics newbie here...
Just a quick question regarding Inertial and Non-Inertial Reference Frames.
From what I understand:
Inertial = One that obeys Newton's Law of Inertia. Moves at constant velocity in one direction
Non-Inertial: One that accelerates.
Right?
So, I read somewhere that...
Hi Folks,
I have some misunderstanding how one can add velocities of different coordinate systems.

I stumbled upon this video:
which seems to claim that past present and future exist at the same time due to the fact that observes in different frames would not agree on the order of events. The video claims that there are frames in which Mozart is alive.

In analysis of frames, we say that "The members of the frames are axially inextensible". In context of frames with vertical legs, what I understand is that the length of the chord joining the member ends in the displaced condition would be same in the axial direction. However, what does it imply...
While trying to understand how each frame of reference predict that the other is slower, I discovered what seems to be something unsymmetric. It looks as if it is possible to determine that a frame of reference is not one truly standing still. But that's impossible right? I'm really interested...
An accelerating charge radiates light. But in its own frame of reference it is stationary. So it does not emit light.
How is this explained?
Extreme Example:
A charge inside an elevator is falling in a gravitational field. The elevator is lined with a light sensitive sensor that triggers a...

I'm reviewing physics after ~30yrs of neglect, starting with Halliday & Resnick (and the internet).

The problem I have is not actually so much a physics problem but more of a logical problem. When we look at rulers and any kind of measuring tools, we start from zero. We count the number of intervals instead of the divisions. Suppose we have a video with 7 frames per...
What is the definition of an inertial frame ? I've read that Inertial frames are reference frames in which Newton's first law applies (i.e.bodies subject to zero net external force moves at constant velocity) , however Newton's 1st law itself is only valid under inertial frames. I find it weird...
