Do laws of physics apply below the event horizon? It appears as if black holes had such gravity as to have an escapr velocity higher than c, which means that things are pulled inwards at higher speeds than the speed of light. Or am I overlooking something?

So it seems there is predilection in physics to go after simple and elegant models of physical reality. That is, parsimonious models are preferred. Sometimes this means that there is a trade off between mathematical elegance and intuition. For example, if theory A and theory B both perfectly...

Not saying that there is another universe. But if there were, would the laws be the same? I've heard Leonard Susskind explain that extraneous solutions of string theory could represent the environment in regions very far "away". So is it just small things like the physical constants being...

Suppose we have a body of finite size which can be translated, rotated, compressed and stretched. We have every information about the body. We have its dimensions and everything. We have its mass and density. But, since I'm here talking about a completely generalized version, so we have variable...

I've lately began working with Newtons laws problems at school again, and I've already ran into a few problems. When making calculations and solving problems, it is often nessecary to understand when forces are equal to zero, and when they are not. Since every force has an equal and opposite...

I'm an attorney trying to invalidate a patent that I believe is directed to patent-ineligible subject matter. It's been an interesting exercise, and I'd love to hear other ideas/suggestions/etc. on how to approach it. At a high level, the patent claims certain structures with a certain...

Consider a 4 current J^\mu and a metric g then conservation laws will require \del_\mu J^\mu = 0 my lecturer gave me a brief problem and I think I'm missing some understanding of it he writes What I'm not understanding is, where he states, if we choose B to be the time slice between etc...

Hello, So, I'm posting this question here because I can't think of a better place, and also here there are people from all over the globe. The thing is, I'm doing some research on Delivery of Goods and Laws related in Brazil. But, to have some base, I want to make some comparisons with laws...

Hi. In the (mainstream) books of electrodynamics I know, the electric and magnetic fields are introduced as force fields normalized to a charged test particle of 1 C. This makes those fields appear as an unnecessary, but convenient mathematical tool. They cannot be measured in the absence of...

Here's a thought from other thread A reply So what's the relation between gravity and the laws of thermodynamic, or should it be conservation of energy?

Reading the English translation of Einstein's seminal paper on GR. http://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/90?ajax This paragraph below on p78 doesn't make much sense to me. Could you provide a second English translation or even adding math notation. "Before Maxwell, the laws...

Hello everyone! I want to proof that: ##p \land (p \to q) \Rightarrow q## I know this is a quite trivial problem using truth tables, however, I want to do it without it. As I'm learning this myself, is this the correct approach? ##p \land (p \to q)## ##\iff p\land (\neg p \lor q)## ##\iff (p...

I've been noticing that there are exceptions to every scientific law. For Example, with Newton's First and Second Laws are totally invalid at the quantum level, but I'm failing to find such an example for Newton's Third Law. Is anyone able to help me?

9/1/2016 Orbital mechanics Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This reference states: "General relativity is a more exact theory than Newton's laws for calculating orbits, and is sometimes necessary for greater accuracy or in highgravity situations (such as orbits close to the Sun)". Can GR...

So, I'm reading a physics book, and it talks about Newton's three laws, of course, but then after that it says that if a force of f pushes on an object at angle Θ, then the force in the x direction is f ⋅ cos(Θ), and the force in the y direction is f ⋅ sin(Θ). Where did THAT come from? Do we...

Dear All Gravitinos, It seems that the current string theory and loop gravity's explanation for the micro-states of black holes are all quantum mechanical and have no classic correspondence. I, in this day's arxiv, post a pure classic interpretation for this question, titled "Black...

Whose observations did Kepler use to prove that planets do in fact orbit in ellipses ?? Was it Tycho's observations? Thanks.

Within the context of Newton's laws, it seems implicitly understood that mass is an additive property of objects. My question is: should this be considered "just" an experimentally confirmed fact, or is is provable from Newton's laws? The following is a more precise context for this question...

Hello all, I have perused this forum for a while now. I've never signed up because I have nothing to offer you folks. I'm not evan an amateur, I'm just interested in physics. I'm a critical care / flight medic, so my understanding of physics is really, really, really limited. Although, I'm...

Hi, I'm a frehshman in High school writing a paper about Isaac Newton. One of my paragraphs is about the laws of motion. I came across a tidbit of information - there are instances in which Newton's laws are not correct. One example I found was that, at speeds approaching that of light, an...

I find difficulties in identify the forces acting behind the acceleration of objects that are considered consequence of conservation principles (for istance of KE and angular momentum). I'll make an example to explain. The same string-mass system is linked to a rod. In case (a) a force pull the...

Must an initial state always be mapped onto exactly one final state and vice versa? Consider a slope that is shaped like a curvy "w". Releasing a ball from either end will result in the same final state where the ball is stationary at the highest point in the middle. So does it mean that...

I think this may have been done before. So people are aware of the geometry of reflection. If I go beyond, I try to say that if light can pump electrons, it is absorbed, if it merely polarizes, it gives rise to an alternating dipole supposed to be polarizing the region around in all directions...
