Paper Definition and 1000 Threads

I just got this project for my physics class. I need to build a paper bridge out of only paper and Elmer's glue. The bridge must be free standing with the highest point on the bridge being the roadbed (i was thinking i could do a suspension bridge, but I can't under that guideline). The...

Past paper question - please help, still unresolved! (11/11) Hey guys Im studyin for my physics end of year exam (only first year so its prob easy peasy for you guys) but unfortunately i have no answer key as yet so i don't know if what I am doing is right. I get a plausable answer but i...

USA Military paper about “Psi phenomenon”... Paradigm Shift? Hi everybody, The USA Military has recently (year 2004) approved for public release and distribution a very interesting and controversial research document titled “Teleportation Physics Study.” In this document they talk about...

It's a good paper. She delivered it in June at the Irvine SUSY 06 conference but we didnt get to see it until now. It has a confusing passage on page 2, at the bottom, right before the Feynman diagram on page 3. ===quote=== In contrast to the asymptotic momenta p, the wave-vector k of the...

Hi, by reading the Einstein's original derivation of the E=mc2 formula (http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/www/), Einstein does an approximation by neglecting higher order derivatives before arriving at E=mc2. But, as far as I know, E equals mc2 precisely. Does anyone know why...

Hi all, I am taking modern physics this semester and just received my first writing assignment. The assignment asks me to write a short play centered on a dialogue between Issac Newton and Albert Einstein. These two scientists are to discuss the twin paradaox, with Einstein attempting to...

A http://www.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0609616" claims that a super-Chandrasekhar Ia supernova has been found, and that "Super-Chandrasekhar mass SNe Ia should preferentially occur in a young stellar population." This, obviously, could have implications for cosmology. These "new" supernovae can...

I've spent about 6 horus this weekend trying to construct to build a paper tower that will support thick textbook 14 inches off the ground. the requirement is that it weigh less than 15 g. you can use tape and paper and that's it. Cylinders cannot exceed 5 cm in diameter. Tried making a bunch...

Hey everyone, I need to do a research paper on a recent innovation in Physics. Anyone have any splended ideas? Thanks a bunch! :wink:

Dcase you accidentally put this in the bibliography thread, where we don't have extra room for discussion. Biblio is primarily for links to preprints and abstracts of selected new research---non-string QG. Please make a separate thread to initiate discussion of any of the papers in the...

I noticed this on arxiv today. It is by a legitimate academic researcher and it MAY be reasonable for all I know. I can't judge. She is at the UNC-Chapel Hill department of Physics and Astronomy. But my initial impression is weirdness. I would like to be able to go to sleep tonight confident...

Hi can anyone tell me how to make a paper pop out ? something like the picture here .

OKay this question is so vague. I need opinions on what it could possibly mean. What happens when a person blows between two paper cups that are hung by strings 10 cm apart? Now i am trying to imagine how this would look. Is the string going through both cups like one of those little kid...

This is something I thought I should do if nobody else would by the time I had learned enough to do it: gr-qc/0607068: Title: Dirac Quantization of Parametrized Field Theory Authors: Madhavan Varadarajan Comments: 33 pages Parametrized field theory (PFT) is free field...

I want to read this paper: "Sh. M. Kogan, Sov. Phys. Solid State 5, 2069 1964." However it is too old so I can't find it. Who can find it for me? Can you send it to this email: hjq_seu@hotmail.com. thank you very much!

A thing i have noticed when burning paper on an open fire, the paper has burnt, and left a carbonized sheet, every so often a red hot thin thread travels along it, even on a very hot roaring fire the sheet will stay intact for several minutes, but what are these red hot threads burning.

Let's say I write a paper. It's my first paper after my (unpublished) dissertation and is written in my spare time at home. I don't have any physics peers to show the paper too, apart from those at PF, however I am naturally worried about copyright stuff. It would be great to get it read by...

Louis Crane has contributed a great paper to Dan Oriti's "QG Approaches" book. I started a thread on Crane's paper when it made arxiv in February, but to get a better focus on it I want to start a fresh thread. Around 1 March, Crane corrected an error in the abstract and reposted on arxiv...

Why is that a paper which is freely falling down takes a longer time to approach the ground than a heavier object say a ball which is freely falling?
