Assuming that everything works correctly, is there any question about what the results will be? Would any surprise whatsoever be fundamentally significant - even "Earth'shaking"?

A friend of mine was at Vandenburg for the launch. I just spoke with her by phone and she gave me a guest's-eye view of the proceedings. She says the briefings and talks earlier were a big part of it. Almost more than watching the actual launch. It was too windy in the high atmosphere for...

Gravity probe launching countdown : For those who haven't heard yet...After almost 40 years ,one of the neatest experiments for testing GR will be finally conducted : http://einstein.stanford.edu/

hello, here is my second message.(and my English is still very bad) I don't understand these 3 little experiments(we need Helmholtz coils and a Hall Effect probe) I know I have to draw a graph for each situation but I can't interpret the difference between the theory and the experiment...

In GPB's experimental conditions, a negligible amount of precession takes place. So in terms of rotational inertia, why does the spin axis of a gyroscopes remain pointing in the same direction? Also, why would changes in space-time cause the axis to change? Thanks

I have figured out what happened to the Mars probe! Click on the attachment photo to find out...

Space probe, planet, and sun... Correcting test again, and I don't know where to start on this problem: A space prob lies along a line between a planet and the sun so that the sun's gravitational pull on the probe balances the planets pull. The distance of the probe from the planet is 1.0...

4 point probe measurement help! I will really appreciate if somebody can help me: I was trying to measure the electrical conductivity of some conductive polymer films using the 4 point probe technique. Altough is widely described and seems easy to arrange, I have been unable to measure my...

Please Help! given a+b=ab=a^b, probe a=b=2 Please help me on this: Given a+b=ab=a^b prove a=b=2 it seems like a very simple task but I have lost my sleep for the past couple of nights over it. please help or ill be

Any one ever use a sound card + software as an oscillscope? I just want to know how i can make a probe to use as an oscillscope probe that can be plugged into the Input of a sound card. Thanks
