I thought about using the snell’s law because it involves different refractive index but I have no idea why the wavelength would be affected by the snell’s law. I thought that maybe if I found the frequency I might be able to get the wavelength but, I don’t know which formula I should use. I...
"Sir" Knighthood in Cricket.
Do you feel Similar to "Sir" Knighthood in Cricket, there can be conferred "Madam" for Women Cricketers who have excelled?
Other than Robert Hooke, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and John Flamsteed, did the great astronomer, mathematician, physicist, philosopher and theologician, Isaac Newton have any rivals. He is "eminent" for having a great number of opponents, presumably due to his all-round polymathic intellectual...
I just saw this on my personal Twitter feed, as well as the following BBC article. I greatly enjoyed Roger Moore both in old episodes of The Saint, as well as his turn as 007.
My condolences to his friends & family.

Question on SIR Model and using Eulers method for approximating a solution.
Given the 3 ODEs of the SIR model
dS/dt = -\betaSI
dI/dt= -\betaSI - \gammaI
dR/dt = \gammaI
Ive been asked to produce in excel Eulers method for axproximate solutions. Given some initial values for S(0) and I(0) as...
Roger Penrose, of course, needs no introduction.
At 85 he is as productive as ever, publishing papers, giving guest lectures. He also has a new book on the way and a kid currently in primary school.
Here is a somewhat recent interview detailing a few aspects of his life.
Happy birthday to you...

On a personal note, he was very kind and encouraging when I spoke to him about some of my unconventional ideas about physics when I was a student (on the Computing Science course) at Imperial College in the 1970s.
Hi everyone. I'm not sure if anyone from here on PF is familiar with Sir David Mackay, but he was a physicist and mathematician known for his contributions in information theory and machine learning, as well as serving as Chief Scientific Advisor of the Department of Energy and Climate Change in...
I was trying to make a full list of the contributions of Sir Roger Penrose.

I would like to get opinions when calculating Source Impedance Ratio (SIR) on a Power System.

I just read Sir William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence. Reading it, I’ve been left in a quandary. It brings to light some of my own doubts about ourselves. We as a people, no, civilization, no not even that, something more than a civilization, more essential, the building blocks of civilization...

Hi there,
I can remember the quote by sir Alex about football: which is about the performance of a football team. They can be good at one time, but in general they are not good. Their class is low.
Can anyone remmember the quote?

Some vise guy once stated that "a body in uniform motion stays in uniform motion, if no force is acting on it, a body at rest stays at rest if no force is acting on it."
Sure, our universe works this way, I think we all agree on that... but why does it work like this? Does anyone know?

Sir Thomas More's book Utopia, gives me a account of a society that should be. Simple cotlhes, no money, people share. One thing I despise though is that he uses salves.
