Physics

The world of forces, particles and high-powered experiments.

  1. Not sure if this makes sense, but I’ll just have a go at explaining it. Just bear with me. So out of curiousity: since all solids are compiled of clusters of atoms, then hypothetically speaking, will there always be empty gaps in any solid structure that would allow a hypothetical “string” of empty space to pass through it?

  2. Radon doesn’t form many compounds. I think it will bond with fluorine but not much else that we know of. Radium will bond with nitrogen to make Ra3N2. Radium decays into radon, so what happens when the radium attached to nitrogen does that? I assume extra energy is released from breaking the bonds with the nitrogen, as radon can’t bond that way?

  3. Is there any sense in the question "Can one clock measure another (less accurate) clock?" Does the latter clock become simply a set or series of events when it becomes thus the "measured " ?

  4. I'll be honest, I don't know much about this. I know most of you reading this probably think this is a weird/dumb question. What I've read so far is that Electromagnetic vibrations travel strongly through the vacum of space, yet Water acts like a damper. Vibrations in water are considered Mechanical vibrations. What I want to know is there any way scientifically to enhance the strength of Electromagnetic waves in water. Even if there's an odd theoretical scenario where this is possible. Any help would be appreciated.

  6. So, I'm aware it's not possible to go faster than the speed of light, and that as something nears the speed of light it's mass increases, time slows down and bla bla bla. What I'm interested in knowing is, if something went faster the speed of light, how many laws of physics would it break, and if that happens (theorising time now boiis!) what do you think would happen? Would the thing go back in time, or would space-time warp around that object and create a wormhole or something even stranger. Even if you don't want to answer the 2nd part of the question, please answer the 1st part. Thx in advance.

    I dont mean the dictionary definition. I mean, well, it seems sometimes that the word information is used in a very special sense in physics. Does it have a special meaning or is my perception off?

    So I'm new to this but I'm curious as to times correlation to Quantum Computers, if qubits ect. Can be both ect. Wouldn't quantum computers defy time and be the key to predict the future to an extent through algorithms and Ai ? In other words with the vast knowledge that AI has gathered including Facebooks algorithms and data of social trends and human predictability in groups such as in psychology like a flock of birds, couldn't quantum computing and Ai with an outside influence such as propaganda steer human events or history? Like I said I'm 22 not so smart but if you understand what I'm asking and can give me your best explanation and answer I would be greatful. …

  11. I ask this as a teacher, not a student... if you have three sets of parallel plates... one of +2a and +a electric potentials, one of of +a and -a electric potentials, and another of +a and 0 which has the higher potential energy? I assume it's +a and -a as it relates to potential difference, I just want to make sure.

  12. When you want, you can say electromagnetic waves are the fifth aggregat state. It must possible that you can compress it or think anyone other? The solution is ready for it. When you have a hollow ball that reflects waves to hundred percent, then must be the waves thicker and thicker or not? Naturally you must send more and more waves in it. At an example you put the ball on a libra and maessure the weight.

    This is school related, but I ask it as a teacher, not a student. https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/8c6ee5510ba3c7d6664775c0e76b53e72468303a The above is considered the standard form of the Universal Law Of Gravitation. However, if someone gave the following... https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/ebf0689fbd05781a129e2df24ef5bd8b7edf2f93 ...except without the function notation or r-hat notation, would this count as merely derived from the Universal Law of Gravitation, or as a form of it in and of itself?

  14. Can it be that the radiation pressure is similar with sound barrier? How can you calculate it? My main question is, when we let out the thing with the mass away, is it the radiation pressure that stops you? When this is correct, the solution can be that you made an engine that redirect the radiation over the spaceship. I have an idea for it. Or what is when you made an engine that redirects the air pressure? I think it cant be the mass... Does it stop when the pressure is at its maximum?

    I have learned that a vacuum is a space without matter. In this room, the cathode ray moves forward without distraction. Does the beam really move completely forward, or is the beam still distracted by something else (for example, gravity)? Thanks for your answers

    I read that one can distract alpha particles and beta particles, but no gamma rays. I also know that gamma rays are electromagnetic waves (not alpha and beta rays). I do not yet understand why gamma rays can be distracted. Is it because you cannot divert electromagnetic radiation, or is there a different reason? Thanks for your answers

    So according to this video, flying perpendicular to a magnetic field, including a constant magnetic field at constant velocity, induces emf. Assuming it's right... 1. Would the resulting electric field (in volts per metre) be concentrated in the wingtips, concentrated at the center, or constant from the left tip to the right tip? 2. Would the airplane essentially be functioning as a capacitor as a result? If an airplane were flying through a stronger magnetic field (let's say several teslas) would this in turn cause it to form lightning with surrounding clouds? If it were between two clouds, would it attract electrons in one, repel them in another,…

    As solar radiation crosses a single glass window, its warming of the room is kept as the heat has 'difficulty' in exiting again trough the glass towards the exterior. In a dual pane window, after passing the external glass, there is little sun radiation to further cross the internal glass pane, warming the window. Does it mean that a room with two glass pane window will allow less solar penetration to warm a room than a single glass window ? (but will insulate better against internally generated heating system losses ? )
