| Posted: 09 Jun 2017 06:06 PM PDT My understanding is that relativistic effects are negligible at speeds far, far below that of light (~50 km/s, give or take, in the case of Mercury's orbital speed). Does that rule of thumb apply on to special relativity? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jun 2017 02:54 AM PDT At the time I generally accepted the more bits equals more betterer kind of marketing that these consoles used, but presumably a dreamcast does not outclass a modern home PC in terms of processing power or graphical ability. What did the number of bits mean in a 90's console context and how did it differ to what it means in an average, current, home PC context? [link] [comments]  |

| What determines the speed that a lightning ball travels along power lines? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 02:47 PM PDT There was a video posted today of an electricity ball traveling along power lines in a rain storm. I've heard that electrons actually travel quite slowly through electrical lines. Does the speed of the ball traveling along reflect this? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the limiting factor for the rate of deceleration when landing a plane? Posted: 10 Jun 2017 06:45 AM PDT When flying to another city the other day i got to wondering what the limiting factor is on slowing the plane down after touch-down? Is it limited by the number of g's the average person will accept or is the available force from air brakes, wheel brakes, reverse thrust etc the limit to slowing the aircraft quicker? Or is there some other factor at play like the structural integrity of the airframe/landing gear/runway? If it is all that the airframe can handle, is this by design because the average person won't accept anything higher anyway? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Jun 2017 02:25 PM PDT Perhaps there is possibly a branch of mathematics that examines equations and optimizes them? Or would some aspect of the incompleteness theorem mean that this is impossible? edit: maybe the structure of the neural network equation does not lend itself to being rewritten in a form that more readily leads mathematicians to new insights? As you can tell, I'm not certain about the correct way to word this question, but I'd be happy to (try to) clarify, thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a good source on resonances/ periodic ratios of orbits in our solar system? Posted: 10 Jun 2017 05:07 AM PDT I recently read somewhere (and for the love of it cannot remember where!) that the period of orbits in our solar system can be presented as integer ratios. So that would mean, when you move from one planet to the next one outwards from the sun, you get a rather small integer ratio for the difference between the orbital periods - within a set accuracy. And by small in this case I mean something like 94 : 595. I am looking for a good comprehensive source that shows those ratios - is there any such source that goes:
etc. Thanks for any help or pointers you can give me! [link] [comments]  |
| At what point does our body know we are left handed or right handed? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 05:08 PM PDT I don't have a child of my own, so I've never observed a child "testing out" their handedness. How does this develop? [link] [comments]  |
| Proper explanation on cooper pair? Posted: 10 Jun 2017 03:53 AM PDT Hi. I'm undergraduate majoring material science and studying BCS theory, trying to find not only definition but also various explanation on it. But I couldn't understood how they move. The question is: Q1. How these 'paired' electrons (or quasiparticles) behave without resistance? I guess they have to 'move' anyway, and how they can move without scatter? Q2. What is superconducting gap? I think it have different derivation with energy gap. What happens if electron is below/above superconducting gap? I'm struggling with these concepts for weeks. Please somebody help me with eidetic explanation😂 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2017 03:32 AM PDT So I've been reading up on the J/ψ particle lately, and am failing to understand why it's lifetime is so long outside of its narrow resonance width. I know about the OZI Rule and how hadronic decays of the J/ψ are suppressed for diagrams that can be separated by gluon propagators, making leptonic final states a comparable decay option, however I don't understand what it has to do with the J/ψ lifetime. Suppressed decay modes, have always in my mind, affected the branching ratios but not the lifetime of the particle itself. Naively, it's like saying as the J/ψ travels along, by process of elimination it tries one by one to decay into a certain mode, until it finds one that works. Because hadronic decays are suppressed by the OZI rule, then it simply takes the J/ψ longer until it finds a mode that "works" for it, thus leading to it's long lifetime. Obviously, this picture isn't the case. Someone at the university mentioned to me that the coupling constant of an interaction is proportional to the speed at which the interaction takes place, and since the OZI rule suppresses certain strong decays, then the "weaker" interactions are left thus increasing the lifetime of the J/ψ. However, I have not found any resources online that support this. I guess a question that would also help here is why is the J/ψ's resonance width narrow? [link] [comments]  |

| Does electricity have a color? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 12:38 PM PDT Saw that .gif of a ball of electricity riding powerlines and it is clearly blue, or at least the surrounding area, while other times lightning during storms it can be seem as having a violet hue, Is it just iluminating the predominant color of the environment around the light or does electricity have a particular color they reflect? Edit: Answers provided sent me down a pleasent rabbit hole, a much apprecited one. [link] [comments]  |
