  • Mach’s Principle

    This is called Mach’s principle because Ernst Mach had questioned the validity of associating the rotation to immediate surrounding. Now to visually understand the Mach’s principle Weinberg stood up, in that video, and made a movement which explained how your hands rotate faster or slower. I didn’t understand this well enough so one night I…

  • the curious case of uncertainty principle

    Thursday Bibhäv Paudel hello sir, im a 12th grade student and im having trouble explaining the uncertainity of the velocity as in comes in the uncertainity principle by Heiseinberg , and what about speed of light , uncertainity in the measurement of the velocity of light , does this make sense ??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ there is 1. uncertainty relation between momentum…

    a simple calculation for earth spin projected onto sun-earth orbit plane.

    Here is the earth-around-sun and earth-spin situation: Earth rotates around sun in a tilt of 23.5 degrees and earth rotates around itself with spin S. SO S is 84% along sun’s vertical and 16% along sun’s horizontal;

  • The synchronization of GPS clocks at two positions on earth

    You can do this experiment with your digital watch if your watch is not synchronized by a GPS satelite, if it says 2 seconds either way after you have fixed all other factors you would know that there is something wrong with GPS system, we do not need very precise experiments to claim GPS precision…
