  • Did Newton know Quantum Mechanics?

    My insight of the day. Quantum Mechanics makes Newton’s Law consistent in its two forms. Otherwise they would be inconsistent. So Newton knew some QMech. He knew 1. F=ma=mdv/dt and 2. F=dp/dt. These two are consistent in a framework where wave-particles are central. Because F=ma corresponds to particles and F=dp/dt corresponds to waves. I will…

  • Equivalence from simple notions of Geometry ? Yes.

    Now it may also be related that light bends in a denser media compared to a rarer media because an additional rotational force is working. In other words, the definition of straight line has to change in the medium, that is of different density, because path of light is changing. Light is the guy who…

  • A Question a Day (series) Q3

    The equation v = a*del_t is sometimes used to find velocity when acceleration and time are known. Another form of this equation is v = v_0 + a*del_t. In this second form of the equation, the function of the term v_0 is to: A. indicate that the equation is valid only for an object that…
