What is Theory of Relativity?
I have read so many complicated description of whats theory of relativity that I tend to think such complicacy serves two purposes; Misleading: it takes us away from the real concepts. Complicated: It does not make the concepts easy at all to grasp. Ineffective: It ill-prepares even very good students — as their precious time is wasted and…

3 aspects of Relativity of Einstein that are probably Newtonian.
You may read the linked article — Time Dilation, before or after reading the current one. It’s a beauty of physics that not only the most successful laws of physics viz quantum mechanics and theory of relativity are super-set of the canonical laws of physics which is classical mechanics and over-binding on the latter but they…

Change Relativity? Is neutrino tailgating photon?
Is causality also relative, if that is so, son you hit a golden pot in physics, “that’s your causality man, that’s your problem. I don’t have a f** with that.” But you travel backwards in time. “Nay that’s how you see it, you speed blinded moron, I don’t give a damn about what you think…

What to do with OPERA-II event by event neutrino information?
I was thinking, as an experimentalist, what OPERA (experimental collaboration) should now do, since they have 20 event by event neutrinos — gift just one of that to the world. That neutrino should have the complete information one needs to compare with a photon. eg the total satellite motion — its path for about a…

Haversine formula and Vincenty formula, millimeter accuracy for earth distances
I propose Haversine formula for exposition of material reg. distances on earth. Vincenty’s formula calculates distances to millimeter order. Bowring and Lambert’s formula are easier than Vincenty’s but do not have good accuracy especially if distances on earth are quite large. You should know spherical earth formula, all the other formula mentioned here are oblate-sphere…
