MORE IDEAS ON THIS
The Lorentz transformation
- Light always travels at 186,000 mi/sec in all systems, even when they are in relative motion.
- In other words, when the outsider sees the man in the spaceship lighting a cigar, all the actions appear to be slower than normal, w...

A neutron is neutral, so how can it have the opposite charge?
- The rule of the “anti” is not just that it has the opposite charge, it has a certain set of properties, the whole lot of which are opposite.
- The antineutron is distinguished from the neutron in this way: if we bring two neutrons together, they just stay as two neutrons, but if we bri...

“When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it's two hours. That's relativity."

Einstein’s Laws Of Gravitation
- Time and distance rates depend on the place in space you measure them and on the time. This is equivalent to the statement that space-time is curved. From the measured area of a sphere we can define a predicted radius, And the curvature must be the same no matter who is looking at the matt...

Father of Atomic Bomb
E = (M-m)c^2. This equation was used to estimate how much energy would be liberated under fission in the atomic bomb, for example. The mass of the uranium atom was known—it had been measured ahead of time—and the atoms into which it split, iodine, xenon, and so on, all were of known mass. In othe...

SPACE-TIME
- Einstein had a different interpretation of the law of gravitation. According to him, space and time—which must be put together as space-time—are curved near heavy masses.
- And it is the attempt of things to go along “straight l...

“Space is curved and that matter is the source of the curvature.
Matter is also the source of gravitation, so gravity is related to the curvature.”

The twin paradox
- Imagine, Peter and Paul, who are twins, born at the same time. Paul flies away at very high speed. Because Peter, who is left on the ground, sees Paul going so fast, all of Paul’s clocks appear to go slower, his heartbeats go slower, his thoughts go slower, everything goes slower, from Peter...

Antimatter
- Dirac predicted that in addition to electrons there must be another particle, called the positron (discovered at Caltech by Anderson), that is necessarily related to the electron.
- All the properties of these two particles obey certain rules of correspondence: the energies are equal; ...

Symmetry In Physics
- Professor Hermann Weyl has given this definition of symmetry: a thing is symmetrical if one can subject it to a certain operation and it appears exactly the same after the operation.
- If there is a piece of equipment in one place with a certain kind of machinery in it, the same equipm...

"A good idea should be like a girl's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest."
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga.

Sitting a lot is not unnatural
Our ancestors walked about 5 miles a day - or about 10,000 steps. Many people are moving less than they did before the pandemic. If 10,000 steps feel too out of reach, it's OK. It doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you're focused on movement.
In villages in remote parts of the w...
Teach to know
If you can't explain it with simple words, you don't really understand it. So write out everything you know about a subject as if you were teaching it to someone else.
Go beyond the professional jargon and assess if you really understand that complicated terminology.
