• (1 vote) Phisics Question!
  

  ok well as a physicist i have never come across this so it might be a myth. But however i can give a physical reason why it might occur. The fact that the earth is gradually slowing would not make as drastic as effect as the one stated i.e. more than 11 seconds in a 3 months time frame. However it could be explained by this
  
  The earths axis has a slight wobble in it, now due to this wobble there would be a slight change in the angle with respect to the virtical. This would effect the angular velocity due to conservation of angular momentum. By how much i am unsure as i havent worked out the calculations. But the effect would happen over a shorter time frame than 100,000 years like that proposed by smoogie. Also it would come back to being faster again rather than continually slowing like that of the above idea. I am unsure of the time frame of these wobbles and their period so the difference might not be the same each year or even at the same times. actually reanalysing there is a seasonal effect that could come back at the same time each year.
  
  water is fluid and the side closest to the sun has more water due to the suns pull this would change the orientation of the mass and so the angualr frequency between the moths… A smaller effect than the above one but works on the same principle. Or tho it has the fact that it is reproducable every year on the time frame in question.
  
  So there you go hope this helps but this is two possible reasons why it might occur.

• (1 vote) Teaching; I need some input on how to motivate the rebellious ,unwilling person, not necessarily a child.
  

  challenges always motivated me, being able to push myself to understand. So teachers that stretched me helped. my sutiuation was kind of different as in my enviroment learning was a good and worth while thing (something to apire to). But i think challenging someone and then letting them feel they have sucseeded and now have grater understand over something that used to be a problem for them encourages and motivates them to sucseed. Alos insentives always work and help them ton get atarted and strive for the end small goals and steps are better than a long taget that takes forever to reach and then hopefully the sucsesses will inspire.

• (1 vote) Is it so wrong to disbelieve in science?
  

  the problem is not you beliving it its understanding it. Just as I would expect anyone who expresses an opinon about anything to have tried to understand it. I would not ever pass judgment on a religion with out first studying it and understanding it.
  
  You do not have to belive any of the scintific theories, in fact its best if you aproach everything with skeptisim. But scince as i said before is a method (like tying your shoes or washing your hair). Unless you try and understand what scince means your posiytion is some what flawed.
  
  Really what your trying to say is you dont belive the scientific theories….. thats fine you can not beilive them all you want. But science itself has no reteric and so can not be belived or not belived in.
  
  YOu personally can think and belive anything you like as that is your choise as a human. But if you have any interest in this area please learn the definintion of science and study what it does mean and what its possition is. Then you will understand what im talking about.

• (1 vote) Nevermore.
  

  I mean it just seems to me people dont understand what science is, as realistically they are opposite.
  
  Science never states it knows anything. The possition of science is that nothing can ever be proved only ever disproved. ITs a contant fluid state of what we think might be happening. This is why they are called theories not truths.
  
  Religion tell us this is the way things occured and this is the truth of the situation. It professes to know the answers which science doesnt.
  
  It just seems weird to me that we group these two opposites together. AS one comes up with a theory and says it is true, whilst the other observes what occurs and tries to explain it with ideas that constantly are checked and updated.

• (1 vote) Anything you would like to ask about science or how things work?
  

  ok Opeth
  
  If the Universe infinitely expands, where does it expand into? Like, what is on the ‘other side’?
  
  ok well first it hasnt been proved yet that it does infinatly expand that is infact one of three options available. and the current best theory to describe the second part is that space expands with the universe. So if you think of a balloon in a box, as you blow up the balloon the box gets bigger to house it. I have done a lot of general relativity in my work and the flat hypersurface of the universe is expanding with it. this is why the CMBR is in all directions and isotropic.
  
  If the Universe started from the Big Bang and the matter continues to expand, where did that matter come from in the first place?
  
  well originally in at the big bang it wasnt matter it was energy, which cooled to form matter as we know it as well as all the other exotic types of matter that account for most of the mass in the universe. What the cause and what was before the big bang is still hotly debated. we can get down to what occured fractions of a milli second after the big bang. But know one knows what happened before as of yet.

• The LHC is switching on Your chance to ask questions.
  

  [quote Sir Ship-Shape]the force between atoms = mass….and to get that force you multiply the energy given off of each particle by how many there are in the atom. Thus giving the atom weight, but leaving the proton massless. It’s not the proton that has mass or gives it mass, it’s the energy it creates, or the force between atoms that gives it mass.yea haha or osmething like that.[/quote]
  
  hmmmm….. ok lol. there are a few principles and things missing that make what your saying harder. first of the proton dosent really give off energy as it would lose enrgy all the time and you cant make energy from nothing. Also the interaction between protons and electrons is electromagnetic like the noth and south of a magnet. The interaction between protons and other protons is electromagnetic too but there is a residual strong element to it….. Ummmmm its great that your thinking about these things, but you need a bigger and more indepth picture of the workings we have found out so far to understand it. I could try and do that now but it might be long and involved and its hard without pictures
