On our trip to Thorpe Park we experienced the thrills of the rides and were given a talk explaining the science behind them. This will hopefully explain more about the science behind the rides. Firstly the physics behind the rides. The acceleration is what makes rollercoasters so fun and enjoyable and I’ll now explain why they accelerate so quickly. The purpose of the coaster’s initial ascent is to build up its potential energy. As the coaster gets higher in the air‚ gravity can pull it down a

There is a parlor game physics students play: Who was the greater genius? Galileo or Kepler? (Galileo) Maxwell or Bohr? (Maxwell‚ but it’s closer than you might think). Hawking or Heisenberg? (A no-brainer‚ whatever the best-seller lists might say. It’s Heisenberg). But there are two figures who are simply off the charts. Isaac Newton is one. The other is Albert Einstein. If pressed‚ physicists give Newton pride of place‚ but it is a photo finish -- and no one else is in the race. Newton’s claim

Who is Kip Stephen Thorne? Kip Thorne was born on June 1‚ 1940 in Logan‚ Utah (age 77). He was an American theoretical physicist and was known for how much information he carried around about physics. He got married to Linda Jean Peterson in 1960 and had two children. He then got a divorce in 1977. He got remarried to Carolee Joyce Winstein in 1984. Kip Thorne got his education in the California Institute of Technology and in Princeton University. The field he majored in was Astrophysics. He excelled

or with increases in temporal or spatial separation between the percipient and the target to be described. Modern physics describes such a time and space independent connection between percipient and target as nonlocal. In this paper we present a geometrical model of space-time‚ which has already been extensively studied in the technical literature of mathematics and physics. This eight-dimensional metric is known as “complex Minkowski space” and has been shown to be consistent with our present

general theory of relativity‚Albert Einstein grew up in a middle-class Jewish family in Munich. As a child‚ Einstein became fascinated by music ‚mathematics and science.He was one of the two pillars of modern physics. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory. Near the beginning of his career‚ Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics

Exploring the virtual reality conjecture Brian Whitworth Introduction Computers today simulate entire worlds‚ with their own time‚ space and objects‚ but that our world could be so is normally a topic of science fiction‚ not physics. Yet that the world is illusory has a long history. In Buddhism‚ the world expresses the Universal Mind‚ in Hinduism it is Maya‚ the illusion of "God’s play”‚ and to Plato it was just shadows flickering on a wall1. That the world is digital is also not new‚ as to
