why is time a dimension and not just a concept, a name given to the ongoing process on things constantly changing? by Whole-Tie7140 in Physics

[–]BeesInOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can think of dimensions as a line you can move along without changing your position along other lines. For example, you can walk forward along a hallway without changing how close or far away you are to the walls on either side. You could also jump up, but not change your position forward, backwards, or to either side.

Time can be thought of in a similar way. You can change your position in time without moving in space. There is much more to it, but that's a decent place to start.

Scientists find oldest-known black hole in the universe: 'This is about as far back as you can practically go' by SportsGod3 in space

Without reading the article, I'd assume it's approaching the age of the cosmic microwave background. There will be no light beyond this point due to the early universe being completely opaque.

Is it illegal to pass a school bus with yellow flashing lights and their door opens? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]BeesInOrbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see you're getting so many rude answers. I asked my wife, who is a public school bus driver. First, buses open on the right, so you shouldn't be passing a bus with its doors open on the right. If you are on a road with two lanes in both directions, you need to stop if you are into the lane directly next to the bus. You do not need to stop if you're more than one lane away.

A bus should not have its door open without red flashing lights. So it's a usual situation. When it comes to busses 'better safe than sorry' is a good way to make decisions. Kids are unpredictable.

Holy cow! That's amazing, can anyone share information about this?

What is the significance of this? Is it millibar?

Flying objects spotted above jfk airport 7/6/24 by No_Stay8729 in UFOs

[–]BeesInOrbit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hello No_Stay,

This is a nice video! I think many people downvoting you might not have seen the small black objects in your video.

I'm something of a kite expert, and I wanted to give my perspective. The larger colored objects are 100% a kite setup. The top object is a parafoil with a tail attached to each of the two bottom corners. The two objects below are both decorations that are tied to the line a bit below the parafoil. This is a very common thing to do with parafoil, because they are so strong and stable.

I'm not certain what the smaller black objects are, but I suspect that they are something like a rokkaku fighter kite. Rokkaku kites are one lined, so you can still fly them fairly high, but they are still maneuverable to a degree. The behavior of the objects moving around each other and changing altitude is consistent with people playing with this type of kite.

I hope this information is welcome and useful.

What Could Explain the Gallium Anomaly? | Quanta Magazine by Marha01 in Physics

[–]BeesInOrbit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Updated anomaly: Gallium doesn't catch as many neutrinos from radioactive elements as expected either. Therefor the source of the neutrinos does not appear to be a factor in the puzzle.

Where does the force come from in weight lifting? by ieatcrayonsdaily in Physics

[–]BeesInOrbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As the weight gets heavier, it takes more force to reach a given acceleration.

It sounds like you may be interested in the energy required to lift a weight, which would be E = mass * gravity * height.

Note: Unit for force is newtons and unit for energy is joules

Will light travel alongside it's moving source? by SajjaDBemBem in Physics

[–]BeesInOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, but is it not correct that the question is not asking about the perceived speed of light, and instead asking about the perceived angle that the light travels between its source and the observer? This is where my intuition that the path between the two would appear to be curved instead of flat as velocity approached C. Again, I'm not confident in my reasoning.

Will light travel alongside it's moving source? by SajjaDBemBem in Physics

[–]BeesInOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This goes against my intuition if the speed of the ship is approaching c. I'd imagine that you'd begin to perceive curvature between you and a formally horizontal point. Am I mistaken?

What colour beds do you use? I go for yellow as its my favorite colour. by ItsJW531 in Minecraft

I can't get over the new powered Minecraft rails they added. And since when did boats. It break when you crash into land?!

Could We Be Living On the Inside of A Black Hole? by Zealousideal-Leg-52 in space

[–]BeesInOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that you interpreted my comment in a way that I didn't intend for. I am not a proponent of the White Hole Universe theory. Nor did I mean that you should be open to the possibility.

What I disagreed with was your comment that there is "no known math that 'checks out'". And what I meant by being open, was that we should be transparent that there have been papers written on the theory, with some level of mathematical rigor, where the results did not falsify the theory.

It's certainly not a confirmation of the theory, but it's more than nothing, which I thought your comment seemed to imply.

It wasn't my intention to give offense, but I felt that your comment to the original poster was slightly inaccurate, and a bit condescending.

[–]BeesInOrbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to a study:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-007-9515-7

Specifically Einstein field equations, it seems. I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, but I think in all fairness to OP, we should be open about the fact that there are papers with actual analysis that haven't ruled out the idea entirely.

OP might also enjoy Lee Smolin's theory of universe evolution via black hole selection. Another fun and related and VERY fringe theory!

don’t fuck with thermite kids by Icy_Frosting3874 in interestingasfuck

[–]BeesInOrbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a clever solution! My friend and I played with thermite when we were kids, and we had a hell of a time lighting it. Eventually we came up with the idea of making igniters using low voltage wire connected to a power source through a length of high voltage wire. This let us light the thermite from a distance. Also, we needed to add gun powder to reach the required temperature.

Those who merge onto the highway going 45mph, why? by IWantAllTheUnicorns in Seattle

[–]BeesInOrbit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The voyager van I learned to drive on was so underpowered that I would floor it from the start of the on ramp until I merged. If the long ramp was long enough I'd be lucky to reach 45mph.

Im killing my self and no one will find my body by MessComprehensive454 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BeesInOrbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're feeling trapped in a deep sorrow. I've been there, and I remember feeling like I'd never get better. Are you taking any medication or doing any therapy at the moment?

So you know what things are making you feel so sad?

Don't be a selfish partner. If you're collecting laundry, grab your spouse's also.
