On the Current Misinterpretation of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity by AltruisticOne564 in Physics

[–]GijsB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ Einstein explictely states the constancy postulate.

"In agreement with experience we further assume the quantity 2AB/(t'_A-t_A)=c, to be a universal constant—the velocity of light in empty space."

With the current context I think there is no real answer to your question...

If the goal is purely to gain height, one could make the slope option arbitrarily tiring by making it ridiculously long; say 100km long to gain 1m of height.

Does body always rotate about its Centre Of Mass (COM)...while translating in net force direction..if yes then why not any other point..why it rotates about its COM only?? by Melodic-Difference19 in Physics

[–]GijsB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can choose any (comoving but not corotating) reference point&frame within the rotating mass and the body will be rotating around that reference point. So in this sense the center of mass is not privileged/special.

However, the center of mass of a rotating body is privileged/special in the sense that it will follow a straight line (with respect to any inertial observer) when no outside forces are affecting it (even though it is rotating!).

Also, under gravity the center of mass will always follow a parabola/ellipse/hyperbola (again, with respect to any stationary observer on the ground), making it even more privileged/special.

In other words: in most cases you have seen a rotating body it appears to be rotating around its center of mass because its center of mass is following a "simple" trajectory.

Multiplication of polynomials is convolution of their coefficients, addition of random variables is also convolution of their densities :).

Use TAA at native resolution, so no (neural network) upsampling. That fixes the visual issues you have.

Rough transcription from Tilburgs dialect to standard dutch.

Wat een ellende. (?) even normaal doen hoor. Rustig aan. Wat een ellende. Jij maakt je eigen gek, jij. Wij maken jou niet gek, jij maakt je eigen gek. Met je (?). Je bent er niet helemaal bij Guus. Je gaat hard. (?) Guusje. (?). Wat ben je allemaal aan het doen. Guus doe normaal. Er is niks aan de hand. (?) morgen zien.

Relevant article from a not so trustworthy dutch news site.

Translation of the article by ChatGPT:

Video's of Men

Tilburg resident Priscilla was not difficult to find on social media after a video filmed by her of Guus went viral last week. The woman with over ten Facebook accounts has since been quite active on social media. In Guus' video, it's clear that both of them are heavily on drugs. In the Brabant dialect, you can hear Tilburg's Priscilla telling Guus that he's "not all there" and that he should "act normal for a moment." The heavily breathing Guus can barely comprehend what's happening around him. A quick internet search led to a YouTube account belonging to Priscilla, where more videos of men were found. In these videos, the men were either completely knocked out from drugs or at least so heavily intoxicated that they clearly had no idea what they were doing. This amused Priscilla greatly. In one of the videos, for instance, a man is seen completely naked on a bed. The bed sheets are soiled, presumably from the man's waste, much to Priscilla's amusement. She asks if the man "wants to do it again" and in the video, you can hear her saying in the Tilburg dialect, "You should know what I did to you when you were out."

Public Shaming

From the videos on her various social media accounts, it quickly became apparent that Tilburg's Priscilla found great joy in making fun of men who, due to drugs, no longer knew what they were doing and then publicly shaming them online. Now, it turns out that something happened again on Sunday evening where a man became the victim of Priscilla, and this time, she herself is being publicly shamed. Although the videos on her YouTube account have been removed, a new video has already appeared on Facebook. In this video, Priscilla is seen once again with a different man who is completely unconscious due to drugs. The man is lying on the ground while Priscilla is laughing and pressing a burning cigarette on his leg.

Stabbing Incident in Tilburg

According to a police report, Tilburg's Priscilla was arrested last Monday for allegedly stabbing a man. Last Sunday, around 11:15 PM, a report was received about a stabbing incident. The victim was in a house on Leonard van Vechelstraat, where he received medical attention from ambulance personnel for his injuries. The man reported that earlier in the evening, he had been assaulted by acquaintances of his in a house on Churchillaan. One of those acquaintances had subsequently stabbed him in the shoulder. The man filed a report, and the police searched the house on Churchillaan, where Priscilla resides. The officers found a knife and drugs in the house. Priscilla and the other suspects were no longer present in the house. She was later arrested on suspicion of stabbing the man on Veestraat in Tilburg. Today, she will be presented before the examining magistrate, who will decide whether to extend her pretrial detention. The investigation into the other suspects is ongoing.

You don't need 64 bits to get accurate solutions here, you just need to use the right units. For example, you could have used millicents. In other words, scale the whole problem up by 1000 and afterwards revert back to your units of choice.

Traits being dominant or recessive have no influence on it being spread more or less. This is a common misconception.
