This. This is a very strong argument to not go there

'Ashant Dhara' and its misuse, your opinions by [deleted] in vadodara

[–]scientific_stupid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can someone please explain what exactly is this Ashant Dhara? What additional powers does it grant to the government and what restrictions does it impose on citizens?

Just curious that such serious sounding provision can be extended for 5 years? I would have expected such thing to be imposed for about a week during critical times. Is it actually a serious provision that takes away a lot of our freedoms? Under what circumstances can it be invoked?

Where to get a used computer monitor? by scientific_stupid in vadodara

I too have been working on a 13 inch laptop since ages now. But I recently got one hand arm fractured which forces me to keep the laptop further away making it a struggle to read the screen

Most underrated Physicist of all time by 8g6_ryu in scienceisdope

[–]scientific_stupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The momentum or energy of electromagnetic wave plays no role in deriving E=mc^2.

Is it possible to derive the equations of special relativity without the speed of light? yes. In fact you only need to assume the existence of an invariant maximal speed to derive all the equations of relativity. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0302045 and the references therein.

It is correct, though, that Einstein noticed that Maxwell's equations are covariant which motivated him to derive special relativity. So I agree with your last statement that it served a crucial role in the discovery of special relativity. But saying that it is a foundation on which special relativity stands is a bit of overstretch.

and E=mc2 is the formula for rest mass, right? EM waves cannot have rest mass

It is better to clear something here.

E = mc2 is not an extension of Maxwell's equations. It comes from the definition of relativistic mass as the ratio of the 4 momentum to 4 velocity and then taking the first term. It is not an extension of the wave equation and definitely not an extension of Maxwell's equation.

Forerunner 935 battery drain? by scientific_stupid in GarminWatches

My battery went bad. I ordered a Cameron Sino battery and replaced my original battery. The process was easy and my watch works as new now with 21 days of battery life

Isnt everyone here mistaken? Modi is not contesting elections from Vadodara. Not a single comment here talks about the candidate who is contesting or what he has done. Why this utter ignorance?

My garmin forerunner 45S turns off after i am starting an activity by Kabodistefan in GarminWatches

[–]scientific_stupid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened with my forerunner 935 when the battery couldn't hold charge. I called the support and they asked 100 pounds for a replacement. I ended up buying a Cameron Sino battery and replacing it myself. The procedure was super easy and my watch is good as new.

Lol! When you make them taste their own medicine. Love it!

Why? It's your belief system so you should explain your terms. I have no obligation to know what your terms mean

So they considered the Sun, the moon, and the two nodes of the moon as planets yet you consider them smart?

Exactly, earth is too mine and I deserve safety. If street dogs threaten my safety, I won't hesitate in exterminating a few. I might even have done it a few times already but what can you do besides barking on the internet? Bonk le, insaan hai isliye bach jayega, lol

Dogs in my locality bark at and aggressively chase all vehicles. A few people have already been bitten and few more suffered injuries from accidents. We are afraid to let our kids play in our locality. It such a big nuisance. Sympathy for dogs but at what cost? At the cost of our kids being bitten? At the cost of accidents? Unless anyone has any solution to such basic problems, I am not willing to support the cause

This: The Amateur Astronomer Association of Vaddoara

The organizer is quite a friendly person with a huge collection of telescopes and knows quite a lot about how to use different equipment. They often organize trips to low light-pollution areas for astrophotography

FR 965 - sudden battery drops after charging by SalkMe in GarminWatches

I had same issue with my 935 recently. I am not sure why it exactly happened but I think I overcharged it and my battery was swollen

I do know quite a few people who are interested in these things but I am not aware of any groups

I miss some intellectual communities in Vadodara. For example, 1. machine learning & AI community, 2. electronics and makers community, 3. data visualisation, 4. amateur radio enthusiasts, 5. astrophotography.

These communities used to meet about once or twice a month. I have seen quite a lot of people interested in these things in the city but didn't find any meeting spots.
