A. Zeynel at sci.physics.research asked the following.
"if Einstein came back to Earth he would not recognize his theory and
he would be told to study MTW if he wanted to learn General
Relativity."

Let's suppose we have infinite space and infinite amount of time.
Space is initially filled with randomly distributed matter and
antimatter. Average density of matter might be similar to what we
observe in galactic arms.

is it possible to damage a transformer, transistor, capasitor or
resistor using some form of conduction,convection or radiation device?
the device was off when it was damaged and totally seal ( humidity
or any natural external cause are not a posibility)

The first to accomplish Sonofusion has to be the Pistol shrimp.
In 1874 John W. Keely described and demonstrated the acoustic
dissociation of water.
In 1970, Dr. Andrija Puharich (MD) acidentally made oxyhydrogen gas

In Enistein's train gedanken to illustrate the SR concept of
relativity of simultaniety (RoS) he specified that when the train
observer and the track observer are coincide with each other two
lighting strikes occur at the ends of the train simultaneously for the

The gravitational field of the Earth adds about a million part to clock
slowing, or time dilation.
Generally, this is accepted as some Newtonian view of time, that is
deformed by the presence of the gravitation of nearby mass, in this

Is there a talk.physics newsgroup? My NNTP server does not list
one, though I would think a moderated physics newsgroup woulod
already exist. I have an interest in physics, and trying to pick
the non-kook articles out of the much, much larger kook articles

The so-called 'counterintuitive' is a severely problematic
feature in modern physics. It can be used, merely on the
prompting of some mathematical formula, without the
application of any other principle that might control and

If two perfectly spherical balls have the same diameter and surface
smoothness, but are of different weights, when they are dropped they
will have the same air resistance as they fall.  If such balls are
dropped from an identical height, and both subsequently impact the

Hi! Could someone please tell me what is the lowest detectable
frequency of electromagnetic radiation?

According to Einstein's theories of relativity, mass and energy are
equivalent. So when you add energy, you also add mass, and vice versa.
This would imply that a spring compressed is slightly heavier than one
not compressed, for example (although too small to measure).

Energy tries to describe events that didn't take place jet.
When the event does take place the energy goes some place else.
If I have 2 marbles and 1 hole the size of 1 marble one could argue
the marbles both have gravitational potential energy.
