My training is in biomedical engineering, and I have been heavily involved in the research and development of novel medical imaging technologies for the bulk of my career. Due…
What is the PF’s policy on Lorentz Ether Theory and Block Universe? Debates about the superiority or “truth” of modern Lorentz Ether Theory (LET) and the Block Universe (BU) concept are outside the scope of PF because: There is little or no debate among professional physicists about these issues (as opposed to e.g. interpretations of…
Often students have difficulty reconciling the General Relativity (GR) view of gravity versus their own experience with gravity on the surface of Earth. This article covers some of the basic concepts and explains how they work with “every day” gravity. Non-inertial Frames and Fictitious Forces Physics is traditionally taught using inertial frames, however, there is…
[CONTENT] What is energy? Energy is a fundamental concept that refers to the capacity of a system to do work. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no specific direction. Energy is a crucial concept in understanding the behavior of the physical world, and it comes in various forms, each with its…
