“the greatest scientist of all time is undoubtedly Sir Isaac Newton” Newton routinely explained natural phenomena with supernatural causes, like God. In fact he overruled his mathematics with his supernatural explanations. A well-known exam

Is the main subject here addition or sets?

No, it was a serious question. Does anything that rotates create a magnetic field even if it is not an electrical material?

Why does the earth have a magnetic field?

"“Before we run out of operations, we will rotate it to replicate lunar gravity on the payload portion..." As far as I can tell, this is the only reference to how they will create artificial gravity. Do you know any other sources

I like the animation of the orbits. Earth and Mars (and even the satellite) look on circular but eccentric orbits.

Your comment is helpful, thanks. I also discussed this with chatgpt and he said similar things: “Strassler’s term "indivisible waves" seems to be his unique phrasing to make these ideas more intuitive for a lay audience. Physicist

I copied the quote you couldn’t find from his figure 8: “Figure 8: There’s no perfect intuition for quantum physics. But it’s not helpful to imagine photons and electrons as particles (top right), meaning a “tiny speck”. Nor is it helpful t

But he is not talking about wave particle duality. He explicitly states that it is not helpful "to imagine them as both wave and particle." He calls waves with very small amplitude "particles" (for historical reasons). S

"In a quantum world such as ours, the field’s waves are made from indivisible tiny waves, which for historical reasons we call “particles.” Despite their name, these objects aren’t little dots; see Fig. 8." Does anyone know when p

"For the subtleties of different meanings of “mass”, see chapters 5-8 of my book.]" Isn't this called "equivocation" in logic?
