161) Derive Like Crazy

English
Description
Since high school, I have been rebellious to how physics derivations are presented with difficult and confusing mathematical tools. I am not used to deriving physics laws using the same mathematical tools that our forefathers of physics used (the same found in various physics text books), which I find not only confusing to me but to the entire scientific community who are categorized as the "Silent Majority". I try so much to tackle the problem from...

Current scientific knowledge is frequently presented with a bias indicating science and religion are contradictory. This relatively recent phenomenon is despite widespread belief in a creator God being part of the history of humankind. With the incredible modern-era scientific advances, humans now seem determined to chase after and trust in material existence, simultaneously relegating God to an irrelevant status in relation to science. The Model...

"The history of Mars is drawn not just on its surface, but also down into its broken bedrock and up into its frigid air. Most of all, it stretches back into deep time, where the trackways of the past have been obliterated and there is no discernible trace of where they started from or how they travelled, only where they ended up. From the planet's formation 4.5 billion years ago, through eras that featured cataclysmic meteor strikes, explosive volcanoes...

If you've always suspected the universe was out to get you… you were right!
Yes, the universe we live in is cosmically beautiful and mysterious and all that crap. But it's also a bit of an asshole. After all, remember that you are just a group of atoms structured in a specific way for barely long enough to try to understand this thing we call existence. Those atoms could just have easily been used to make the dog shit you're cleaning off your...

Quel nouveau paradigme nous permettrait d'adopter une nouvelle approche de l'univers et de la physique?
Et si une petite imprécision expérimentale était à l'origine d'une erreur conceptuelle dans la relativité restreinte ? Erreur qui pourrait constituer une entrave à la résolution de problèmes en physique et cosmologie.
Derrière ce qui semble être un détail qui ne colle pas à la théorie, une broutille que personne n'avait remarquée...

In this final volume of my "As Above, So Below" series we journey into the Cosmos to observe galactic & stellar activities. We explore the energy that surrounds our earth in space along with alternative scientific theories seeking evidence of electrical activity from universal & galactic scales down to the structure of the atom. Did our Source create the world in 7 days or was that only long enough to establish a blue print? Did the work of creation...

It was September 12, 1962, when Pres. John F. Kennedy delivered a speech at Rice University before nearly 50,000 people. By that time, America had launched but four men into space--the suborbital flights of Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom and the nearly identical three-orbit journeys of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. Buoyed by the success of those missions and cognizant of the danger that lay ahead, the president rearticulated his vision and reissued...

Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) was carved from the environs of Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, at the height of the Cold War with the former Soviet Union. Originally, the area was a center for cotton production and large mills, but on the eve of World War II, civic leaders sought a US Army initiative that established Redstone and Huntsville Arsenals for the manufacture and stockpile of small solid-fuel rockets and chemical weapons. After...

The flight of Gemini 4 in June 1965 was conducted barely four years after the first Americans flew in space. It was a bold step by NASA to accomplish the first American spacewalk and to extend the U.S. flight duration record to four days. This would be double the experience gained from the six Mercury missions combined.
This daring mission was the first to be directed from the new Mission Control at the Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston, Texas....
