If Object 2 has double the weight, why does it have double the acceleration? If you are suggesting that this is resulted from gravitational acceleration, gravitational acceleration is the same for both objects, assuming that you are doing both experiments at the same location on Earth, probably in a vacuum. Weight takes no part in your equations... So the '2x' acceleration has to come from somewhere. Why can't I say Object 3 has the same weight as Object 1 and has double the acceleration instead?!

I mean the initial urge, the instant moment after you realised someone slapped you but yeah I see that a person would still evaluate his or her surroundings before making a decision. Though I can't see why a "humble" person would allow you to slap him again. Are there cases of this happening?

Take this anology: If I slap you, would you have the initial urge to inflict pain to me?

Can the human notion of "pride" be defined as the "recognization of the ability to live"? The human need for continuity of existence of self, country, race, etc seem to be predominant in our daily decisions.

But the reason why light is curved is because spacetime is curved so that light speed is constant....to light, there is no curve, to us, there is...

Basically they make the ship to occupy as much volume as possible, while still the same mass. The density of both air and ship can be calculated by the density equation, just get their total mass and total volume. According to density equation: density= mass/volume. Density is inversely proportional to the volume. The total mass of the ship and the air is approximately near the mass of the ship, but the volume that a ship-sized piece of metal occupies (because it is hollow) is more than a same piece of metal that is not hollow. Thus, the overall density is decreased....Anyone has got numbers?

Right, I get your point. It is a hypothesis not a theory.The link he directed me to kind of says that so I need to keep improving my hypothesis and that the list of axioms I list will increase in an attempt to explain more examples of human decisions. Resistance is futile?!

Can the theory be feasible?

Humans typically brand themselves as illogical and so is their decisions, but I have a theory that could well explain our thinking process, and (perhaps) enable a breakthrough in the creation of human-like computer programmes. Okay,I'll try to skim it down to the basic rules of the algorithm: 1.The human decision-making algorithm is based on aninput-process-output basis. 2.Input includes present-time data from the environment and storedmemories. Output is the decision. 3.The algorithm is divided into four parts, the first is primary,following second and third is auxillary, fourth is special. 4.First, survival. This is divided into Need to Live (Maintaining continuity) and Pride (Respect for the ability to live). They arefurther divided into "Self", "Other", and"Human". 5.Next, material. This part controls the value of each category. 6.The value of self pride is always in a equilibrium. When there is aheightening in self pride, Material will adjust to lower the pridewith the same degree. Think of it as a straight line; when there isheightening (someone praises you) a wave is formed. After the peak,the wave will proceed downwards to return to its original line, andvice versa for lowering of pride. 7.Emotional is next. It directs Material to the required categories bysingling out the ones that are needed to process a decision. 8.Last is Emotions. Emotions heighten or lower pride based on theircategories: Positive (Anger, Joy, Proud), and Negative (Frustation,Grief, Regret). Positive heightens; Negtive lowers. 9.All values are determined in numbers. A higher numeric value means higher importance. There is something wrong with it but I can't pin down what it is. Based on this theory, I predict a person is hesitant about a decision is because the values that the "Material" provides is the same and that invoking an emotion can cause the person to make an decision unhesitantly because emotions affect the value of the "category".

Quadratic forms are expressions of space?

So when people speak of light, they don't mean speed of photons, but the speed of propagation of light? This clears up a lot! Thanks, swansont.

I thought the "speed of light being slowed down"-thing is because of the delay in between the absorption of light photons and their release by the particles, and the the speed of light in between transfer is still c, only the total speed is a little smaller....

We can do the same by determining the eccentricity of the conic using the conventional method...but the matrix method conveys it much easily

Yes I did. Sorry I missed out an element. So basically it can be used to represent various conics...but I see that the normal way is much simpler and less fussier. I actually done a differentiation operation of it by expanding it but I don't think it has much use anyway.

Sorry. It should be matrices. So it doesn't, collectively, have a name? I can see that it represents the equation of a curve.

Does the matrix[latex]\left[ \begin{array}{cc} x&y \end{array} \right][/latex][latex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc} a&b&c\\d&e&f\\k&m&n \end{array} \right][/latex][latex]\left[ \begin{array}{c} x\\y\\1 \end{array} \right][/latex] has a name? I believe it opens to become [latex]{a{x^2}+e{y^2}+(b+d){xy}+(k+c){x}+(f+m){y}+n}[/latex]

Thanks.

So the momentum of both light streams will not affect one another? In what cases would the light streams not pass through each other?

If two light streams of different strength (in terms of photons per second, same wavelength) meet diagonally, will the smaller light stream be absorbed into the larger light stream? Will their directions change?

Yeah, i'm trying to ask why...because a book I read told me that and it didn't explain why. Would the following perception be correct? An empty space and time field is before you. To maintain the speed of light as a constant, the field stays in tension. When you introduces a significantly large piece of mass/energy, the field is affect. The speed of light is still relative to space and time, and space warps to balance the shift and transfers more motion through space into motion through time.

How does mass and energy warp space and time?

If electrons have wave and particle like properties, wouldn't it be a form of energy? electric, perhaps? But it has mass, why?? Does light have mass?

If I heat an atom, would the entire atom self-vibrate or only the electron cloud would vibrate on it's own, indirectly causing the nucleus to move in accordance of the third law of motion??

If electrons exist as standing waves in an atom, how: 1)is the region of probability denity stay fixed? 2)does the electron not crash into the nucleus? 3)does the overall energy of the atom stay fixed? 4)Newtonian physics fail in explaining atomic mechanics?
