Phi for All Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I only want to be understood. ! Moderator Note It's been mentioned that your habit of breaking up your sentences so often with additional lines is difficult to follow. If the above is true, perhaps you could use normal paragraphs, which are much easier to follow and requires less scrolling. Do you want people to read, or do you want them to scroll? You're losing valuable attention which is one of your most important assets here. And seriously, why can't you tell us what's wrong instead of just claiming it's wrong? So far you're just waving your hands. It's one big Argument from Incredulity, and not very rational.
Strange Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 If you want to know, you go to the original texts & read them like Einstein said (=recommended), instead of professing what everybody does NOT know! It is not necessary to read Einstein's own writings (Personally, I think his writings on relativity are not particularly clear and there are many better explanations out there. And the maths is there same in all cases, which is what really matters.) Perfect? Hmm, with that math? I have my doubts. You haven't explained why you have doubts so I don't know what to do about that. I assume it is because you you have misunderstood something. If you could explain where your doubts come from, then maybe people can help clear them up. Yes your website does not allow me to update, correct modify & improve my past posts, There is an "Edit" button at the bottom of every post which allows you to do just that. So, for example, you could reformat that sentence properly: Yes your website does not allow me to update, correct modify & improve my past posts, as my texting & programming get familiar (to me) & improve.
Capiert Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) .. Mass is resistance to inertia. (What?!=) That "stuns" me to read, the 1st time. As I said, I have not read the principia (or how it's called). (My latin is not very good.) I use the word inert, intuitively (not according to your modern formula definitions)* trying to figure how nature works. I do not limit myself to your vocabulary & perspective. I'm concerned with how other people see it too, e.g. naturally, without an education. I don't know your vocabulary (exactly, if at all). But I'm just trying to figure out things (the way nature is, & mechanics?). * Perhaps that is where we differ. I'm just trying to explain things (my way) for me, simply (if possible) in my own words, to complete my picture. You know things, that I don't from my perspective. & I don't know what they are all called (in yours), to explain it. E.g. Perhaps my so called "inertial" discusion is only about "vectors"? (Maybe that's why a new word for speed was invented, velocity? e.g. To isolate that as a mixture of 2 or 3, 90 degree angled, parts.) Straight line "speeds" ("distances", per time). (Euclids? Arrows?) How should I call it? (motion of (virtual) points?) To explain it in normal words. Ewert (1996) commented (in words) on the (terrible) problem of mass (~weight) & inertia could never be the same, in physics. It was outrageous for him [too?]. I was curious what was meant, because I didn't follow back then. What did Newton say? What is meant now? I only know his 3 laws & my intuitive conclusions. Can you help there? (I hope I've said it right, to get the message across. ?) I'm searching to follow my intuitions (=to identify things, (you or) I already have); not reject them (like you often advize. That is (=would be) unnaturally disgusting(=ugly) brute force against nature, for me. Not a harmonic (harmony) synthesis. Simple common sense is what I want, not frustrated comprimises.) Ref The statement you made that inertia is resistance to motion makes absolutely no sense. Ether theories have been proved to be incorrect. How do you mean "proved"? The rest of your post is too garbled to decipherWhich points? Maybe they are typos, I haven't noticed, or I've used the wrong word, or sentence structure. P.S. Is there any way to improve past posts, that do not allow edit anymore? Edited May 20, 2016 by Capiert
Mordred Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) In physics, mass is a property of a physical body. It is generally a measure of an object's resistance to change its state of motion when a force is applied. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass Inertia The tendency of a body to resist acceleration.

Inertia: tendency of a body (=mass) to resist acceleration. What is the difference? What is state? Unless you mean, the 1st applies pressure P=F/A & the 2nd does not? Push, pull.

Mordred Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Think of it this way inertia the the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. So when you stated Inertial, is resistance to motion (an oversimplified explaination). . This statement is incorrect. As a body in motion (inertia) will stay in motion in a straight line until acted upon by a force. Any change in direction or momentum (inertia) is a change in acceleration.

A body does not change speed on their own. Conservation of momentum (mom=m*v. Newton's 1st law). Something (e.g. pressure) must "cause" it to accelerate (=effect). Thus, constant speed. +mom2=+F*t Impulse changes speed. Adding momentum changes speed. (Newton's 2nd law). Pushing a body (with pressure P=F/A) for a duration (time t) increases its speed. mom1+mom2=mom3 (v=v1) (m=m1) v1+v2=v3 m=m1=m3 m2=0 (very interesting, mom2 is massless, =has no mass). Mom1 (1st law) is a conservation of mass law (inductively) & mom2 (2nd law) is a defile(ment) against constant speed. 0=(mom1+mom2)-mom3 (3rd law), opposite momentum is needed, to maintain mass (?) mom1=mom3-mom2 REaction=REpulsion (EM=electromagnetic). Action=mom2 (acceleration, a=F/m). Is that correct so? (I'm still not sure how to twist mom3 (for Newton's 3rd), to interpret it, & need some time Please.)

Even if this were true, why should anyone believe what you say? At least a professor has credibility and deserves the benefit of doubt. You're just spewing unsupported nonsense.For example, you say thisut give no actual supporting evidence that it's true. There's no science to discuss, or rebut.Einstein gets into orbits. Your schools teach obits as ellipses, & that an ellipse is a cone cut.But that's wrong. A cylinder cut produces an ellipse. A cone cut produces an egg. An egg has 1 focii (sun), not 2 (Kepler's ellipse). Your physicist's often wrongly leave out the initial speed v0 in kinetic energy KE=m*((v^2)+v0), v=v1-v0 speed difference, m=mass, v1=final speed. KE#m*(v^2) not equal KE~m*(v^2) approximation. D'Arsenval meters have linear scales. They are used to measure currect & voltage linearly. Their movement is loaded with a spring, that's Hooke's law of force. Any linear display is compensating against force. (Equivalence. Linear=Force; not linear then not force.) But meters use power. Thus electric power is force_squared P=Fi*Fv & has wrong units. But power is the rate of doing work. Lifting mass, a height per second. That doesn't agree with the electrical definition (units). You also have dark energy, for things you can not explain. Constant means something does not change. Never. General relativity discovers light's speed changes (it's not a 100% constant). It's not always constant. SR was based on that c is constant. Theory died! Hit the dust. Undependable. & sentence wording says nothing about that, hiding SR behind GR.

Caution: program errors (mixed up, some hash) C=Exact-approximation C=Error calculus=approximation+C calculus=approximation+Error Can anyone define C for me? (Formula, to get numbers). What is in C? Nothing cannot be (the answer). Everything else is assumption (approximation), not exact science. Error*oo=large number! Noticeable. oo=infinity. =N.

Strange Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 C=Exact-approximation C=Error calculus=approximation+C calculus=approximation+Error I have no idea what you are talking about.
Capiert Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I have no idea what you are talking about.Calculus is an aproximation going to limits.Calculus answer=approximation+C An approximation is not the exact answer (by definition). Thus constant C is added on. Without C Calculus gives (instead of is, sorry) an approximation e.g. integrate. Answer=integral of function+C. Nobody uses C, its always left out. Instead, the approximation is used Answer~integral of function. But Answer#integral of function. The integral of the function is NOT the (real) exact answer. The difference between exact answer & the approximation is error. Error=Exact answer-approximate answer. Is that clear now? Edited May 20, 2016 by Capiert
ajb Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Calculus is an aproximation going to limits. Calculus answer=approximation+C An approximation is not the exact answer (by definition). This is not the right way to view calculus. It is true that calculus uses limits, but the point is that we have a mathematically well defined notion of i) the rate of change of a function with respect to some variable at a specified value of that variable (ie an instantaneous change) ii) the area under the graph of a function between two specified values of the variable (This can be generalised to multivariable) These two notions agree with what we expect from examples that do not requite calculus, say the area under a straight line. In this sense the C you give is zero, by definition. Unless you mean the C that is the constant of integration. This just reflects that you can differentiate different functions and get the same result... specifically if they differ only by a constant.
Capiert Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) This is not the right way to view calculus. But it is the correct view to (cross_examine) interogate (=question, test) calculus (for leaks).(It is a view that you do not contend (=believe) could ever have any importance or significance, especialy if C is not known completely). & so you ignore C pushing it into a closet (locked up) to keep the room tidy. It is true that calculus uses limits, but the point is that we have a mathematically well defined notion of 1=i) the rate of change of a function with respect to some variable at a specified value of that variable (ie an instantaneous change) 2=ii) the area under the graph of a function between two specified values of the variable. (This can be generalised to multivariable (=general formula?.) These two notions (=ideas) agree with what we expect from examples that do not require* calculus, the area under a straight line. (*not "requite", as you typed. Even you have difficulty with this website editing. It is so squirrelly trying to edit with it. It does not always obey! For me it's terrible torture on_line! Nerve racking. I need more than 3x the time to correct it. A single post can cost me half a day's time, ~4hrs plus.. . Your programmers are not aware of the tablet problems. It ruins people!) In this sense the C you give (Cd) is zero, by (via algebra of the) definition. Unless you mean the C that is the constant of integration (Ci). (There are 2 different constants (if they are), & to be thorough (rigorous).)This just reflects (=indicates) that you can differentiate different functions and get the same result specifically if they differ only by a constantor function.2 exist. A straight line is a nice (=pretty, easy) example. It has no problems, obvious. Things look (very) different when dealing with curves. (Pandora's box is opened up, so to speak.) E.g. It's Non_linear, X with exponents more or less than 1. E.g. (X^n, n#1, n=2,3,..). Non_Euclidian (=curved, not straight). It it has many problems & generally is too complicated for most people. But to keep that simple let's concentrate (only) on circular geometry, because it is so regular, consistent. It has the same system built into it, because it uses whole numbers (intergers) in the exponent (instead of fractions or irrational numbers). It also uses Pi. There we can get a glimpse of what is happening, with those (integer test samples). Calculus is used all the time to calculate area and volume, & it confuses me, that it is perfect, for circular geometry. (But the devil is in the detail. Maybe a common trait cancels out?) The nth Dimension formula (© 2003 PS) is [math](1/2*n) * (Pi*D^n)[/math] D=2*r diameter Pi=3.14 r=radius n=dimension number 1, 2, 3. If there is a 4th dimension, that formula will help describe it. (But I doubt there is 1.) Time is not a dimension, it is a scalar, it is a parameter, because Dimensions have direction & amount; but time only goes forward (not backwards, too) determined by it's amount. (Otherwise we could make time machines, other than clocks. Nobody has done that to prove it. Particle physics theory, are guesses of what could be (my opinion). (I have never seen the hands of time go in the opposite direction, except when I turn my wrist watch upside down, & other clocks so. Have you?) The formula is split into 2 terms. Using only the right term, we get n= 1 circumference 2 sphere's_area 3 8*Pi*(r^3). Using both terms, we get n= 1 semi_circle 2 circle's_area 3 sphere's_volume. Compared dimensionally, though, the single term represents the next dimension. E.g. n=2 is for a "sphere's" area. A sphere is a 3D object, not 2D; but its area is considered 2D. Maybe that is the error? I.e. Expressed in cataloging where everything is found. A bit of chaos. A circumference is a 2D shape, but is created with dimension n=1 (using only the 2nd term). As I've said (=meant), calculus is a little bit squirrelly (in my opinion), not completely logical. Using D(iameter) instead of only r(adius) allows more overview, & insight.

All those familiar formulas, of circular geometry that were developed (derived) with calculus. There is a natural system within, & the key to calculus. The catch is those are calculus results. That's a calculus summary then. There are various ways of making calculus more formal and rigorous. For example with integtation Riemann formalised basic integrationI am sorry. I do not know it.
