Solar eclipse today

Solar eclipse today

Only partial in the UK, but there will be totality over a sizeable chunk of North America. For boring geometrical reasons, most Americans have never seen a total eclipse. Members across the Pond, get your cameras out... starts at around 11:40 EST. If you're anywhere near the line between Charleston SC and Portland OR...

Problem with General Relativity

Problem with General Relativity

One of the thought experiments that led to GR was Einstein imagining a sealed box in which he could feel the sensation of weight but had no information about what was happening outside the box. He posited that there would be no way to tell whether his weight was due to gravity or due to the box being accelerated.

"Global Warming"?

"Global Warming"?

You know what the middle-class Greenpeace crusader types all have in common? They live in cities. So I wouldn''t expect them to give this the time of day:

A hundred years ago, the number of cities with a million plus people was... one.

Now it's about five hundred. Half the world's population lives in cities. All...

Strings and Photons

Strings and Photons

Both of them are supposed to represent infinitesimal quantities of energy. All matter is supposed to be composed of these 'strings' of energy - thus conforming to Enstein's famous equation E = mc2. Photons are also infinitesimal quantities of energy and of zero mass.

So what is the largest of these two...

Konnichi Wa to All:

I have pulled out my tapes of the Cosmos Series of Astology Programs made back in the late 1970s by the late Carl Sagan.

A lot of my personal philosophies and theologies is based on the teachings of Carl Sagan in the Cosmos Series. As far as I am concerned, in order to understand a great many...

The Coriolis effect

The Coriolis effect

As a young boy, I used to notice that when I pulled the plug out of the bath or sink, the water did not go directly down the plughole.

It swirled around, and at one point there was even an 'eye', where there was no water at all, and you could see directly down into the plughole.

I later learned that this was due...

Why is this forum called Science & Astronomy.

Why is this forum called Science & Astronomy.

Astronomy IS a science.

Just science would have been fine, if you really needed to specifically mention Astronomy, I suppose you could call it Science Including Astrology.
