Physics is My Specialty

[needsaconstant]

Since I don't have my journal, I'll just have to make do. I'm sorry if the stuff I record here doesn't make any sense to you, but it does to me.
I don't want to start forgetting again...

F = 96 485.339 9(24) C/mol
F=Avogadro's number times the elementary change of an electron (e)
Avagadro's number= 6.022x10 to the 23rd power mols to the negative one power
e= 1.602x10 to the negative 19th power C

m=(Q/F)(M/z)
m is the mass of the substance altered at an electrode
Q is the total electric charge passed through the substance
F = 96 485 C mol^-1 is the Faraday constant
M is the molar mass of the substance
z is the valence number of ions of the substance (electrons transferred per ion)

Using Eddington-Finkelstein Coordinates (V, R) removes (?) the singularity at R=2m As R gets smaller - Light Cones tip over.

Oh, and by the way...could I stay somewhere with any of you? I don't really like walking around these streets, if you know what I mean.

I don't know some of those names, but the formulas still look like physics. Are you a scientist of some sort, as well?

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm a physicist. I've spent most of my entire adult life studying space and time.

Are you a scientist, too?

she understands more about physics than I ever will |D;

[illusiondamage.livejournal.com]

That's a little bit over my head, but I studied the concepts in school.

Yes. My concentration was bio-genetic engineering.

Same goes for me and Dan here >>

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Huh. So they actually have physics in your world too?

I had a couple coworkers in Oxford- it's a college- who dealt with genetics.

I have some understanding of biology, but my interest was mostly geared towards physics.

What is a "mol" and a "light cone"?

I've read about singularities. Don't those exist only in black holes?

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

A "mol" stand for mole, which is a unit of a substance. Kinda like liters and quarts, which measure the amount of something.

The light cone is a light cone, though it is used to prove time travel in a general relativity in a certain experiment.

Yes, singularities do exist only in black holes, but it can be proven that they exist in the space-time continuim as well.

[It's several minutes before Fletcher responds to this comment.]

Oh! Light cones are mentioned in this book here. It's the hypothetical cone formed by all the information that can reach and be reached by a particular point in space-time, right? What does it mean to say that they "tip over"?

So then is m=(Q/F)(M/z) an equation describing a singularity?

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

You have books? Where did you get them?

Well, physically, the tipping of the light cones is an indication that timelike observers traveling across the horizon cannot escape back out beyond the horizon. In general relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime, an area surrounding a black hole, inside which events cannot affect an outside observer.

And the m=(Q/F)(M/z)is the basic summarization of Faraday's (no relation) laws of electrolysis.

[greennotgold]

[Several more minutes pass, because he needs to look all this stuff up.]

Here in the library. It's at 5th Ave and 40th St near Bryant Park.

Oh, I see! That's a good way to visualize it...

Electrolysis? Oh, I need to go look that up...

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Wow. Okay, I think I should head over there then. I want to look up some stuff too.

I just wonder; where did you learn this? Because even most of the people I know have no idea what I'm talking about most of the time.

[greennotgold]

Well, I lived here in the library with my brother for a while. I didn't have a lot to do most of the time besides reading, and I've always been interested in science, so...

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

And you've learned all of that by reading? You have a bright mind, young fellow.

I didn't understand those concepts until years of practice and hard studying.

By the way, the name's Daniel Faraday. I'm sorry if I didn't introduce myself before...I was rather caught up in the discussion of science.

I wish I knew science for her to spazz out over with him

[fuzzynightmare.livejournal.com]

Oh! Science! I love science!

I always liked making diagrams, but they don't ever get the whole kit n' kaboodle in there, but then equations never seem like the easiest way to talk about geometric entities either, you know?


Has anyone told you about Team Science yet?

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Well, I like science too.

Yes, that's exactly what I think too! Science should be discussed as well as drawn! It's a harmonious conjunction between the written word and the spoken word.

No, no one has told me about this Team Science. What is it?

[dontcallmeangus.livejournal.com]

Looks like that's my cue! Thanks, Willow.

Anyways, we're a group o' folks who specialize in various disciplines of science and try to make life here a little better for everyone. We've got a virologist, an archaeologist, computer science people...don't rightly have a dedicated physicist, but I'm pretty handy with that, chemistry, and engineering.

Name's MacGyver. Nice to meet'cha!

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Hello, MacGyver. The name's Daniel Faraday.

This Team Science sounds rather interesting- it sounds like a group I was part of back in my world.

How do you join this Team Science, by any chance?

[fuzzynightmare.livejournal.com]

It's the best!

Right? Right! Things go so much better when they are meshy! Like, peanut butter and jello.

Oh, well, Mac already got it, but uhm... I think you can just join by turning up if people get together! Maybe Mac knows.

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

*sounds interested* And you understand all of this?

Why are my physics formulas more interesting to you than a normal conversation? Or are you talking about the things I talked to people about?

[Voice]

[ineedaconstant.livejournal.com]

Ah! Fletcher and Russell!

They seem to be particularly bright boys. I haven't had such a enlightening conversation in a long time...

It's rather interesting to find out what type of worlds share the common concepts of science. What was your world like, miss?

The year twenty-thirty-two!!?

Wow. That's...just amazing.

So, is this world your world, or something similar to it?

It seems almost like there are many different versions of Earth...

Yes, it's true that there could be infinite universes. There is the popular theory that there are "alternate universes" that develop differently due to some change in an event...

It's like this; If you somehow were able to go back in time and kill Hitler before his reign of terror, a new alternate universe would result from that. There would be one universe where Hitler would remain alive, but another would be created based on that event, where Hitler would be dead.

The Tringham boys, for example, have a world where magic and science coexist, and yet, in my world, magic is just referred to as the stuff of fairytales. Something must have happened that introduced magic to create these seperate universes, I think...
