Physics is My Specialty


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.

That might work as evidence... if you brought back a magician or an alchemist, they'd have to accept that it was true.

Scientists are the same where I'm from... I didn't believe that magic was really real until I saw people using it.

Yes, scientists are naturally stubborn. I think it's a part of the species.

Not saying I'm stubborn- but it will take a lot for me to believe something until I witness it.

There's magic? Really? And magic was the stuff of stories back on my world.

Yes, sir. I don't understand how it works, in fact by the rules of my world it shouldn't, but it does!

Quite strange...

So, on your world, magic is like that unexplainable phenomenon that plays an integral part of your science, am I correct?
greennotgold: (Huh...)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-22 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, everything in science can be explained. If something looks like magic, what it really is is just something we can't explain yet.

There are people even in my world who think of alchemy as being like magic, though. I guess the definition is different for everyone.

Not quite though, since in my world, there are still stuff that has yet to be explained.

Like the presence of dark matter for example, or how large the universe is.

Even some people would call that magic, I think, if they haven't even heard of dark matter before.

I can't remember if I've heard of that, I've read so many books since I came here... I'll have to go look it up again.

Just because something can't be explained yet doesn't mean it's mystical. But there are people here who can do things that they call magic. There might be some explanation for it... but if even the people doing it call it magic, I think that's the only thing we can call it for now.

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if magic does exist in other worlds, I can't deny it. Although there might be something utterly scientific behind it, I don't think that many people will readily accept that.

After all, it's amazing how fascinated we are with the things we can't explain...
