Capacitor Lab

Note: This is for me and anyone else that needs remote physics lab data. My goal is to keep this as simple as possible. What is a capacitor? The very basic idea of a capacitor can be two parallel c…

Milky Way's warp caused by galactic collision, Gaia suggests

Astronomers have pondered for years why our galaxy, the Milky Way, is warped. Data from ESA's star-mapping satellite Gaia suggest the distortion might be caused by an ongoing collision with another,...

This Q arises when discussing what would happen to an object at rest if gravity suddenly turned off. Stored elastic energy would launch it up. It also would move in a straight line instead of following Earth's rotation, moving up relative to Earth. youtu.be/ZFKA8kyN4SY

Why is this making a comeback? Here is my broom gravity post from 2012. wired.com/2012/03/balancing-… No, gravity doesn't make the broom stand up. Yes, you can do it anytime.
