How fast can I really ride - physics

[smoky]

Now tell me, what is the relative decrease in your tyres' contact patches - due to the centripetal force - depending upon whether you ride at equator or one of the poles.

Purely speaking we could calculate that using gravitational constant, denoted G, is an empirical physical constant, calculating the gravitational attraction between objects with a given mass (m1 and m2), being inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them, then divide by the effective gravitational decline per distance from the pole – it could be done as a theoretical exercise

If you could measure the global distributions of meso-scale variances and refraction index “dry temperature” at different altitudes and continents, and the variances can obtained for each individual tyre type, compound and profile, from the manufacturers – we may be able to prove that calculation. Of course that’s predicated on the fact the tyre has been dry compressed filled from a clean air source with no greater than a 5% atmospheric discrepancy and a humidity factor of less than 30
Measuring humidity inside a tyre does present a small obstacle.
Then calculate that relative to the effect of weather on the weight of air to figure out what the pressure differential is between the internal tyer (Ipsi) and the external air pressure (Epsi) is at given speeds
That’s with out taking the fluxuating nature of gravity into consideration.

Could be an interesting thing to try

I am still unconvinced about the ever expanding universe and the conclusions science has drawn from unproven hypothetical suppositions.

This isn't hypothetical. The expansion - and indeed acceleration - of the universe has been known for many years.

Where the debate in astrophysics lies is whether all of the forces in the universe add up to 1. If more than 1 = infinite expansion. Less than 1 = collapse and rebirth. Right now the numbers are slightly on the continued expansion side but we don't yet understand gravity, dark matter, or dark energy.

I liken the reality we live in to a constrained illusion created by the expansion of 4 dimensions, 4 of a possible 11. What science can see - what is in the heavens, is just a reflection of a far greater reality - we see thru a glass dimly


Some ideas around 'string theory', and the latest scientific research and conjecture (the theory of everything), are the closest we have come to even understanding our reality.....

String theory allows for up to 26 dimensions at quantum level so its not exactly intuitive. Support for string (or brane) theory ebbs and flows and it isn't the only idea out there to explain quantum fields.

As for the GUT = Grand Unified Theory - it will be discovered but if guys like Stephen Hawkings struggle with it, well........

I think you should just go for a ride and enjoy the cosmos wherever you happen to be.

huh?????
isint the world square?

yes its a big borg cube...


ummmmm 42

well picked up - my mistake, just shows how important pair review is

There were two of them?

Known? what is the acceptable level of knowing that becomes truth
It is still hypothetical - yes it is generally agreed..... but you cannot say for certain. It is mostly predicated on math and observation, both may well be flawed by the limitations of our limited dimensional understanding, or the granularity in which we inhabit

String theory allows for up to 26 dimensions at quantum level so its not exactly intuitive. Support for string (or brane) theory ebbs and flows and it isn't the only idea out there to explain quantum fields.

THE ONLY IDEA OUT THERE? thats a very narrow view. The existence of parallel or interconnected dimensions was believed by cultures as far back as 500AD (probably even earlier). the teaching of some Kabbulah prophets thru their study of numerology have talked of the possibility of 11 dimensions or levels.
The bible even refers to a believe in dimensional space, and 7 more levels of existence beyond our habitat; when trying to describe the realm of heaven and it's omnipotence

Science is only just starting to catch up - in my humble opinion (which as you point out is worthless and a waste of time)

As for the GUT = Grand Unified Theory - it will be discovered but if guys like Stephen Hawkings struggle with it, well........

So we should accept the fact we are just dumb, that scientist are right, and we should just stick to riding our bikes?
You may have a valid point

Mate - that stuff you are smoking is pretty good - I'll pm my address..... Red-shifts, lenticular clouds, gravitational bending of light - none of this is hypothetical. Hasn't been since Einstein correctly predicted the precession of Mercury.

THE ONLY IDEA OUT THERE? that's a very narrow view.....

I think you misread my post. Not quite sure how we've jumped from calculating your speed relative to the universe to multiverses but what the heck. Personally it gives me a headache but quantum synchronocity says alternative universes are possible.

So we should accept the fact we are just dumb, that scientist are right, and we should just stick to riding our bikes?

We sure as heck aren't dumb, but those intuitive leaps which individuals such as Einstein, Newton, Heisenburg etc have are very rare events. And as Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Damn I wish I could get the bike out.

some people have WAY WAY too much time on thier hands

Okay, all that math stuff is kind of interesting.

But, could someone explain the inner workings of a woman's mind?
