Talk:Mount Charleston

message: According to the [ USGS GNIS entry], this mountain is officially called Charleston Peak. Peakbagger.com also uses this name. RedWolf 22:35, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)
:I can believe it, rename would be sensible. Local usage of "Mount Charleston" is invariably ambiguous as to whether the town, massif, or summit proper is meant - for instance as in "hiking up at Mount Charleston". :-) One of these days I'll get the right conditions for a photo...

message: Mount Charleston does not have a parent peak. Mount Elbert is in Colorado. If you actually click on the parent peak link or read the reference, it does not make sense. Mount Charleston is the highest peak in the Spring Mountains. And how could a mountain in Nevada be a subpeak of a mountain in Colorado? It should be obvious the parent peak info is wrong!

thread_title:  Move Baron Hastings 

message: I've downloaded and started reading this book, which is a detailed account of the restoration of the Huntingdon Earldom after it fell dormant for 30 years.  Essentially, when the 10th Earl died, the title went dormant until the man who was confirmed as the 12th Earl, a distant relative, came forward with a comprehensive and persuasive proof that he was the leigimate claimant.
The book is meticulous in detail, but somewhat tedious in part, as it consists of long recitations of the documentation required to prove that all the other potential claimants were deceased.  I was surprised to find that we don't even have an entry on the 12th Earl.
I'm interested in input as to what other sources I might look for in writing that entry from scratch.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

message: It's possible to create effects like this, with hand, face, or objects, on a flat-bed scanner. Scan your hand, and as the lit scanner-bar moves downward, move your hand occasionally. You get the same effect, explained by the scanner taking a series of 1-d slices of the picture at a time.
This is not in itself a useful technique, but I was reminded of this when I read the article. As an experiment for the reader to try, it might help get the point across.

Talk:Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology

message: I'd like to dispute the new name of this article. The English translation of Tekniska Högskolans Studentkår is in fact The Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology and nothing else, as (perhaps implicitly) decided by the Student Union Board. The original name of the university is, in this matter, irrelevant in my opinion.
If no one disagrees with me I will change the title back again in a week or so.
I'm also a bit unsure of the meaning of the second sentence "While the school carries the epithet of being a royal institution, the students' union is a separate entity and specifically disallowed such practice".
What practice are we talking about here exactly?
--Albin
:The practice: 1. only (central) governmental bodies, or 2. private bodies having officially received royal sanction. Although 1. has largely fell out of practice, this is why KTH has its name. 2 corresponds to the Royal Academies. Thus the frequent use of the arachaic-sounding misspelling "Konglig" in student circles, to circumvene this. But all this should not affect the translation of THS into English.

Talk:Disjunction drive

message: For a May 2005 deletion debate over this page see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Disjunction drive
----
To me, this part sounds completly stupid:
"By the time the field reaches the plate, the magnet could even have been destroyed. Does the plate still experience a force? If so, it no longer has an object to impart an opposite force against."
The proposed gedanken-experiment basically mandates the use of relativistic theory. In this theory, however, the magnet and the plate _never_ interact directly (or, at least, saying that they do isn't really usefull). Each interacts with the magnetic field. So the plate _always_ has an object to "impart an opposite force against" as it imparts it on the magnetic field.
This would basically mean that the given example is nonsensical. (The question it askes "Does the plate still experience a force?" sounds like a paradox, when in fact it isn't: there is only one, well-defined, correct answer -- unless one commits deliberate error when answering it.) However, maybe others can defend it, so I won't delete it for now.
(in fact, I think the description at http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/D/disjunction_drive.html sounds much more sensible) -- Abel Daniel
As far as I can see, this is not very different from turning a light bulb on for a short period of time and running a solar sail off the resulting light beam when the bulb is no longer turned on. The electromagnet creates a field by emitting photons, which interfere in such a way as to give the macroscopic effect of a magnetic field. The photons are emitted in such a way that the field initially has no intrinsic momentum. The plate absorbs some of these photons, and in so doing gains momentum - macroscopically, the magnetic field acts upon the metal so as to produce a net force. The end result is a plate which has net momentum, and an expanding electromagnetic pulse which has total momentum equal and opposite to the momentum of the plate. In short, if you only consider local interactions with the field, and do away with all concept of action at a distance, there is no paradox.
I merged this article with Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program because a similar VfD debate over Bias drive was to merge. It is for sake of consistency that I am doing this. Sjakkalle 08:32, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
