Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (2)

|

Let us calculate, in fact, according to the usual kinematics, the duration of each of the double paths. In view of simplifying the exposition, we will admit that the direction SA of the luminous ray has been chosen so as … Read More

Vera C. Rubin Observatory detects its first asteroid

|

The detection of asteroids is an essential aspect of planetary defense and understanding the potential risks they pose to Earth. Astronomers use various methods to detect and track asteroids. Astronomers use telescopes on Earth to scan the night sky for … Read More

The Birds World

|

Birds are among the most extensively studied of all animal groups. Hundreds of academic journals and thousands of scientists are devoted to bird research, while amateur enthusiasts (called birdwatchers or, more commonly, birders) probably number in the millions. Birds are … Read More

August 2023, the Month of the Moons: 2 Full Moons/Supermoons with a Blue Moon, and a Lunar Eclipse

|

The moon in August 2023 will be a spectacular sight for skywatchers, as it will feature a rare blue moon, 2 full moons, 2 supermoons, and a partial lunar eclipse. A Blue Moon is a term used to describe a … Read More

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (1)

|

The theory of relativity, even “restricted”, is not precisely based on the Michelson-Morley experiment, since it expresses, in a general way, the need to preserve the laws of electromagnetism in an invariable form when passing from one system of reference … Read More

The singularities as ontological limits of the general relativity

|

The singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein’s equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their … Read More

Henri Poincaré: Potential of an electric mass distributed on the surface of a sphere (2)

|

Suppose that we propose to find a function F which satisfies Laplace’s equation inside the sphere S and which, at the different points M of the surface of this sphere, take given values V°. The value of this function V … Read More

Henri Poincaré: Potential of an electric mass distributed on the surface of a sphere

|

Such is the present state of the question; let us see now what is the goal that I have in view; what would have been most interesting would have been to replace the current calculation methods with other less defective … Read More

Henri Poincaré: Solving Dirichlet’s problem

|

Dirichlet’s problem reduces to the search for Green’s functions. Let’s find a function V which inside a surface S satisfies Laplace’s equation and on this surface takes given values. Suppose that we have found a function U which is finite, … Read More

Psychology, Duality and Heterotopy in The Adventures of Pinocchio

|

Panteli highlights the psychological aspects of Collodi’s book appealing to Freudian psychoanalysis in literary theory and the use of a model of Freud’s definition of the human psyche. The Adventures of Pinocchio can also be approached through the prism of the philosophy of mind, of the essential questions in this field. In the book, within the limits of the heterotopic experience, several theoretical and ontological questions are explored through an examination of the psychological, emotional and spiritual requirements on the individuals in this space.

Henri Poincaré: Dirichlet problem

|

The Dirichlet problem is always possible; this principle is known as Dirichlet’s principle and the first proof is due to Riemann. If a function V is subject to taking given values at various points of a certain surface, bounding a … Read More

Henri Poincaré: Common properties of mathematical physics

|

This rapid review of the various parts of mathematical physics has convinced us that all these problems, despite the extreme variety of boundary conditions and even differential equations, have, so to speak, a certain air of family which it is … Read More
