I participate on this site because I really enjoy physics and because I would like to learn more about what makes an online community work well. Questions often interest me more than answers – although I think the best answers are grounded in observation and experiment. I’m optimistic that there are still many surprising discoveries yet to be made in the physical sciences. I believe physicists should be good citizens. I believe my children will know things about the natural world I can’t even imagine – and will learn them in ways quite different than how I was educated.

May 10	answered	Explanation for breaking up of a stream of water into droplets
May 9	comment	Explanation for breaking up of a stream of water into droplets This sounds like classic Plateau-Raleigh instability of fluid jet. You should be able to find several sources for this analysis on the web under that name.

May 7	answered	How do objects change their axis of rotation?
May 6	comment	What is the difference between lattice vectors and basis vectors? Yes thanks, you are correct. I think the explanation in the link above is how crystallographers use these terms.
May 6	comment	What would be the basis vectors for this 2D crystal structure? Yes I think this is the best-correct answer.

May 3	revised	I can't figure out crystal planes with negative intercepts changed link
May 3	answered	I can't figure out crystal planes with negative intercepts
May 3	answered	Are there real life applications for Hausdorff dimensions, specifically crack formations?
May 1	comment	I can't figure out crystal planes with negative intercepts You may be aware of this already but I believe these are Miller Indices - are you familiar with those?
May 1	comment	Where do high-energy neutrinos come from? Thanks, that paper really addresses my question. I'd also mention the title too: "Best-Bet Astrophysical Neutrino Sources"
