Why does the earth rotate? Why can you assume that all possible angular velocities are equally likely? |

What happens to body chemistry at the speed of light? @magneticMonster You’re thinking of velocity addition the “usual” way: if you’re in a bus going 30 mph and you throw a ball forward at 10 mph then the ball will be going 40 mph according to someone outside the bus. But it turns out that this isn’t quite correct when you’re going at speeds ~10% or more the speed of light: the velocities have to add so that nothing goes faster than light. See e.g. this for more info. |

Why does an octave on a piano have the divisions of 8 white keys and 5 black keys? The assignment of notes as white or black keys has nothing to do with physics or acoustics. In the equal temperament tuning system typically used for e.g. pianos, each note has a frequency a factor of $\sqrt[12]{2}$ greater than the next lower note, regardless of whether it’s black or white. |

Is there a contradiction of the theory of relativity here? — Length contraction and EMR amplitude Are you confusing amplitude and wavelength/frequency? |
