A New World
My ramblings about science….

From my previouse post “The Legrangian - How it’s used…” I had a left over question, which was to solve the legrangian equation of motion:

This annoys me, not the scientists doing it but the journalists, it’s another example of silly reporting.

Yep the hydrogen compound may well superconduct at room temperature, but you’ve got to have all the kit to compress it which really is not that easy at all! AND when you compress it the damn thing heats up so you’ve still got to cool it!

Impractical!

Firstly apologies about my lack of blogs recently, I’ve been REALLY busy… and there probably wont be much here for a while…

Well I’m stuck in uni for a little while before my tutorial starts at 1, so I thought I’d quickly explain how the Lagrangian is used.

And so begins my few posts on analytical dynamics.

I like analytical dynamics, people will think me weird for this. But it is so much more pleasant than newtonian mechanics. Who needs forces when you have energies!

And it seems I got it!

Thanks Capn’

Some analytical dynamics posts will be along shortly…

Zoology isn’t my thing but…

I’ve recently been reading “Last chance to see” which is a supurb book writen by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine. It’s an account of their trips visiting endangered animals around the world for a BBC radio series.

Hello, and welcome to my science related blog…

I shall try and keep my posts interesting but who knows what may happen
