This document summarizes key concepts from Einstein's special and general theories of relativity presented in a seminar. It discusses that all physical laws are independent of reference frame and the speed of light is constant. It also covers time dilation, length contraction, relativity of simultaneity, and the twin paradox from special relativity. For general relativity, it describes gravity as the warping of spacetime, the equivalence principle, gravitational time dilation, bending of light by gravity, gravitational redshift, black holes, and experimental tests supporting the theories.
Optimal trajectory to Saturn in ion-thruster powered spacecraftKristopherKerames
In this document, I derive the equations of motion for an ion-thruster powered spacecraft and use numerical methods to calculate its optimal trajectory to Saturn. I did this work within 48 hours for the University Physics Competition in 2020.
This unit carry information of Acceleration Due to the Gravity (g), Satellite and Planetary Motion and Gravitational Field, Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and Total energy of the satellite. in each section, there is an example so as you could be able to manipulate those equations that are associated with this unit. Also, there is problem practice so as to straighten the understanding of this module.
Digital Library of GLT Saraswati Bal Mandir. Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other. It is most commonly experienced as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.
It should be helpful, special thanks to our teacher (whose name is in the power point and the one who made it) from whom I asked his permission to post it here.

Nature is quirky. Whenever things don't quite match up, She changes them so they will. The results often seem to be bizarre and nonsensical, but the more you study it you realize how profoundly wise Nature is. It all started with a thought experiment that Einstein said he came up with at around the age of 16. The young Einstein wondered what would happen if he chased a light beam and caught up with it. This essay describes two of the most important discoveries in science: The Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity. Both of these discoveries were made by a single man, Albert Einstein, over a period of one decade (1905 – 1915). This essay is directed at an audience of amateur scientists like myself. I will approach these two theories on the basis of their underlying principles, deriving as much as possible using basic geometry and a bit of elementary calculus. I will not go into the depth needed to become a “relativist.” Mastery of general relativity would require a good working knowledge of tensors, which is beyond the scope of this essay. Nevertheless, I think amateur scientists like myself will get something useful out of it.
Gravitation has been the most common phenomenon in our lives but somewhere down the line we don't know musch about it. So here is a presentation whic will help you out to know what it is !! I'll be makin it available for download once i submit it in school :P :P ! Coz last one of the brats showed the same presentation that i uploade and unfortunatele his roll number fell before mine ! I was damned..:D :D :P
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Special and General theory of Relativity Einstein
1. SEMINAR
SPECIAL AND GENERAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY IN
NUTSHELL
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS, IIT KHARAGPUR
PRESENTED BY: SHUBHAM PATEL
17PH40035
2. EVERYTHING IS
RELATIVE !
Nothing Absolute !
# All the physical laws are
independent of frame of
reference.
@ speed of light is constant
everywhere.
c = 186,300 miles/s
3. Proofs of prior Statements
Michelson-Morley Experiments:
“Ether Hypothesis”
•Two conclusions: either,
1) Ether does not exist and light does
not need a medium Or
2) ether’s velocity relative to Earth is
zero. But we know Earth is not still
and it keeps moving.
even after 6 months
Earth’s position changed and so relative
velocity of Ether with respect to Earth also,
The experiment does not show any Interference pattern
Ether Not Exist and c is constant
!
5. 2) Lengthcontraction
L is length measured by moving
observer
is length measured by rest
observer.
length of objects moving at relativistic speeds undergoes
a contraction along the dimension of motion. An
observer at rest (relative to the moving object)
would observe the moving object to be shorter in
length.
The picture depicts
“Barn and ladder paradox”
6. 3) Relativityof Simultaneity:
If two events are simultaneous in one frame of reference, they are generally not
simultaneous in another.
A conclude:
B conclude:
Two ships A and B pass by rest observer with equal but opposite velocities. Rest observer
fires explosives at points X1 and x2 simultaneously from his point of view.
7. Twin paradox
if one of a pair of twins were to fly away from
the Earth, when he got home he’d find he was
younger than his twin sibling.
The faster the travelling twin travels during the
journey, the bigger the age difference when he
returns. This happens because, according to
SR, moving clocks run slow.
Paradox: the travelling twin could argue that in
fact he never went anywhere. What happened
was, he stayed still while the Earth jetted off into
space. If “moving clocks run slow”, the traveller
should always have seen the Earth’s clocks as
moving slow, therefore he should end up older
than his twin who stayed on Earth.
8. Variation of mass with velocity
Relativistic mass energy equivalence:
E=mc2
where ‘m’ is relativistic mass
𝑚 =
𝑚0
1−
𝑣2
𝑐2
, m0= rest mass and m is the relativistic mass of the
moving body.
Relativistic mass depends on the motion of the object.
A consequence of the mass–energy equivalence is that if
a body is stationary, it still has some internal or intrinsic
energy, called its rest energy, corresponding to its rest
mass.
12. Equivalence principle:
All feel the same acceleration. the acceleration of bodies towards the
center of the Earth at a rate of 1g (g = 9.81m/s2) is equivalent to the
acceleration of an inertially moving body that would be observed on a
rocket in free space being accelerated at a rate of 1g.
ain = agr
13. Clocks in Gravitational Field:
The equivalence principle Implies that
gravity also influences the clocks.
When the emitter is at higher gravitational
potential than the receiver, the signals will
be received more quickly and vice-versa.
(Rate signals received at B) =
(1+
φ 𝐴−φ 𝐵
𝑐2 )(rate signals emitted at A)
φ 𝐴 − φ 𝐵= gh
Clocks at higher altitude runs faster than
the lower altitude.
14. Gravitational time dilation:
A common equation used to determine gravitational time dilation is derived from the Schwarzschild
metric, which describes space-time in the vicinity of a non-rotating massive spherically
symmetric object. The equation is,
𝑡0 = 𝑡𝑓 1 −
2𝐺𝑀
𝑟𝑐2 = 𝑡0 = 𝑡𝑓 1 −
𝑟𝑠
𝑐2
t0 is the proper time between events A and B for a slow-ticking observer within the gravitational field,
tf is the coordinate time between events A and B for a fast-ticking observer at an arbitrarily large
distance from the massive object (this assumes the fast-ticking observer is using Schwarzschild
coordinates, a coordinate system where a clock at infinite distance from the massive sphere would tick
at one second per second of coordinate time, while closer clocks would tick at less than that rate),
Example The heart of human being is a kind of clock. As measured by a clock on ground floor, a heart
will beat more times on the top floor in a given interval of time than the heart of a similar person on the
ground floor.
For a 30m height building 1 +
(9.8𝑚/𝑠2)(30𝑚)
(3x108 𝑚/𝑠2)
which differs from unity only by a few parts(~1.00000098)
which means a negligible effect. A few microsecond in 100 years.
15. Gravity attracts light:
“Equivalence principle implies that a light ray must fall in the same way in
gravitational field with the same acceleration as the other objects.”
16. Bending of space-time and light:
Gravity warps the space-time and even light. Gravity is attraction but Attraction
due Curved space-time.
17. Gravitational red-shift:
“light leaving a region where
gravity is strong reddens”
Time near the massive body slows
down which directly means
frequency increase.
18. Black-hole:
Highly massive but compact object from which even light cannot
escape, that’s why it is called “Black”.
Event Horizon:
“Once check-in, no check out”
19. Heaviest object in the universe:
Galaxy NGC 1277: One of the biggest central
supermassive black holes ever found in its
center(1.7×1010 M☉ (17 billion solar masses))
20. Tests of general relativity:
1) Precession of the perihelion of Mercury:
As seen from Earth the precession of Mercury’s
orbit is measured to be 5600 seconds of arc
per century (one second of arc= 1/3600
degrees). But actually it is 5557 seconds of
arc per century as Earth is not an inertial
frame of reference.
Discrepancy of 43 seconds of arc per
century.
Resolved by GTR !
21. 2) Light bending
Observations during the eclipse and after
half an year later.
Eddington first observed this effect in
1919 during a solar eclipse.
