There is a limit to what one can achieve in a single
day. Today is no exception..., and I have very few
images.
OK, 7 more containers, all ready for coating. Coating
of the last lot is continuing, despite the heat...
Those few, particularly in the middle of this
photo, make me wonder what if I use two different
materials. A striking contrast, I think that is
what I may be after...
Anyway, bringing these 7 of them into this form, yes, did take time!
It is a number problem, after all... The more you have
of the same kind, the more boring the end result in the
photo...
On top of that I have this.
The same pieces minus one from yesterday?, but
more refined, of course. Minus one?, I simply
mislaid one, that is all.
I need to fabricate 30 more containers, so that
I can give them away to my former colleagues, who
are all females. Males do not care, that is why...
The more I think about today's amount, the more
I am drawn into the idea of expanding, or supplementing
my log with something else.
I will do that as follows. Take a look at the illustration.
A is the earth schematic. Here, I pose
a simple question to you.
What if you put a red rope all around the maximum
circumference of the earth so that there is no gap
between the rope and the surface of the earth.
This is depicted as B, and the rope does not strech,
nor shrink... The real question is this. If you make
the rope longer by one meter and do the same,
(that is to say, evenly with respect to the
earth surface)
there will be a gap, or space, albeit limited, between
the rope and the earth surface. My question is what you think
this gap might be, or the height of the gap, space,
whatever you call it...
With this illustration C's white ring is the gap. The
gap I am talking about is additionally shown as an aside,
to the right of it, C.
It may seem a simple arithmetic, and in fact you can
put numbers in. That, will, however, take time...
But, do you know the numbers in the first place?
If you do that, in fact, if you do that, you will
not be able to survive in the world of physics...
And, I have survived!
The straight answer is just over 30cm and I do not have
the exact number, you can do it yourself.
You may, of course, not believe it. Just an ellongation
by a mere one meter leading to so much space...
The length of a circle is defined as 2 x pai x its radius, R.
We are talking about an infinitesimal increase in the
circle length, of course.
The radius, R, on the other hand is measured from
the centre of the earth to the rope. The gap here is
equivalent to the infinitesimal increase in the R!
We are talking about 2 x pai x dR! And the dR here is
the gap height! So much is the power of the differential
calculus!, as opposed to integral calculus!
The answer is this. 2 x pai x gap height = one meter.
This value is, in fact, indepndent of the radius,
so that the same value will emerge, be it with a ping pong ball,
or with anything circular!
After all, I am a physicist, through and through!
