Spoiler alert: as the azimuthal rotation decreases, the disc also undergoes a decrease in amplitude amid an increase in the frequency of the disk’s axial precession senoidal curve. Though marketed as a toy, this spinning disc has been the subject of multiple scientific papers, since it almost seems to defy gravity.
Price: 25 bucks for a set of two (one alive cat, one dead) We’re assuming Schrödinger drank plenty of coffee while formulating the idea – as have generations who have pondered it since – so this mug is a fitting tribute. It proposes a cat in a box with a random-triggered dose of poison must be considered both alive and dead simultaneously until the box is opened to check. Price: Mildly pricey to prohibitively exorbitantĮrwin Schrödinger composed his famous “cat” thought experiment as a way to demonstrate the counter-intuitiveness of an interpretation of quantum mechanics. So you can, with some truth, tell your loved one: “I’d give you the stars.” Research published in The Astrophysical Journal in 2018 suggests that these incredibly violent collisions of ultra-dense collapsed stars may be responsible for the majority of gold in our universe. Or, as it is more commonly known, gold. If you’re shopping for a gold necklace or watch for a loved one, keep this awesome fact in mind: much of the gold in our galaxy was likely created by the cataclysmic collision of neutron stars very, very far away. 1. A chunk of space-mineral forged in the cataclysmic collision of neutron stars in the far reaches of the universe What do you get for the person who has (a theory of) everything? Here are nine geeky gift ideas for your favourite physics fan.
It’s the most wonderful (space)time of the year, but some people are just so difficult to shop for.
