I have to say that I agree with Ken. I think ideas about causation actually sit outside of the scientific method. In fact, I think they're much more...
It wouldn't. Because Meeus is using actual orbital solutions, rather than probablities, he can tell you exactly which 90-degree wedge the planets are...
Meeus's figure for common quadrants isn't probabilistic - it uses actual orbital solutions for each planets (I think VSOP87, but I haven't checked)....
Yes, although working with the pseudoforces will give you the right answer, eventually, this is one of those occasions when standing back and looking...
Neglecting air resistance (which would likely vaporize your one-gram object in the process of bring it to a halt), something between 10 and 11 km/s,...
It turns out that the angular velocity doesn't matter - if the rotation speed is faster or slower, things happen faster or slower, but the deflection...
Curiously enough, I do. :) Something I mentioned on another thread, as a way of tricking even cunning mice and rats to put their weight on a trigger....
I was writing something about this recently, and ran into an oddity.
The OED says that verloren hoop was "among sailors mispronounced flowing hope",...
