say sun is in moon's orbit - along with sun shrinked to the size of moon - but sun is still the source of energy/light

and moon is in the position of sun , as large as sun

And if there is not much change in size from earth's point of view.. how different would the world be?

This sounds really stupid (especially from someone who got an A in Physics at A-Level), but I understand it as both.

All mass has gravity. Therefore the huge mass of the earth exerts a force on us, pulling us into it. Gravity is therefore a force.

We have weight due to gravity. This is equal to our mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. BUT if you assume the Earth is not spinning, when we are standing on the ground, we are not accelerating towards the centre of the Earth.

Of course, the Earth is actually spinning, which creates centripetal force, and so we are accelerating towards the centre of the Earth. BUT the geometric poles (i.e. not magnetic poles) do not have any centripetal force, and yet gravity and weight still apply there. So is gravity the acceleration due to the Earth spinning? Or is that something else?

I don't understand how scientists knew there were such a thing as atoms and isotopes a hundred years ago. They can't be seen through the most powerful microscope. How can you possibly know that this element has 6 neutrons, that one 12 and they can change when they want. How did they see this?

I dont know how to word my question but here is my best attempt.

Does the signal strength of FM transmission fade if the number of consumers increase ?

Is the assumption that FM waves are similar to electricity in the sense that it has to be produced enough to be consumed by receivers correct ?

According to Einstein's relativity, light only travels through space, not time, so a watch riding on a light wave would never change time (never increase in time). If this is true, then the time light is emitted (born) would be the same time light is absorbed (no longer in existence) in the reference frame of the light. So if light is emitted and absorbed at the same time, then could it have existed at all (in its own reference frame). Also, wouldn't this mean that light travels all distances instantaneously in its own reference frame? Please set me straight if I am not understanding this concept correctly.

I have discovered a higher level of this subject and each day find out more and more. So the thought is since a vacuum in a balloon will easily float better then helium if it is sustained then will it be able to sustain with a resistance ring? A vacuum evacuates too quickly because the weight of air is dominant and causes pressure to the container of the vacuum so it shrivels up. But would a container of vacuum inside a container of helium be able to sustain enough resistance long enough for them to react to lift?

I am working on a simple video game. I want to incorporate 3d sound, but only through headphones. There's this type of recording called holophonic sound. I did research and found out that a special extra signal gets added to a sound to make it seem to come from a certain place. Since this signal is different for different angles, but not different when you record multiple times from the same angle, then there must be some sort of algorithm in making the added signal. Does anyone know how do i make this stignal or what exactly makes this signal?

Albert Einstein theorized that light is the fastest thing in the universe. But if the sun were to go out right now then we'd wait a few minutes for the light from the sun to stop shining on the earth and we'd then spin out of orbit and everyone dead. BUT that would mean that INFORMATION travels faster than light, disproving Einstein's theory. HOWEVER, the theory would still hold true if loss of magnetic force was instantaneous, meaning we'd spin out of orbit immediately. But wouldn't that mean that magnetism travels faster than light?

I would appreciate your input and any articles/people who have argued against Einstein's theory.

Theoretically, let's say Bob can control matter, through telepathy or however else. Since matter is that has mass and occupies space, an atom being the smallest indivisible unit of matter, this includes pretty much everything around us. What could be the possibilities entailed with this special ability? Imagination time!
