Already been said you dumb nigger, read the fucking thread and say something original, it's only 7 posts long before your shitty, worthless addition. Say something original like Bell. I'm getting real tired of your shit Tooker.

>A screw is a six-dimensional vector constructed from a pair of three-dimensional vectors, such as forces and torques and linear and angular velocity, that arise in the study of spatial rigid body movement
so you take two length-3 vectors, and then make a third vector that is length-6 with them? is that right? if so how is this useful?

There aren't many. Infrastructure and public interest was never there for scientific advancements, and the culture is geared towards literature and the arts like >>13241038 said, which they excel in

Bell's theorem proves that quantum physics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories.
Bell's theorem, derived in his seminal 1964 paper titled "On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox",[2] has been called, on the assumption that the theory is correct, "the most profound in science".[15]

Nice one.

>>13242350
Hamilton has also made hugely important contributions to physics.

>Hamilton's analysis revealed much deeper mathematical structure than had been previously understood, in particular the symmetry between momentum and position. Paradoxically, the credit for discovering the quantity now called the Lagrangian and Lagrange's equations belongs to Hamilton. Hamilton's advances enlarged greatly the class of mechanical problems that could be solved, and they represent perhaps the greatest addition which dynamics had received since the work of Isaac Newton and Lagrange.

It has been repeatedly proven by experiment for the last 50 years. Einstein completely bfto by Bell.

Quoted By:

>John Tyndall FRS (/?tJnd?l/; 2 August 1820 – 4 December 1893) was a prominent 19th-century Irish physicist. His initial scientific fame arose in the 1850s from his study of diamagnetism. Later he made discoveries in the realms of infrared radiation and the physical properties of air, proving the connection between atmospheric CO2 and what is now known as the greenhouse effect in 1859.
