Corsair iCUE LINK 3500X RGB Case Review

This new pillarless case is the iCUE LINK 3500X RGB which comes in as a mid-tower with three pre-installed iCUE LINK RX120 fans and the iCUE LINK System Hub. Of course you have glass front and side panels to show off your system, support for 360mm radiators, and this case is compatible with back-connect motherboards like ASUS’s BTF and MSI’s Project Zero. Let’s take a look and see what this case is all about!

Explaining Oumuamua and Pioneer anomaly using Time relativity

I find that in theory the weird Speed Boost of the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua should be 0.217 mm/s above the prediction and that ‘Oumuamua should slow down less than prediction, in proportion of which the difference is 4.28×10-8 near the Sun. For Pioneer anomaly I have computed the gap between real and predicted acceleration and...

General equation for Space-Time geodesics and orbit equation in relativistic gravity

Orbit equation and orbital precession General Relativity explains gravity as Space-Time curvature and orbits of planets as geodesics of curved Space-Time. However, this concept is extremely hard to understand and geodesics hard to compute. If we can find an analytical orbit equation for planets like Newtonian orbit equation, relativistic gravity will become intuitive and straightforward...

Gravitational time dilation and black hole

In this article, we derive the gravitational time dilation factor in a new manner, which allows us to identify the mathematical cause of Schwarzschild radius, to give a theoretical way to avoid it and to compute properties of black hole. General relativity effects are computed as simple as in special relativity. Observability of black hole...

How galaxies make their rotation curves flat and what about dark matter?

The rotation curves of disc galaxies are flat and dark matter is speculated as explanation. Alternatively, the gravity of material disk could explain the flat curves. Using the gravitational force that a disk exerts on a body in the disk, we have computed the the rotation curves of disc galaxies and the curve of their...

Relativistic dynamics: force, mass, kinetic energy, gravitation and dark matter

Special relativity does not deal with acceleration, general relativity does not deal with non gravitational acceleration, which leave the theory of relativity imperfect. We will demonstrate some relativistic dynamical laws that specify relativistic acceleration, force and kinetic energy. Also, based on equivalence principle does gravitational mass vary with inertial mass? Newtonian kinematics defines motions of...

Radius of a black hole for relativity and Newtonian mechanics

For Newtonian mechanics The Schwarzschild radius is the radius of the event horizon of a black hole. Amazingly, we can compute it with Newtonian mechanics, which is explained below. Consider a big mass M which creates the gravitational acceleration a for a small mass m at the distance r from M, see figure 1 and...

Determination of the relative roll, pitch and yaw between arbitrary objects using 3D complex number

The roll, pitch and yaw of an object relative to another is complex to compute. We use 3D complex number to compute them which makes the computation easier and more intuitive. Roll, pitch and yaw are angles of orientation of an object in space and the conversion of these angles among different reference frames is...

Valentine Canvas – Easy Art Project for Kids

Transforming Our Complaints into Something Generative

By Leo Babauta Something that has long been a struggle for me is when people complain a lot — I really don’t love the negative energy, and I tend to turn away from people who are complaining. So I’ve been examining this in recent years … and I’ve been learning a lot about myself. The […]

Transforming Overwhelm into a Creative, Productive Energy

By Leo Babauta I talk to dozens of people every month — Zen Habits readers, coaching clients and Fearless Living Academy members — who struggle with a feeling of overwhelm from all of the things on their plates. Overwhelm from tasks, messages, and more is completely normal. It’s based on a fear that we can’t […]

By Leo Babauta I believe in finding powerful practices for transformation wherever we can find them. And the Stoic philosophers Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca are huge inspirations for me.

In July of 1938, American novelist Thomas Wolfe was struck down with pneumonia and taken to hospital. He was soon diagnosed as having tuberculosis of the brain, from which he would never recover. Wolfe died on 15th September, aged just 37. A month before his death, as he lay in hospital, Wolfe wrote to his
