24Post-glacial rebound — A model of present day mass change due to post glacial rebound and the reloading of the ocean basins with seawater. Blue and purple areas indicate rising due to the removal of the ice sheets. Yellow and red areas indicate falling as mantle… …
25Lorentz ether theory — What is now called Lorentz Ether theory ( LET ) has its roots in Hendrik Lorentz s Theory of electrons , which was the final point in the development of the classical aether theories at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century …
26Mass versus weight — The chains on the swing hold all the child’s weight. If one were to stand behind her at the bottom of the arc and try to stop her, one would be acting against her inertia, which arises purely from mass, not weight. In everyday usage, the mass of… …
27Inertialess drive — The inertialess drive is a fictional means of accelerating to close to the speed of light or faster than light travel, originally used in Triplanetary and the Lensman series by E.E. Doc Smith, and later by Robert A. Heinlein, Larry Niven, and… …
28Car handling — and vehicle handling is a description of the way wheeled vehicles perform transverse to their direction of motion, particularly during cornering and swerving. It also includes their stability when moving in a straight line. Handling and braking… …
