(PhysOrg.com) -- When a meteor impacts a planet or a moon, it always stops at a relatively shallow depth, even when impacting at high speeds. Until now, researchers have assumed that all objects impacting a granular medium – such as sand or beads – rapidly lose energy and stop at a shallow depth. But in a new study, researchers have demonstrated that weighted ping-pong balls impacting a 600-cm (20-ft)-long tube filled with polystyrene beads can reach a terminal velocity, which allows the balls to continue sinking endlessly to an infinite depth.
Through calculations and simulations, the researchers showed that, if the length of the tube were extended, the heavier balls would continue to sink indefinitely. The reason is that the balls reached a terminal velocity when the upward drag force and the downward force of gravity (which depends on the object’s mass) were balanced. At this time, the object’s acceleration is zero, so that it continues sinking at a constant speed.
and the distence at which the heliospherical "bubbles" extend to the heliosphere and beyond in three different interaction boundrys.
it also seams to have corilations to space time desity in different scales
this is what makes me question the work of plank and planks lenght equations
i have a problem with the foamy veiw and beleive there is a "eulers" length equation in different scale lengths
that dont seam to corrispond to planks equations.
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity describes the properties of gravity and assumes that space is a smooth, continuous fabric. Yet quantum theory suggests that space should be grainy at the smallest scales, like sand on a beach.
One of the great concerns of modern physics is to marry these two concepts into a single theory of quantum gravity.
Now, Integral has placed stringent new limits on the size of these quantum ‘grains’ in space, showing them to be much smaller than some quantum gravity ideas would suggest.
According to calculations, the tiny grains would affect the way that gamma rays travel through space. The grains should ‘twist’ the light rays, changing the direction in which they oscillate, a property called polarisation.
