    physical processes to be future directed or oriented, then they also allow for those self-same processes to be past directed or oriented. The dynamical laws are time-reversal invariant. As Roger Penrose stated, …the dynamical equations of classical and quantum mechanics are symmetrical under a reversal of the direction of time! As far as mathematics is concerned, one can just as well specify final conditions, at some remote future time, and evolve

    INTRODUCTION We know the importance of Angular Momentum in Classical Mechanics; the total angular momentum of an isolated physical system is a constant of the motion. For example, if a point particle P, of mass m, is moving in a central potential (one which depends only on the distance between P and a fixed point O), the force to which P is subjected is always directed towards O. Its moment with respect to O is consequently zero, and the angular momentum theorem implies that derivative of L (Angular

    to help understand the mysteries of the brain science and its functioning. There is a need to help solve brain mysteries through multiple perspectives. Classical Understanding As until recently almost all our understanding of biological processes including brain is mostly based on some principles of classical or Newtonian physics. Such classical principles have been

    Introduction Binaries are embedded within every facet of our perceptions. War, peace, night, day, love, hate; we are inclined to believe that every subject, idea, and thing has a polarizing companion. While this paradigm may be beneficial in understanding the distinction and differences between these pairs, it fails to entertain an idea even more compelling; that these polar opposites may not in fact be that different from one another, and the bold notion that these dichotomies might not be as real

    Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist who had developed his three laws of motion by the age of 23. He was born in 1642 the same year the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei died. Galileo’s work helped to influence or set the stage for the development and creation of Newton’s three laws. Newton’s three laws of motion consists of the first law which is the concepts of inertia, second law which is relating acceleration to its cause and lastly the third law which is action

    Roller coasters are classical examples of energy conversion when moving on smooth curves and loops of the track. At the end of the ride, it must be slowed down and brought to a stop at the station. In modern roller coasters, permanent magnets on the tracks induce currents in brakes as it moves past the brakes. The faster the roller coaster, the stronger the currents induced, and the stronger the braking force. The onset of the braking is smooth; as it enters the brakes which may have become more

    principles. These principles are known as Newton’s laws. To find force, mass and acceleration have to be multiplied together. Therefore, the science of motion can be summarized by that one equation. This equation is said to be the heart of classical mechanics. Acceleration is how fast something gets faster. According to the video, force and acceleration are both vectors and must have

    Introduction Isaac Newton: Is an English scientist who discovered the laws of motion and the gravity. He was born on Christmas Day in 1642. When he was 21 years of age he discovered gravity and the law of universal gravitation, where he was sitting one day under an apple tree relaxed, and all of a sudden and in a moment of clarity, an apple fell on Newton's head, and he began to think of this case, which passed on millions of others without having to pay attention to it. Here the inspiration appeared
