Hey everyone.

Use this thread to post anything which is out of scope of the HSC Physics syllabus.

Please note:

Do NOT use everything here as part of your HSC Physics assessments, as the HSC Physics syllabus usually won't go into depth on everything and thus some of this information is not necessarily useful for your assessments.

I'll start with something I posted up somewhere else:

How would the gravity work if you were on an ellipsoid or any other odd shape? (like a square)

That's Physics. But to imagine this concept you must understand the definition of Einstein's definition of gravity, not Newtonian gravity.
Basically its like imagining that space is a 3d fabric which warps on the basis of different densities. It is very hard to imagine it, but this is the 2d representation:

So now imagine what it would be like for a different shape, using this model. I will post up an extracurricular Physics thread on this. If you want to ask more, then post in there instead of here, which is for Maths.
