So I have decided to slightly postpone what was to be my next published diary (on creating a headless computer and sharing from within a network) and write about something else. Namely what I hold a degree in, physics.
I apologize to those waiting for the other diary, it should be published soon (tomorrow afternoon if I can but no holding me to it). That said, I wanted to start what I hope to become something regular here and that is a discussion on physics.
Now to make these easier to understand, I will not be invoking calculus here and I do not plan on doing so later. While it is true that to fully understand physics and work in the field you need to understand calculus I am going to avoid it as much as I can.
Because I understand that not everyone is weird like me and finds the math beautiful. So please follow me over the jump and let's start with the most basic building block of physics, the difference between scalars and vectors.
