How much space does a music video take up on an ipod nano?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I am going to add some video to my ipod nano with ipodlinux. I wonder how much space the video will take up. How much space will, say, a music video take up on my ipod nano? The same amount as the file of the video? If so, can I somehow compress that to make it take up less space?

Sorry, but why would you want to put a music video on an iPod Nano, since you can’t play video on it?

To play video, you need the iPod Video (30GB or 80GB).
How much space a video will take up, depends on the length and the compression of the video.

How is it possible for the universe to be expanding faster than the speed of light?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Some theories suggest that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. How is this possible? You would think that after the big bang that the universe would slowly lose its expansion speed.

One more question. When the universe expands, is it actually creating new matter in which galaxies can exist, or is it just stretching existing space that was contained within the original universe?

1.The speed of light is the median speed for all of the material in the universe, and so about half is moving faster. Change your perspective to include that, and the whole model on which your question is based falls apart.
Think about it: for the last 50 years,the wizards have waxed philosophic about the universe being entropic, and now all of a sudden you get to see them telling you it is going the other direction?

We humans get too excited about things. We see apparent movement and it is expanding because the matter must be going someplace fashionable. Remember: Fashionable where there is no found reason, means government funding – always has, I think.
The discussion is a fad, so take the ride to the limit and expect the spiel to flip again before you retire.
2, There is no substantive suggestion that the universe is expanding. There is suggestion that the matter within the universe is expanding, and there may be a difference between the two.
Are you asking if the universe is creating new matter that happens to be in front of the matter that is? That is a far more sticky question than you could believe. It is a part of one of the most enjoyable models to play with I have found.
I’ll get back to you next year.

What causes the apparent retrograde motion of the planets?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

A. As Earth passes another planet, its gravitational pull slows down the other planet so that it appears to be traveling backward.

B.When planets are farther from the Sun, they move slower than when they are nearer the Sun; it is during this slower period that they appear to move backwards.

C.The other planets never really appear to move backward; the background stars shift due to Earth’s revolution around the Sun.

D.As Earth passes another planet, the other planet appears to move backward with respect to the background stars, but the planet’s motion does not really change.

E.Apparent retrograde motion is an illusion created by turbulence in Earth’s atmosphere.

D

Due to the different size orbits and orbital velocity of the different planets, we see a planet, such as mars, move with retrograde " backwards" motion compared to the background stars when Earth overtakes and passes the planet … in reality, it is still moving along in it’s orbit at the same pace.
