Sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The circumscribed cylinder for a given sphere has a volume which is 3/2 times the volume of the sphere, and also a surface area which is 3/2 times the surface area of the sphere. For this reason, the sphere appears in nature: for instance bubbles and small water drops are roughly spherical, because the surface tension minimizes surface area. The sphere has the smallest surface area among all surfaces enclosing a given volume and it encloses the largest volume among all closed surfaces with a given surface area. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sphere   (1073 words)

PlanetMath: sphere This is version 13 of sphere, born on 2001-10-15, modified 2005-12-18. A sphere is defined as the locus of the points in three dimensions that are equidistant from a particular point (the center). refers to the sphere's “intrinsic” dimension as a manifold, not the dimension to whatever space in which it happens to be immersed. planetmath.org /encyclopedia/Sphere.html   (339 words)

Bernal sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sunlight was to be provided to the interior of the sphere using external mirrors to direct it in through large windows near the poles. The form of a sphere was chosen for its optimum ability to contain air pressure and its optimum mass-efficiency at providing radiation shielding. A Bernal sphere is a type of space habitat intended as a long-term home for permanent residents, first proposed in 1929 by Dr. John Desmond Bernal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bernal_sphere   (272 words)

Celestial sphere Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an imaginary rotating sphere of "gigantic radius", concentric with the Earth. As the earth rotates from west to east, the celestial sphere appears to rotate from east to west. Many ancient societies believed that the stars were equidistant from the Earth and that this sphere was a real model of the universe. wikiwhat.com /encyclopedia/c/ce/celestial_sphere.html   (395 words)

Dyson Spheres A sphere's radius would be equal to the orbital distance of the race's home planet (or an equivelent distance based on the sun's output) so that once the sphere is completed, it will receive an appropriate distribution of energy so that the species can live comfortably on the interior surface. The great advantage to a Dyson Sphere is twofold: One, the species inhabiting the sphere can theoretically use 100% of their sun's power, and two, the sphere's inner surface provides an enormous habitable area for, potentially, an entire species. The Dyson Sphere which I have discussed so far is known as a Type 2 Dyson Sphere: It is a totally whole, solid sphere. users.rcn.com /jasp.javanet/dyson   (819 words)

sphere.txt Sphere is not a system for interacting with the user, rather it is a system for managing and organizing a user interaction system. In developing Sphere I did not look to history or endorse the continuation of a single course of evolution from the time before I was born but rather I looked closely at how computers are built and used today. The User interface sphere may also provide facilities to run commands like any other shell, though any number of techniques can be employed by this sphere on any number of devices at any time, which may or may not include classic utilities, or may accomplish the same ends through data "workbenches". users.rcn.com /alangrimes/UCE/sphere.txt   (10023 words)

TechCrunch » Will Sphere Solve the Blog Relevance Problem? Instead, Sphere seems to be be trying to determine blog authority on a given subject area, and determine new authoritative blogs based on who those blogs point to. There is a very funny bit in Los Big Names where she is trying to brag about having a part in the movie “Sphere” only to discover that the word is not so easy to pronounce/hear. Sphere is taking a crack at building a more relevant blog search engine. www.techcrunch.com /2005/10/08/will-sphere-be-blog-search-20   (400 words)

Jackson,Peter Coyote,Liev Schreiber,Queen Latifah,Marga Gómez,Huey Lewis,Bernard Hocke,James Pickens Jr.,Michael Keys Hall,Ralph Tabakin,Barry Levinson What they don't know is that the sphere has the power to manipulate their thoughts and perceptions, and before long the scientists' undersea habitat is a veritable haunted house of frightening visions and creeping paranoia. Sphere makes some attempt to answer these questions, but the film is a mess, and it leads to one of the most anticlimactic endings of any science fiction film ever made.

Amazon.com: Sphere: Books: Michael Crichton Sphere is by no means a perfect novel, but I found it captivating and basically addictive up until the somewhat disappointing ending. Sphere is not only a gratifying sci-fi suspense tale; it also reflects Crichton's keen interest in the unexplained powers of the human mind. The mysterious Sphere imparts an amazing power to those who enter it, a power that such individuals may not even be consciously aware of wielding. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345353145?v=glance   (1936 words)

dysonFAQ.html This would produce spheres with a radius of 0.0057-0.0069 AU (852,720 - 1,032,240 km). The Dyson sphere (or Dyson shell) was originally proposed in 1959 by the astronomer Freeman Dyson in "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation" in Science as a way for an advanced civilisation to utilise all of the energy radiated by their sun. But if the sphere is inside the dyson sphere (the sun is ignored in this calculation, as we are only interested in the gravity of the dyson sphere), there is no mass inside it and hence the integral must be zero, which means that there is no gravitational field inside the sphere. www.nada.kth.se /~asa/dysonFAQ.html   (5329 words)

Sphere The soul is the radiance of the sphere. The spirit is the motion of the reflected images that constantly flow through the structures within the sphere.

The Geometry of the Sphere 1. Remember that a great circle is the intersection of the sphere with a plane that passes through the center of the sphere. However, since the great circles are geodesics on the sphere, just as lines are in the plane, we should consider the great circles as replacements for lines. It is easy to see that the circle of intersection will be largest when the plane passes through the center of the sphere, as it does in the figure to the left. math.rice.edu /~pcmi/sphere/sphere.html   (667 words)

Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology - integrating spheres, Ulbricht sphere It is a hollow sphere with a diffusely reflecting internal surface, typically two or more small openings (ports) for introducing light or attaching a photodetector, and often some so-called baffles, which are light barriers used to prevent direct illumination of a detector by a light source. An integrating sphere is an optical device for various purposes such as measuring the optical flux from a laser diode, light-emitting diode (LED) or bulb, or measuring scattering losses from a surface. If the optical losses in the sphere and through the ports are low, the multiple reflections can lead to a rather high radiance inside the sphere and consequently to a good optical efficiency, even if the sphere is much larger than the light source and the detector. www.rp-photonics.com /integrating_spheres.html   (307 words)

The Geometry of the Sphere We will study the incidence relations between great circles, the notion of angle on the sphere, and the areas of certain fundamental regions on the sphere, culminating with the area of spherical triangles. The curves on the sphere with the same property are the great circles. In plane geometry we study points, lines, triangles, polygons, etc. On the sphere we have points, but there are no straight lines--- at least not in the usual sense. math.rice.edu /~pcmi/sphere   (410 words)
