		The nuclear fusion of two protons is a very important topic in physics, because, in the context of hot fusion, it is deemed to be the energy source that powers the sun and because, in the context of cold fusion, certain experiments offer promise in the quest for a new pollution-free energy source.
		To derive with such accuracy both this hydrogen/deuteron abundance ratio and the magnetic moment of the deuteron from the same physical account of the structure of the deuteron is quite remarkable.
		Given the exceptional nature of those results for the physical theory under discussion, there can surely be no doubt that the basis on which the theory is developed is correct and warrants attention in the onward quest to generate power by harnessing cold fusion technology.

	Moment (physics) Encyclopedia
		In physics, the moment of force (often just moment, though there are other quantities of that name such as moment of inertia) is a quantity that represents the magnitude of force applied to a rotational system at a distance from the axis of rotation.
		The SI unit for moment is the newton meter (Nm).
		The principle of moments is derived from Archimedes' discovery of the operating principle of the lever.

		The moment of inertia of a body about a point is the sum, for each particle in the body, of the mass of the particle and the square of its distance from the point.

		Able to detect the presence of particles at a scale of 10 to the power of –17 centimetres, the LHC itself is enormous: the pipes are contained in a 27-kilometre circumference tunnel buried underground near Geneva and the Franco-Swiss border.
		The Standard Model of particle physics explains the interactions of matter with three of the four fundamental forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force (which binds the parts of an nucleus together) and the weak nuclear force (which allows for the radioactive decay of particles).
		But particle physics has so far proved as elusive to the public as the particles are to the scientists, and a large part of the reason for the confusion and disinterest is the mixed message of competing theories.

	Moment of Inertia
		Moment of inertia is the name given to rotational inertia, the rotational analog of mass for linear motion.
		The moment of inertia of a point mass with respect to an axis is defined as the product of the mass times the distance from the axis squared.
		Since the moment of inertia of an ordinary object involves a continuous distribution of mass at a continually varying distance from any rotation axis, the calculation of moments of inertia generally involves calculus, the discipline of mathematics which can handle such continuous variables.

		I understand a moment is a weight being moved by a particular distance.
		"Moment" or "torque" is a measure of the strength or ability of a force to rotate something about an axis.
		The only part of the force that matters when computing moment is the component perpendicular to the line between the force application point and the axis of rotation.

		In the process of defining his own motivations for creating images, he also investigated the nature of the photographic process, and found that the language of photography did not describe his methods.
		Phrases like "photo shoot" and "capturing a moment" both denote an invade-and-conquer mentality that he did not see reflected in the work of great photographers such as Dorthea Lange, Steve McCurry, Doris Ulman, or Arthur Fellig.
		Rather, Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment" and Ansel Adams' commitment to innovation led him on the conceptual path to practicing "stopphysics".

		The moment of inertia I of a body is a measure of how hard it is to get it rotating about some axis.
		The moment I is to rotation as mass m is to translation.
		The moment of inertia is always defined with reference to a particular axis of rotation — often a symmetry axis, but it can be any axis, even one that is outside the body.

	Quantum physics says goodbye to reality (April 2007) - News - PhysicsWeb
		Quantum mechanics says that there should be a high correlation between results at the polarizers because the photons instantaneously "decide" together which polarization to assume at the moment of measurement, even though they are separated in space.
		Hidden variables, however, says that such instantaneous decisions are not necessary, because the same strong correlation could be achieved if the photons were somehow informed of the orientation of the polarizers beforehand.
		They found that, just as in the realizations of Bell's thought experiment, Leggett's inequality is violated – thus stressing the quantum-mechanical assertion that reality does not exist when we're not observing it.

	Precession of a Gyroscope and Precession of the Earth's Axis
		M is the 'moment' meaning the sideways (along axis 2) moment (or torque) that is trying to change the direction of the horizontal (originally along axis 1) angular momentum vector of the spinning rotor (in other words, the fact that gravity is attempting ot make it fall, and therefore hinge around axis 2).
		I is something called the 'moment of inertia', a characteristic of the construction of the spinning rotor, omega (w here) is the rate of spinning of the rotor, and OMEGA (W here) is the rate of precession that will occur.
		Moment or Torque is force times radius arm, so we have the torque as being 0.294 newton times half of the shaft length or 0.04 meter for a torque of 0.01076 newton-meter.
