Commentator compares electromagnetic forces to bicycle generator

Original: It is like pumping with the pedals into a bicycle generator. What you are feeling is the sum total of electromagnetic re

A physics commentator has argued that electromagnetic reaction forces work like pedalling a bicycle connected to a generator: the resistance you feel is the sum of those forces, illustrating how the physics of electricity and motion is meant to behave. The writer further claims that mainstream physics abandoned this way of understanding things in the early twentieth century, prompting debate over whether such classical intuitions still hold.

Why now: The post challenges early twentieth-century changes in physics, which tends to draw argument and interest among science readers.

• It is like pumping with the pedals into a bicycle generator. What you are feeling is the sum total of electromagnetic reaction forces. This is how physics is SUPPOSED to work, but how it STOPPED working in the early 20th century. When physics STOPPED working, period. IT IS… · chemoelectric@masto.ai · 1
