Well, I do know that one of the consequences of the Special Theory of Relativity is increase in relativistic mass. But physically, why does it happen? Do more fundamental particles get added, or do their own masses increase? (that sounds strange,I know ,but that was only to explain the kind of answer I am looking for) Thanks in advance, and sorry if the question was stupid. My curiosity sometimes forces me to ask such foolish questions.
Some people say that mass increases with speed, some people say that the mass of an object is independent of its speed.  I understand how some (though not many) things in physics are a matter of interpretation based on one's definitions. But I can't get my head around how both can be 'true' is any sense of the word.  Either mass increases or it doesn't, right?  Can't we just measure it, and find out which 'interpretation' is right? e.g.: (in some sophisticated way) heat up some particles in a box and measure their weight?  ------------------------------  UPDATE  Right, so I've got two identical containers, each with identical amounts of water, each on identical weighing scales, and each in the same g field. If one container has hotter water, will the reading on its scale be larger than the other? If the answer is yes, and g is constant, does this mean that the m in w=mg has got bigger?
I'm married have a job with stable income.I have 2 kids. I have applied for UK visit visa about 7 years ago and was refused. I can't remember what exactly was the reason for refusal.  I want to travel for tourism to spend 9 days and my budget is around 1300GBP for the trip. I would be spending part of my annual leave in the UK. I have the following people in UK: Mother, Dad, Sister(she's married), Brother (married), Uncle and Aunt.  I'm travelling alone since my wife is pregnant. I haven't travelled since I was in school then.  I will be on my yearly 21 days annual leave during which I will be spending 9days in UK. I can't think of anything more about my circumstance.  So what should a cover letter look like?  secondly I have just 1 account where my salary is paid in monthly and my savings.I will be submitting the 6 months bank statement for the account.  Additional question:  In the income &amp; expenditure where one is asked to indicate if I have income and savings,should I click Yes or No. And if Yes should state the ending balance as at the time of my application. Is product of two closed sets closed? If $A$ is closed in $X$ and $B$ is closed in $Y$,   does it follow that $A \times B$ is closed in $X \times Y$ ? How to use a decimal range() step value? I would like to have a similar biblatex behaviour as described , i.e. separate bibliographies for different publication types, each bibliography should 1) be prefixed with a corresponding label (C for conference publications, J for journals etc), 2) sorted so that the newest entry is at the top (defined by the publication year) and 3) with reference numbers sorted in descending order per bibliography, i.e. the newest entry should have the highest number.  Journal articles ---------------- [J3]    reference from 2017 [J2]    reference from 2016 [J1]    reference from 2015  Conference publications ----------------------- [C4]    reference from 2017 [C3]    reference from 2017 [C2]    reference from 2016 [C1]    reference from 2015   I currently have the following:  \usepackage[backend=biber,         isbn=true,         giveninits=true,         style=numeric,         maxnames=99,         sorting=ydnt,         defernumbers=true,         autocite=superscript]{biblatex}  \subsection*{Journal articles} \begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=J] \printbibliography[type=article] \end{refcontext}  \subsection*{Conference publications} \begin{refcontext}[labelprefix=C] \printbibliography[type=inproceedings]   Separate bibliographies works fine, labelprefix also works as desired, sorting by year in descending order as well. However, if I try the solution mentioned in the above question I get very high reference numbers (in the 500s).  Is the above behaviour possible at all and, if yes, what is the most elegant solution using current biblatex etc.?  Thanks a lot in advance! "At" vs. "in" before verb In a document I found the following sentence:     listeners are more accurate at understanding speech spoken in their own accent...   Would it be an error to use "in" instead of "at"?  Actually in this case "at" sounds better than "in", but in general before verb is "at" always used? Windows update doesn't progress beyond 0 KB 0% Why aren't bounties refunded if they are not awarded? A well-supported wireless PCI adapter for Ubuntu 12.04? Temperature and kinetic energy of molecules I was wondering if temperature is related to the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules then why does the average kinetic energy of say a moving object not affect the temperature? What is the mechanism regarding these vibrational motions that imparts temperature. Also do a gas and liquid at the same temperature possess the same kinetic energy? and a heavier molecule traveling at the same speed as a lighter molecule will have a greater temperature? How to select an element inside "this" in jQuery? Constructing a function that is continuous and has a max on an open interval, but is not necessarily increasing immediately to the left of the max.

I am trying to display certain features in a shapefile-based layer using QGIS. I have found the subset function in the properties panel, which does exactly what i want, but is too tedious given that I have to manually sift through a large number of features. Is there a quicker way to do this?  I am using both shapefiles and postGIS best,  dietmar ShareLaTeX compilation flags Is it possible and if so how can you pass flags to the ShareLaTeX compiler which one would have passed as parameters to the LaTeX compiler?  I am using the minted package and need to pass the -shell-escape flag. Very thin white line in colortbl Whenever I use the colortbl package to format tables, a thin white space between the cells sometimes shows up on screen (not in print for as far as I can tell). For example in this table:    Is there an easy way to enlarge each rectangle by a tiny amount so that the white space is not visible anymore?  (My guess is that the white space appears due to rounding in my pdf viewer, evince. I don't know if other pdf viewers have the same issue. Regardless, I would like to have my pdf file look good in common pdf readers) How do I join my partitions? Google Spreadsheets Enter/Return Key Behavior In Microsoft Excel, the default behavior of pressing the Enter (return) key is this:     If you are in a cell, and tab over as   you input data, at the end of the   series when you click Enter, the focus   will go to the cell directly under the   cell that you began the series of   tabs.      For example, if you are in cell A1,   tab over to C1, and then click Enter,   the focus will go to cell A2.   Is there any way to get this behavior in Google Spreadsheets? How to prove that $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} f(x)/x=L$ Let $f\colon(0,\infty)\to\mathbb R$ be differentiable on $(0,\infty)$ and suppose that $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} f'(x)=L$.         a. Show that for any $h&gt;0$, $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h=L$.      b. Show that $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} \frac{f(x)} {x} =L$.   this is a differentiation question.  i don't know how to solve this question  Because it is Korean, it is difficult to deal with this cite. So for me, it is not easy to write.  thank you I just added a PPA repository for the development version of the GIMP, but I get this error:  $ apt-get update &amp;&amp; apt-get upgrade ...

I'm looking for a short story whose title I can't remember.  In it a wealthy man practices cloning and consciousness transfer to achieve immortality, often parading older bodies around his estate naked (not a nice guy). The story follows a final transplant, which doesn't go as expected. The man is left trapped with his memories and no ability to speak, while the clone walks off behaving exactly as he would.
