Training Log Archive: wannabe

Got sidetracked when I saw that you can only bend a piece of paper in a straight line. Then I tried creating a 3 planed structure out of paper and I managed to get 2, but the final axis was still a 1D Cartesian plane. This required 2 pieces of paper. And the structure follows rules such as it will not lose its shape when folded.

Would like to find a way to fold a single piece of paper into a 3 planed object.

I also figured out that in order to curve something, the 1D object must be stretched.

Thus I can construe that space can be stretched.

Few practice problems in the workbook on the bus. Finished yesterday's unit on calculating speed of light.

Worked on problems where I used Snell's law to find the speed of light or the refractive index of a substance.

I got stuck on one where the ray passed through ethanol and into a diamond. The teacher who helped me did it splendidly, deriving a final equation into which I could put all of the values. I used the exact same method, but input values as I went which increased the margin for error.

My mistake was right at the end of my calculations.
