A spacecraft is reported to have “left the solar system”. This paper asks which edge it left──the answer is that there are five edges, and it was the second from the inside. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──th...

A comet trails its tail away from the Sun. This paper asks whether that tail is one thing──the answer is that there are two, and the forces pulling them are different. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──the rati...

Fitts’s law and Hick’s law both say that time goes as log_2. This paper asks whether they are saying the same thing──the answer is that what is inside the log_2 differs: a dimensionless ratio in one, a count in the other. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new ma...

Cut a hole in a plate and the stress rises at its edge. This paper asks what decides how far it rises──the answer is not the size of the hole but only its sharpness. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed──Inglis’s s...

Replace hydrogen with deuterium and a reaction rate changes. This paper asks why changing only the mass moves the rate──the answer is that the energy of standing still is set by the mass. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new law...

The strength of a material appears in handbooks as one number. This paper asks what number that is──the answer is a number that means nothing unless the specimen volume is written beside it. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new mathematical theorem and no new l...

A least-squares problem is often rewritten as A^->p A x=A^->p b before being solved. This paper asks what that rewriting costs──the answer is exactly half the significant digits, and they are lost as an identity rather than as an approximation. No new mathematical theorem and no new law is claimed. Scope of this paper...
