In physics, the concept of absolute rotation—rotation independent of any external reference—is a topic of debate about relativity, cosmology, and the nature...

mechanics about detection of absolute motion. Newton suggested two arguments to answer the question of whether absolute rotation can be detected: the rotating...

Rotation or rotational/rotary motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation. A plane figure can rotate...

In chemistry, specific rotation ([α]) is a property of a chiral chemical compound.: 244  It is defined as the change in orientation of monochromatic plane-polarized...

In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a transformation matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example, using the convention...

Earth's rotation or Earth's spin is the rotation of planet Earth around its own axis, as well as changes in the orientation of the rotation axis in space...

signals. There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making...

orthogonal matrices. These matrices all have a determinant whose absolute value is unity. Rotation matrices have a determinant of +1, and reflection matrices...

Sagnac effect due to Earth's rotation (see Aether drag hypothesis). Another completely different attempt to save "absolute" aether was made in the Lorentz–FitzGerald...

two rotations results in another rotation, every rotation has a unique inverse rotation, and the identity map satisfies the definition of a rotation. Owing...
