If a Tensor applied to a vector yields a zero vector, what is its physical significance?

01 January 2014 1 2K Report

W.r.t the attached pic. Can see why mathematically it is so but what does it mean physically?

It means that the vector is in the nullspace of that matrix. see the Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org/) for introductory lectures on the nullspace of matrices

What is the difference between mathematical R^4 space and physical 4D unit space?

We assume that the difference is huge and that it is not possible to compare the two spaces. The R^4 mathematical space considers time as an external controller and the space itself is immobile in...

Should I remove an item from a scale to raise Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega or is it better to leave it if they are both over .7 already?

Hello! I have this scale which had 10 items initially. I had to remove items 8 and 10 because they correlated negatively with the scale, and then I removed item 9 because Cronbach's alpha and...

Why 3 replicates for most biological assays? Is it enough to examine the data fits normal distribution?

Just bounced on me. Before statistically analysing significant difference, shouldn't we see if data fits normal distribution first? Is 3 replicates enough to testify the hypothesis of normal...
