I'm going to IGC this summer for 2 weeks. On the website it says they are going ot send you the packing list but i'm busy all summer long, and i need to pack soon.They havent send it yet. Could anyone please tell me what i need? Do i need grips and tape and all that stuff?? Thx in advance!
it depends on the cleaner and the person. some people arent bothered by the burning. i would wear gloves just to be safe.
Rain: No problems, just be aware of the limits of your tires for hydroplaning. With rear wheel drive, the front wheels Plow enough water off the road that you can have good rear wheel traction, but begin to hydroplane with the front. You may not be aware of this until a curve. The ESP is helpful. Snow: I got caught by snow 500 miles from home with the Michelans it came with. Luckily, no big hills and the interstate was mostly just wet. Like someone above said, rear wheel drives are preferred by PDs around here and I have driven big rear wheel drive vehicles in the snow for about 35 years now, including to ski hills. Good tires (Stud-less snow tires) and common sense and it should do fine. I will admit, mine goes in the back of the shop with a dust cover and a battery maintainer between November and March! Between the posi-track, the ESP, and with the addition of a good snow tire. I would think it would do fine in compact snow, a few inches of powder snow, small drifts. And it should do as well as any similar car on ice. As far as other safety features, it is 5 star crash rated all around.
Challengers usually have fat tires, and anything with fat tires is not great in the snow. But they are way better than the first gen challengers of old.
Light follows the straightest possible path in space-time, that is, the path that takes the shortest possible time. In the absence of gravitational fields the space-time is Minkowskian (the space is your well-known off the shelf Euclidean space) and there the path is a straight line. However, mass exerts gravity by bending spacetime. This bending inside the horizon of a black hole is so strong, that spacetime bends on itself, so the light will never come beyond the horizon. But also our sun bends spacetime a little, so a light beam will follow that bending; the path will be curved a little. It was one of Einstein's theory achievements that this bending (32 seconds of an arc for a light beam grazing the rim of the sun) was predicted and later experimentally verified by Eddington. So the the curved paths of light and of planets is a consequence of the bending of spacetime by a large central mass. That's why light does not have to have mass to feel gravity. Gravity is a geometrical effect, and one says that Einstein geometrized gravity.
