And finally, you must think we know finance, as we have to try balance a $230,000 loan while making $50,000 at age 30. Now imagine, if you would, having $230,00 dollars in debt with two young children at age 30 and listening to the news with lawmakers saying that doctors are ârichâ and should have their pay cut.Or that âstudies show that doctors lack empathy.â. Unfortunately, we physicians do not have much of a voice on Capitol Hill.nd finally, you must think we know finance, as we have to try balance a $230,000 loan while making $50,000 at age 30.

The first dynamic demonstration that the Earth rotates was the Foucault pendulum. As the Earth rotates the inertia of a pendulum keeps it in as close to the same plane as it can. This is a consequence of Newton's Laws of Motion.
Earth's Rotation. Earth's Rotation and the Apparent Daily Motion of the Sky. The earth rotates about an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles of the planet. This line is called the axis of rotation. Earth rotates about this axis once each day (approximately 24 hours). Although you most likely already knew that fact, there is a slight complication most people are not aware of. More specifically, our rotation period (the time elapsed for one rotation) with respect to the stars is called a sidereal day. A sidereal day is 24 sidereal hours, or 23 hours and 56 minutes on a normal clock. Our clock time is based on the earth's rotation with respect to the sun from solar noon to solar noon.
