right hand of the law
In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a common mnemonic for understanding orientation of axes in three-dimensional space. It is also a convenient method for quickly finding the direction of a cross-product of 2 vectors.
Most of the various left-hand and right-hand rules arise from the fact that the three axes of three-dimensional space have two possible orientations. One can see this by holding one's hands outward and together, palms up, with the fingers curled, and the thumb out-stretched. The curl of the fingers represents a movement from the first (x axis) to the second (y axis), then the third (z axis) can point along either thumb. Left-hand and right-hand rules arise when dealing with coordinate axes. The rule can be used to find the direction of the magnetic field, rotation, spirals, electromagnetic fields, mirror images, and enantiomers in mathematics and chemistry.
The sequence is often: index finger, then middle, then thumb. However, two other sequences also work because they preserve the cycle:
Middle finger, then thumb, then index finger.
Thumb, then index finger, then middle (e.g., see the ninth series of the Swiss 200-francs banknote).
Hi, up for sale is an BNIB, unfired, Taurus Judge Public Defender in "coyote brown", chambered in 410./45LC. It's a far darker color than the FDE version. I think it looks pretty neat, esp with the red fiber optic front sight (maybe even more tacticool 😎 lol). These hand cannons are criminally...
