PhysicsAtomic Coherence Atomic Coherence and image processing is a rapidly developing field in physics. Resonant atomic media provide a very convenient platform for proof-of-principle experiments and modelling…
PhysicsTransactional Interpretation Transactional Interpretation is the transaction describing a quantum event as an exchange of advanced and retarded waves, as implied by the work of Wheeler and…
PhysicsQuantum Indeterminacy Quantum Indeterminacy is usually mentioned when one is concerned with the predictability of events. It refers to the same fundamental physics phenomenon as does the…
PhysicsCopenhagen Interpretation Copenhagen Interpretation is the principle known as complementarity, which that the wave and particle nature of objects can be regarded as complementary aspects of a…
PhysicsAfshar Experiment Afshar Experiment gives information about which of two paths a photon takes through the apparatus while simultaneously allowing interference between the two paths to be…
PhysicsTime Dilation Time Dilation turns out that as an object moves with relativistic speeds a “strange” thing seems to happen to its time as observed by “us”…
PhysicsSupplee’s Paradox Supplee’s Paradox is about whether a relativistic projectile, subject to uniform gravitational acceleration, would float or sink underwater. It arises when considering the buoyant force…
PhysicsLadder Paradox Ladder Paradox is a medieval knight riding a charger carrying a lance in place of the ladder, but honestly any long horizontal object will do…
PhysicsEhrenfest Paradox Ehrenfest Paradox is the retardation in the transmission of centripetal accelerations. It is also plays an important role in time desynchronization. It has been deepened…
PhysicsTwin Paradox Twin Paradox is that one of a pair of twins leaves on a high speed space journey during which he travels at a large fraction…
PhysicsTests of General Relativity Einstein proposed three tests of his own tests of general relativity when he first published it in 1915: the precession of Mercury’s orbit, the bending…
PhysicsHafele–Keating Experiment Hafele–Keating Experiment is so tampered with that it could be considered fraudulent. It was a test of the theory of relativity. In October 1971, Hafele…
