1) The speed of light is an absolute. 2) Light slows down when it passes through a medium (like water, glass, air, …). The first statement is the backbone of all of modern physics (relativity), and the second helps explain things likediffractionandrainbows. But cle...
Looking at you concept upside down, if one your photons happened to have mass (impossible) and was able to travel at light speed, it would not only strip the paint off your space ship, it would destroy the universe with the burst of its infinite Energy. And there would be no one a...
but the actual speed oflightis unchanged. However, iflighttravels through a material, such as a glass plate, it will slow down. This is because the particles in the medium will scatter thelight, scattering off molecules. In other words, photons don’t slow down, because they’re ...
Polarizers are placed in front of each slit, and they can be aligned parallel or perpendicular. When parallel, no useful information is present in the polarization of photons passing though each slit; interference is enabled. When perpendicular, the polarization of photons p...
the electromagnetic force. Sunlight creates charges in proteins and light controls things with charges added and subtracted to them. Photons control all things with charges. This is why photons are known as the force carrier of the electromagnetic force. Life is electromagnetic at its very core....
Like dustmaids down a drafty hall Or photons through a sheet of glass. They snub the most exquisite gas, Ignore the most substantial wall, Cold shoulder steel and sounding brass, Insult the stallion in his stall, And, scorning barriers of class, Infiltrate you and me. Like tall And painle...
Let’s say photons made positron/electron WAVES during this massive expansion phase. Pair production. Though every positron and electron made at the same time would annihilate each other – those made later would not be able to annihilate the earlier ones because they would be s...
