How Pink Floyd Corrupted the Optics Debate
Pink Floyd’s famous album the Dark Side of the Moon has on its cover an illustration of a prism breaking white light into different colours.
Pilot Waves and the Aether
The double slit experiment, when applied to single photons traveling one by one through a double slit barrier, proves that there is self interference
Photons and Static Electricity
Photons get polarized by magnetic fields. This has been known since Faraday made this discovery back in 1845. However, no similar effect occurs when photons
Polarizing Filters
This post is in response to this YouTube video in which polarizing filters are explained based on principles from conventional quantum mechanics.
As we can see
Two Types of Aether
James Maxwell modeled light as waves, and required for this an aether to propagate the waves. However, ever since the discovery of the photon, there has not been any need
Pilot Waves vs. Wavelengths
The standard explanation for how Faraday cages work is that the metal mesh from which it is constructed will let through only those
Two Angstrom Towards the Blue End
The blues-shift of deuterium relative to hydrogen can be calculated from standard theory. It can also be confirmed in laboratory experiments.
Homer’s Wine Dark Sea
It was not until about 4500 years ago that humans first gave a name to the color blue. The first ones to do so were the Egyptians who knew how to produce blue dye.
Pilot Waves and Refraction
Pilot wave theory can be used to explain the double slit experiment. It also helps explain how mirrors can reflect photons so perfectly.
The presence of a pilot
Polarization Through Reflection
When light hits a highly reflecting surface, like a mirror, no energy is lost. The bounce of the photons off the atoms that make up the mirror is perfectly elastic.
