Time Dilation Due to Gravity
According to general relativity, clocks slow down in the presence of massive bodies. This is known as time dilation due to gravity. The effect of gravity is in other
Time Dilation Due to Velocity
All physical processes, including radioactive decay, slow down for bodies at high speeds. This phenomenon is known as time dilation, or to be
How Matter Dies
Empty space will produce electrons and positrons if subjected to a sufficiently strong electrical force. Ordinary matter can thus be produced out of the vacuum of space. However, the appearance of this matter is short lived. Most of the electron-positron…
The Size of Muons and Protons
Morton Spears’ calculations on the relative sizes of neutrons, protons and electrons leave us with two separate ways to describe the size of particles.
Nuclear Binding Energy
In the physics presented here, energy is modelled as size at the subatomic. Specifically, it's the surface area of subatomic particles. Mass-energy equivalence So, a stretched surface translates into an increase in energy. It also translates into an increase in…
Relative Sizes of the Neutron, Proton and Electron
Onar Åm, who prompted me to embark on my journey into physics some seven years ago, has repeatedly criticized me
