Polarized Light from Stars and Galaxies
When we see polarized light from our Sun and stars alike, we know that magnetism has been involved. This is because magnetic fields have
Photons and Time
It is well know that physical processes slow down at high speeds. Energy transfers take more time. Clocks grind to a halt. The explanation for this can be found in how energy is transferred between objects of inertial matter. Energy…
The Michelson-Morley Experiment
I received an e-mail from a man named Jean de Climont a few days ago. It was about the Michelson-Morley experiment and how it ought to
Memory in Nature
Memory is fundamental to nature. Everything we see around us is an image of the past. Everything that happens in the present is the result of something that happened in the past. The speed of light This is due to…
How Pink Floyd Corrupted the Optics Debate
Pink Floyd's famous album, the Dark Side of the Moon, has an illustration of a prism on its cover where white light is broken into different colors. This iconic image is beautiful in its simplicity, attracting the attention of anyone curious about…
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. Faraday discovered this back in 1845 that, and it has been common knowledge ever since. However, no similar effect occurs when photons
Polarizing Filters
This post is in response to this YouTube video where polarizing filters are explained based on principles from conventional quantum mechanics. As we can see from the video, clear polarizing glass lets through a surprisingly large percentage of regular light,…
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
