Polarized Light from Stars and Galaxies
Magnetic fields have polarizing effects on light, and it is through this effect that we know that all stars, including our Sun, have strong
Photons and Time
It’s well know that physical processes slow down at high speeds, and I propose an explanation for this in my chapter on kinetics. The faster something
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
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
