We can calculate the blueshift of deuterium relative to hydrogen from standard theory, and we can confirm this with laboratory experiments. In both cases, we get that the light spectrum of deuterium has a blueshift of 2 angstrom relative to…
Humans first gave a name to the color blue about 4500 years ago. The first ones to do so were the Egyptians who knew how to produce blue dye.
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
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.
In one of his books, the author Henry Berg makes the observation that there is something profoundly strange about mirrors.
How is it that a surface made up of atoms can perfectly
Gravity is known to affect the energy of photons. But it isn't immediately clear how this happens. Especially if we don't have a clear idea of what energy is. Let us therefore start with some basics regarding the nature of…
Contrary to popular belief, modern science is full of contradictions and unsolved puzzles, and it does not take more than mild curiosity to uncover these problems.
The rainbow is fairly easy to understand in terms of particles. Many people have explained this phenomenon excellently before me, so I’m not going to
If light is a wave and glass is something that changes the wavelength of light as it moves through it, then Snell’s Law should apply.
Blue light, associated with short wave lengths
Most people will agree that there can only be one reality. There can only be one explanation to the physical world as we know it. Even if we believe in multiple realities, there has to be a single explanation to…
