photons

Hi, I am wondering how radio works. I have read that radio is a an electromagnetic wave and that electromagnetic waves behave a bit like mechanic waves, like the ones you see in water, but that they are also quite different. I would like to know how an electromagnetic wave that is broadcast by...

At the creation of a pair of entangled particles we can say that the time of creation for each photon is equal, that is for a pair of entangled photons p1 and p2 te1 = te2 = 0 where ten is the creation time of photon n. Here we’re going to use a slightly modified spacetime diagram, in this...

Probably barking completely up the wrong tree here but I'm intrigued to learn the explanation, whatever it is: Taking our main natural light source, the Sun, as an example, assuming photons are particles, and that it's photons emitted from the Sun that excite our retinas, thereby enabling us to...

Care to explore the possibility that the photon as a travelling particle or wave does not in fact exist?

The conclusion of incredibly high energies involved in gamma ray bursts depends on the following premises: The sources are far away. The released energy becomes continuously distributed on an increasing surface (proportional to the distance square from the source). Based on the second premise...

Just a quick dumb question for those Physics minds in-the-know. All of the billions and billions of stars are emitting light, and other, energy constantly and continously (for the most part). Some of this we receive here on our nice planet earth. Obviously most of this tremendous amount of...

Hello all, As mentioned by me in other topics--apart from other points about possible working of homeopathic/TRS remedies, Technicals as Quantum-- Photons, Waves, Gravity etc. are some concept which possibily can be related to it. In the interest of addition to scientific knowledge--we...

Radio Scotland news is full of science today- first a near miss asteroid, now it's the birthday of CERN, which they say is building a new collider to accelerate photons. Slow photons, presumably. Hmmm...
