It is my understanding of black holes that nothing can escape them because their escape velocity is higher than the speed of light. The place at which the escape velocity becomes higher than the speed of light is known as the event horizon. My question is what happens if there is a normal force...
If I understand the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment correctly, it's essentially set up in the manner as the double slit. The only difference is that the detectors are set up in front of the double slits.
It was thought that if there was an interference pattern that appeared then that...
This post will be using assumptions that are within the Copenhagen interpretation.
If I understand decoherence, the superposition of the wave function will crash upon interacting with a microscopic system.
However what really constitutes as a superposition interacting with a system? I thought...
That post was addressing the gravitational affects regarding two objects.
My question deals with 3 objects.
In my example stated above, we have two objects being attracted to a main attractive object.
However I'm wondering if the greater mass of those two objects would be attracted more and...
I believe that I was being vague in my question. Sorry about that.
Although I do understand your responses and I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me. :)
My question is as follows.
Let's say that a dust particle and a sun are approaching a black hole at the middle of our galaxy.
I...
Hey thanks for the responses. I still have a few questions however.
In regarding the smaller mass object, what occurs if the two masses are the same?
I also interpreted your result as saying that no matter how close the smaller m is to the mass of the big M, it doesn't matter as long as it's...
Alright so I've learned that in a vacuum two objects, irrespective of mass, fall at the same speed. This however doesn't make since to me, because I've also learned that on the moon objects fall at a different speed then on Earth due to the gravitational pull.
This seems to imply that the...
