    The Young Double-Slit Experiment

    I have basically two doubts regarding diffraction and interference. First of all, according to my CIE A level Physics book, while the double slit experiment results in fringes that are more or less equally separated, a diffraction grating results in fringes that are not equally separated. Why is...

    Space/time curvature of the young universe?

    All over the news we see the results of the recent detection of gravity waves from the early universe. Which got me wondering: The early universe was much more dense than at the present. It therefore seems that spacetime was much more curved than it is, on average, today. Is this...

    Fossil energy sources on a young Earth-like planet

    I'm curious which kind of fossil energy sources could one find on a young Earth-like planet which is in its equivalent of Cambrian era. Yes, I understand it's clearly too early for mining carbon. So presumably peat instead, right? What about oil or natural gas? (EDIT: including more exotic...
