    Why does magnetic field strength decrease faster than gravity at a distance?

    I think he means 'virtual partice', like in a Feynman diagram?

    Undergrad How Does the Twin Paradox Challenge Our Understanding of Time Dilation?

    That's what happens when you get a biological scientist attempting to translate the physics in his mind, into words that make sense... with actual high-class physicists watching... I'll keep trying, though. *shies and hides*:rolleyes:

    Undergrad How Does the Twin Paradox Challenge Our Understanding of Time Dilation?

    Hey guys! For an object that is in MOTION, as it approaches the speed of light, it causes time to run slower for the object, compared to a stationary object. If the moving object were a person, they would age slower and their stationary identical twin would age faster. This can prove...

    Helium, ZPE, and Casimir Effect

    Good work with the wording, turbo-1. So there you go Blitz, it's all relative!

    Helium, ZPE, and Casimir Effect

    Blitz Kurt, The Casimir effect took me a while to understand, too, but after much conceptualising, I finally got it! Picture this setup: A vessel in which there is a vacuum, no matter (air) and no energy. Inside this vessel, two metal plates are brought into very close proximity (micrometers -...

    Graduate Theoretically Possible: Opening a Wormhole to Another Location

    As far as I'm concerned, in Dr.Calpol3's original post, "Is it?" IS a question, and a perfectly valid one. The answer is: YES. In theory, it is possible to use a wormhole to travel between galaxies etc. The theory requires a source of enormous amounts of mass/energy (remembering that they are...
