    How does optical density relate to mass density and refractive index?

    Water forms covalent bonds between molecules. Water molecules are closely packed (greater mass density than Kerosene). But Kerosene has more atoms than water per molecule but the molecules more spread out. The result is that stress energy tension (curvature of space) in water is better evenly...

    How can light absorbing material absorb forever?

    Dr. Claude, I want to start a discussion thread on light double slit experiment. It got denied by the forum because it needs to connect that to an existing accepted interpretation of quantum mechanics before it is suitable for discussion. It's not a specific question. It is a new...

    That is the ticket! Many thanks.

    How can light absorbing material absorb forever?

    I apologize for being slow. I still don't get the big picture. We shine a light onto the thin black metal. It is black because it "absorbs" the photons. The theory is that the photons got absorbed as electrons are exited into higher orbits, which almost instantly the electrons bounce back...

    How can light absorbing material absorb forever?

    It is my understanding that a photon is absorbed when the photon's energy is sufficient to excite an electron into a higher energy state. So if I shine a light unto a light absorbing material, let's say a thin black metal, then why the surface never reaches a saturated state? I mean, if we...

    Question on the nature of spacetime

    I think you are on the right track. Here are my two pennies. 1. Gravity/Space/Time mechanics are tied. 2. I do not believe that spacetime is a fabric or property of the universe itself. 3. Particles both produce and absorb space. The rate of production and/or abortion is affected by...
