There are times when performing mental experiments on the properties of space and matter where I have difficulty distinguishing the two from one another. Most times it's easier to assume particles as having a sort of mathematical physical structure, almost like marbles without surface...

I think what it is that bothers me the most about these statements is that assumptions are required to make these statements true. At least, that's what I'm gathering so far. Would it be logically incorrect to say that there is a possibility that photowave mechanics were not fully understood...

Firstly, Layman speaking here. Possibly a moderately self educated layman who has yet to explore certain fundamental areas of the topic to have a full understanding of it. So please understand when I ask questions that I'm asking for my own edification, rather than to try and appear smarter...

I don't mean to push this topic into an undesired direction, however I think an examination of the other side of the concept could shed some... light... on a few questions some of us have tucked away in our minds: If the double-slit proved wave-like properties of light.. what was it that...

Also consider that you actually can get a reverse reaction from a basic electrolytic cell. It's going to be a very weak power generator because you're getting diffusion of the gases across both electrodes (and releasing much of the gas as waste) however. It's brought down to the micro level...

Another way to try and understand it is to consider a hydraulic cycle as a metaphor. The hydraulic system is pumping a fluid around in a loop. Where does the hydraulic fluid come from? It's beside the point when you consider that the actual work is done by the PRESSURE, and not the fluid...

So you believe that if you keep traveling in one direction, you'll eventually arrive at the point where you began? If this were the case, then I can understand the analogy-- but I'm not convinced that this is the case, so I have difficulty with the balloon analogy.

I fall into the category as some of the other folks as not being fully capable of understanding the concept that the universe does not have a center.. I mean, all objects have a center of mass, so too should the universe? Therefore, if all objects in the universe are expanding away from one...

here's something to think on; Light is really nothing more than a range of electromagnetic wave frequencies that our biological optic nerves can detect. If we then decide that electromagnetic waves of all frequencies were a form of light.. or rather, if we throw out the notion of light...

Not only that, but there's a delicate balance between Geothermal energy as well. We generate our own heat, the sun gives us heat, and we (Earth) must emit an equal amount of that energy in the form of UV radiation at the same rate in order to avoid becoming a planetary oven like Mercury and...
