does anyone know why, in order to conserve flux, the amplitude of a cylindrical wave varies inversely with its radius?
I know the equation for a cylindrical wave is \frac{A}{\rho^{1/2}}e^{i(k\rho\pm\omega t)} , but how does this relate to conserving the flux?
The main reason for my...
Doesn't that theory involve quantum mechanics where anti-particles and particles are randomly created by quantum probability "jitters" that then almost immediately annihilate each other, momentarily making really tiny black holes? Or and I confusing theories with each other?
I'm currently a junior in college and had the same debate with myself before deciding to settle on physics. I'm glad I did, the majority of college's will help you find a job after you graduate. Also, I decided I was going to settle for a smaller salary and just get my bachelors before I got to...
you wouldn't 'feel' like you were aging any slower or faster than usual, you would be aging normally (from your own perspective), but when you leave whatever situation is causing time dilation and returned to your original state in the universe, 200 years (or whatever amount of time) would have...
nothing can exceed the speed of light WITHIN space - objects that are moving away from us faster than the speed of light aren't moving through space, but the space that is between us is "stretching" - there is no limit on how fast space itself can move or expand, only on how fast things can move...
