I'm looking for a conceptual explanation of a formula in Quantum Mechanics Demystified introduction. They introduce you to the theoretical black body radiation experiment, where demonstrated how a classical approach leads to the ultraviolet catastrophe. In the explanation they have the...

In the https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=43685" which helped shed some light on the questions we had. On the page: http://pdg.web.cern.ch/pdg/particleadventure/frameless/unseen.html It is quoted: "What we normally think of as "forces" are actually the effects of force carrier...

I remember being taught that all accelerating charges give off electromagnetic radiation (correct me if I'm wrong). So in this case, would both protons radiate an electromagnetic field, with its strength relative to the magnitude of acceleration/deceleration at a given point?

Excellent set of questions. I am interested in knowing the response to these too.

I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of how two particles such as protons interact with each other. In high school physics, I was told that they give off a field, which is felt by the charges, and then repels them. My first question is, if I fire two protons at each other head on (lets...
