You cannot seriously suggest that this idea is new ;-). Read more about recoil and emission at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mössbauer_effect Well, is it really the same? Assume a isolated system of one atom in a energy transition 1. In a strong alpha emission, the emitting nucleus will...

mfb said "The photon goes in a single specific direction - the direction is random but the emission cannot be isotropic for a single atom". Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/does-electromagnetic-radiation-actually-carry-kinetic-energy.802609/#post-5040710 Have any recoil been...

There does not have to be a gamma emission. Which "expanding room" do you mean? Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/does-electromagnetic-radiation-actually-carry-kinetic-energy.802609/#post-5040710 Electromagnetic energy is purely kinetic energy, as there is no rest mass...

Well, I’m a laymen in math….. If imagine an external view of an isolated system of decaying isotope, the energy is conserved and Newtonian physics should be correct? The kinetic energy of escaping alpha particle and repelling nucleus, plus the escaping gamma energy would equal the loss of...

Hi dave, Sweden

Hi all, Does electromagnetic radiation actually carry kinetic energy? Looking around the web gives different answers. I have seen explanations like radiation pressure experiments as evidence, but this has been argued being effects from energy absorbed by the recipient. In case it does not...

Uuups didint see that - no tears here
