Hi PAllen,
Thanks for taking the trouble to read the "Rod shortening of General Relativity" thread to understand my question better. My questions relate to two single charges of sufficiently different masses to ensure that one charge remains stationary. In the theoretical absence of any other...
Hi Guys,
Your previous insights on the thread regarding gravitational rod shortening along the radial axis really helped me to have a naive but practical idea of what GR is about.
The next step in my thought process seems to be whether the EM force could induce rod shortening. The force...

I would like to pose a question with regard to the radial shortening of a charged object (say negative) being...
As a "popular physicist" I find the Flowing Space model extremely useful. It ties in with Einstein's insistence that the free falling frame is inertial. With the modern developments ascribing energy and various fields to "vacuum" I cannot understand the way everybody treads so lightly around the...
After long consideration of the simplistic radial formulae obtained for the theoretical case proposed at the outset of this thread, it appears that the rod shortening and time dilation at a certain gravitational potential are the same as the rod shortening and time dilation that would be...
Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply. I think I follow what you are saying, but you use the words "element" and "other scattering object". This narrows my question. How can an interference of EM waves diffract or scatter waves from the point of interference? The light we see must be scattered...
Hi Guys,
When the eye sees an object, there has to be light reflecting from or emitting from the object itself. How does this happen with a hologram? Does the interference pattern actually scatter the light so we can see it?
Hi Guys,
I came across this article by Jikang Chen and it is of importance to me to know what measure of credibility this concept holds in the general physics fraternity. I do not have the background to make sense of the mathemetics or physics cited. I would appreciate your comments.
The...
Hi PhilDSP,
Perhaps you are referring to atoms with orbitals. These subatomic particles have weights that are on the same scale as a gamma ray photon. Is it possible that they could emit photons nearly their own weight?
When I say non-interacting, I mean in the sense of the particle binding with other particles. Any EM radiation would either destroy such small particles or be absorbed. If the energy were absorbed these tiny particles would probably emit the energy pretty promptly. It is this emission that I...
