Thanks for the link, I'm sure the answer to my question is in there but I still don't get it.
If its still moving at speed c in its reference frame then how come its not experiencing time? how can it be in motion and yet not experience time when motion requires time.
Where does the photon "live"
What happens to space-time when you remove the time?
Its said that the photon experiences no time, it seems to be generally accepted that a photon is emitted by one atom and then instantly absorbed by another in its reference frame but this seems paradoxical. If it...
If you set a detector to monitor the first slit in your experiment you observe particles.
What happens if you set a second slit with no detector for the particles to go through, will you observe waves or particles in the second slit experiment?
The expansion of space causes a natural boundary.
Any objects separated in space by a distance that the expansion between them exceeds speed c then they become causally disconnected. In short our visible universe is surrounded by a collapsing event horizon beyond which the known laws of...
I'm assuming that when you say heavier its because its getting bigger, if so then you need to read up on is something called "the square cube law" Basically as something in increases in size its volume increases faster than its surface area and because the scaled up model is made of the same...
The evidence seems pretty conclusive that 13.7 billion years ago an event took place we call the big bang but I wouldn't say they have proof that the universe in its entirety is only 13.7 billion years old. Because time and space are interwoven there is a presumption that before the big bang...
One clever way they use to increase the density of information in fibre optics is to simultaneously use multiple wavelengths of light, each wavelength carries different information.
If you take it to its extremes then at some point the information is going to become quantized, in a sense the intuitive world around you seems analogue but as you look closer and closer it transforms into something that is digital. I'm sure that the physical limitations on information will...
This is exactly the method I have used, it works but its very slow and the time taken to calculate the next decimal place increases exponentially. I was hoping there was some clever trick that would solve the problem, I've searched for solutions but haven't found one I can use in VB2010. ( yeah...

Knowing that the entangled state is broken by taking a measurement and that the particles then develop their own individual properties gives me a profoundly different view of quantum...
This is what I believe intuitively yet it still poses the paradox that I'm now kind of "stuck" at the "end" , once its cut no matter where you stand at that length of string its infinite to the left and finite to the right.
I'm going to be pedantic and say there is no half way point o:) but...
Thanks for the confirmation on loss of entanglement after the first measurement, I must say that when seen on TV this seems to be a fact that I have never heard. I've often wondered what was so special about the claims of entanglement and its not until you realize that the property is broken...
Sorry my knowledge of math comes to an abrupt end after + - x / , does that represent 0 divided by infinity?
If it represents 0 to infinity then the interval is infinite (I think)
For the same reason I can't imagine the universe having an edge I can't imagine an infinitely long piece of string having "ends", at least in my mind the moment I imagine the string having ends it has a definite length stops being infinite. I suppose the cut string is like knowing the first few...
