    Graduate Photon Mass: Debunking the Myth of Zero Mass in SR Equation

    you never know. photons are supposed to have only impuls mass (pressure of light) however lightwaves still change direction in a strong gravitational field. I am very doubtful about relativistic formulas anyway...

    High School Are There Metals in the Air Affected by Gravity?

    We don't know yet. However it may turn out to be one of the moving mechanisms too. Judging by the way sattellites behave it may be that gravity force has a multiple nature, i.e. it could be that the vector of the gravity force would not be described as a straight line. Imagine a globe...

    High School Temperature - is that the right word?

    Two factors of temperature: Movement of atoms within their cage - transfer motion impulses on contact and therefore transfer heat. Radiaton: Infra red or any other that can leave the heater and conduct impulses to anything so that atoms within the object being heated move faster, i.e. it...

    Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?

    Time doesn't etist. Any movement is triggered by anything but time itself. On one hand time truly has no meaning or point to exist, but yes, it is questionable. We are forgetting one moment. All definitions currently used in physics are separated into definitions themselves to HELP our...

    Undergrad How Big is a Photon and What are its Dimensions?

    No-one said it's a point particle. It cannot be a point particle because inbetween its emission and absorption points it is in motion at C. It can have a location, because any ray of light can be located. Ultimate conclusions that something "cannot be done" are limits of the accepted theory...

    Undergrad How Big is a Photon and What are its Dimensions?

    True and not. As much as anything. We are based on the knowledge of approximate nature that is few decades old. It doesn't mean it is wrong - it is developing. We won't ever know if we will never know. As it was just said: "within" -- is all it is. More alternative approaches give us a better...

    Undergrad How Big is a Photon and What are its Dimensions?

    I think you are very close to finding your own answer. Optical devices cannot be used for observation of photons because they use photons as a "bounce off" partice for imaging purposes. It we had means of control over a free moving EM frield interacting particle much smaller than any estimated...

    High School What type of particles is fire made up of?

    Challenging idea, Bingo! Well whatever is the fire itself made of, the final result is sut, water, etc. etc.

    Undergrad How Big is a Photon and What are its Dimensions?

    It is essentialy an empty space. Current understanding is that in any case it is a complex multidimentional combination of EM field of various intensity spread within an unprecisely defined space, a worm that has very "blurry" head and tail and consists of EM field variations... Again...

    Graduate Does Gravity Affect Antimatter Differently Than Matter?

    Gravity will remain in darkness until we catch a gravitone if there is such thing, the preposition that antimatter may create antigravity comes from the well known quantum understanding " cliche' " of our world prevailing from the times of Einstein. If there is a gravitone we cannot catch it...

    High School What type of particles is fire made up of?

    Anything that burns, it can be carbon, hydrogen, Na natrium (burns in water) plus oxygen or any other agent that acts like oxygen. Flame is a mainly gaseous chemical reaction aura around any material that reacts with any agent like oxygen creating excess heat.

    Undergrad Can Infinite Density in Black Holes Imply Infinite Mass?

    How can BH mass be concentrated in a space of zero volume if it has what it seems to be visual borders and diameter, if it was a zero volume then we just would not see the thing... In the end no-one has ever been close to one...

    High School How do you draw a model of an atom?

    Quite simple. But you would need a fairly large piece of paper. The most real theory says it looks like a dot (nucleus) surrounded by bubbles of various forms (electrons spread alond their orbits) that cover the dot in layers.

    Graduate Does Gravity Affect Antimatter Differently Than Matter?

    Right. Because we are humans we always need to "touch it" and play with it to be sure. Antimatter is not an exclusion.
