Im looking to do a little research on the effects of magnetism on photons. Can someone point me in a good direction to start? Any rare phenomena that is worth mentioning concerning this subject? Also, I read a while ago that scientists can bend light around small objects and make them invisible...
If energy in a collision is over 511kev, does that mean it would be possible for many lower frequency photons (i.e visible light or radio waves) to collide at a single point and have the combined enrgy over 511kev and result in particles?
When Gamma Rays collide it is possible to form various units of matter (ie proton, electron, etc). Does anything happen when photons collide that are of other frequencies other then a ricochet? If X-Rays collide with other x-rays does anything happen? Also, if anything does happen, what would...
Has dark matter been observed to exist in quantities that correlate with the apparent observed mass or overal volume of gallexy/ star clusters? I'm wondering if dark matter is distributed in relative even amounts based on given characteristics or if it is thought to be random/unknown.
2 closely orbiting massive objects are predicted to deserve the fabric of spacetime so much that they will release a ripple of gravitational waves. When geavitational waves are released, they slowly loose velocity energy and spiral into one another. 2 pulsars were discovered orbiting each other...
Einstein predicted a slightly quicker orbit for planets very close to the sun that will deviate from Newton’s gravitational laws very slightly. Later observations, as we know, have proved correct and General Relativity holds up. But what is the perceived reason as to why this is? What is the...
I'm sorry zapper if you will get utterly confused with the question of what are mysteries of the universe in a thread first about the answeres behind the mysteries of the universe. Guess you'll have to lock this thread now because I'm not retracting the above question.
No, I am in agreeance that the big bang wasn't an explosion per se. In my mind it is logical to think of the big bang as described by traditional science, except replace a singularity with a massive object and then inflation (a phenomenon that sticks out to me) would not need to be assumed to...
