If you were starting with no applicable background, no engineering degree, nothing except for a lot of free time and a moderate amount of money to spend, how would you become Tony Stark? No limits on time, whether it's 6 months or 60 years, how would you go from Joe the VCR clock programmer to...

Yes, brightness of light and its intensity depend on light wave amplitude, or the height of light waves. Brightness is also somewhat influenced by wavelength.

When designing a circuit you do exactly that - you use formulas and calculations to aid you in controlling the flow of electricity in order to achieve a specific task. However, it is rare that we need to use physics this in depth because for most tasks this level of engineering is not needed...

No, it is a quality of the gravitational field but is not a field in it's own sense.

This is more of a philosophical question with no definite answers. It all depends on how you define existence and it is seemingly impossible to prove anyone solution. I tend to lead more towards the idea that an observer is not needed to "define" a reality but only to conclude a specific...

rede96, I believe your confusion lies in the fact that you are trying to view this from a physical point of view. Erwin Schrodinger developed this thought experiment to show problems with the Copenhagen interpretation of QM. One of those is that superposition cannot be imagined in a physical...
