    The Double Slit Experiment: A Fascinating Introduction to Quantum Physics

    It doesn't make it accessible, it just twists it and exaterates it until it makes it sound like you can win the lotery by just thinking about it when you wake up. That makes perfect sense, if you can collapse a wavefunction by measuring it, that also means you can completely manipule and affect...

    Why is the speed of light constant in special relativity?

    Im all well and good with the relativity of simultaneity, I just didnt mention it because I didnt think it was relavent to my problem. Thanks though. Yes, it was my flaw to say running next to it, because that is impossible. Let's just say he was running 99.99%. Either way, they will both...

    Why is the speed of light constant in special relativity?

    Well that's dissapointing, thanks for an answer. Yea, it is kind of sad. But he/she doesn't teach anything higher than 8th grade, so I don't think he/she really needs to know that kind of thing. So what if I ask them both where the photon was at one particular time, they would both give...

    Light shone in a train bouncing off mirrors

    The idea behind this is that the laws of physics are exactly the same if you are moving with a constant velocity as opposed to you not moving at all. So although the person on the platform will indeed see the photons direction changed (like the poster above me said, direction is not...

    The Double Slit Experiment: A Fascinating Introduction to Quantum Physics

    Ironically, its that same movie that made me become so interested in physics. I saw that movie about 1 year ago and ever sinse then I have been studieng that sort of thing nonstop. Ironically I see now that the movie, well, might have over exaderated QM a little bit. No that its any less...

    Why is the speed of light constant in special relativity?

    Lately I have been studieng up on my Theoretical Physics. I feel I have a pretty good understanding of SR, but there are still some holes that nobody, not even my science teacher can help me out with (Im only in 8th grade, so Its not a big surprise that my teacher has no idea... no offense...
