    A Real image of a sawtooth standing wave in a musical string?

    As you have already seen plucking or even drawing a bow across the string (which is in actuality vibrating up and down perpendicular to the string is not going to render the effect you are after. Apparently, no one has actually tried to do this; or, if they have either they haven't been...

    Can a photon attract another photon?

    This is still not the exact video I have seen in the past of a red laser being diverted, but it makes the point:

    Can a photon attract another photon?

    I did ask to be corrected if I was wrong. I had mistakenly thought that since the emissions were electromagnetic waves then their interaction/interference was a direct result of their electromagnetic properties. A laser beam can be diverted by placing a permanent magnet near it. Is there no...

    Can a photon attract another photon?

    Here is a good one: http://www.radartutorial.eu/06.antennas/Phased%20Array%20Antenna.en.html A simple Google search on "3D Electronic Beem Steering" will bring up a wealth of information on the subject.

    Can a photon attract another photon?

    , Please correct me if I am wrong, but I am interpreting, and extrapolating the answer your question to be directly analogous to 'electronically steering a radar beam' by applying stronger excitation to the emitters opposite the direction you want the beam to be steered. Radar waves of...

    B Can we truly understand the concept of time?

    If you think about it 'time' is a 'consequence' of an object's existence and it's relative speed in 'this' physical universe. 'Time' is not observable until an object shows up in this universe. To answer your question the 'movement of 'time' is not taking place at all. 'Time' is also NOT an...

    How do we know electromagnetic waves are light?

    EM waves are 'energy' in a basic form. I am assuming that the unfiltered full spectrum of EM waves which come from the sun, for example, are the 'EM Waves' to which you are referring. When EM waves strike some 'thing' they are either absorbed, reflected or pass through that object; or, some...

    What force is preventing car wheel bolts from being removed?

    If this is a 'real world' problem and not a sterile academic assignment then you are probably missing the fact that corrosion has actually fused the nut to the bolt; and, until you can apply enough force to actually shear the metallic bond then no other forces are going to come into play.

    I Why is the time of formation of this Black Hole in question?

    I have to 'question' the logic asked in the 'title question' asked in this artical: https://newatlas.com/most-distant-supermassive-black-hole/52508/?utm_source=Gizmag+Subscribers&utm_campaign=2151ebbb0d-UA-2235360-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_65b67362bd-2151ebbb0d-91583997 It seems to me that...

    How do living beings evolve in a universe with increasing entropy?

    How do living beings evolve in a universe with increasing entropy?

    Having read several articles on nanosystems, which defy the 2nd law; I have to wonder if a macro system comprised of multiple linked nanosystems could produce more output than input? And if not, why not? If searching for the articles I found, include this in your search...

    Why Are Refrigerators More Complex Than Stoves?

    Something which is NOT being considered here is that different materials have a fixed thermal coefficient of conductivity, and the rate, at which a materail 'gives up', or 'takes on' thermal energy is GREATLY affected, by the surface area of contact between the two materials in question. When...

    B Trying to understand the double-slit experiment

    Speaking as someone with considerably LESS, than a 'beautiful mind', I have pondered this particular question; but, I have produced nothing I can claim as being a definative answer. However, I do have a thought on one aspect of the behaviour of photons; of which, I would appreciate any...

    Do patents inhibit development in the technology?

    Inventors who must survive, and who don't have the funding to manufacture, or are not even able to pay to have it done are pressured all the time, into selling out to companies, which have no intention of doing ANYTHING with it, if ever; or, until their own patents run out! Seeing as an inventor...
