    Light under light gravitational force

    I believe parallel beams traveling in the same direction will not interact, while parallel beams traveling in opposite directions will tend to bend towards one another

    Is the Speed of Light Really Slowing Down?

    If the speed of light was to vary, what would be the speed of propagation of the change itself? And if there were to be a finite speed of propagation from a particular point, what could be the effects? (I guess the context I'm visualizing is analagous to gravitational propagation, because...

    Get Free Electricity in Physics 2 | Physics Forums

    Well in that case he's technically right.. Read up on Tesla's sky capacitor.. Or heck, any way aside from nuclear they use to create energy larhe scale can be done small scale in an 8th grade classroom..

    Electric fields of electron and positron that undergo pair annihilation.

    Thanks, laying in bed last night I realized how wrong I must be.. That explains why..

    Particles vs Fields: What's More Fundamental?

    Have you learned about huygen's principle? Its tough to explain without pics, but it attempts to explain EM propogation.. He said that light waves leaving a light source were the result of tiny wavelets, each radiating out from a point on the wave. I'm probably wrong, but I've always thought...

    Electric fields of electron and positron that undergo pair annihilation.

    But in a formation of a neutron star, wouldn't existing neutrons exert a degeneracy pressure on the protons and electrons (which are not identical particles), while the lower degeneracy pressure between the electrons and protons collapes to form more neutrons.. I realize charge is a major...

    Why does everything electrical we see give its voltage?

    If you pick a moment in time to define the potential of the AC sources relative to ground then for the sake of explanation WRT ground there is positive/negative.. Just important to realize that the 2 'poles' sinusoidally oscilate peak (+110V) to valley (-110) every ~0.01s or so on a 220V...

    Electric fields of electron and positron that undergo pair annihilation.

    So correct interpretation of current theory regarding fermion anhililation doesn't incorporate the Pauli Exclusion principle at all?

    Why does everything electrical we see give its voltage?

    The way modern outlets work in Canada (and I believe the USA) goes like this.. 220V potential comes into a breaker in the form of 1 +110V pole, and 1 -110V pole.. With GND at 0V.. Large appliances that run on 220V get connected to both both poles, thus the potential difference is 220V...

    Electric fields of electron and positron that undergo pair annihilation.

    Considering the two particles would have opposing velocity vectors and equal masses, and that they are both fermions, couldn't the unexplained energy be put to work on a work function that is proportional to KE to decellerate rapidly, almost like a Fermi billiard ball perfect collision?
