Does special relativity hold between two inertial reference frames that are undergoing relative acceleration? For example, consider two spaceships traveling toward each other on parallel (but not collinear) trajectories. They would pass each other at some non-zero distance, and thus their...

Thanks to all for the excellent information. I will look through the Cornell paper tonight - it looks to be an interesting read. And the video was great! And I see you what you mean, FedEx... When I said "As the uncertainty of the wavelength increases, the diffraction pattern will...

Well, it sounds like I'm on the right track. It seems that the diffraction pattern would disappear if sufficiently precise measurements were made of the position of the electrons as they go through the slit. As the uncertainty of position is reduced, the uncertainty of the electrons'...

The famous double-slit-experiment has been widely discussed just about everywhere, but I'm wondering about seeing wave-particle duality with a single-slit experiment. This experiment would consist of a source of particles, a screen with a single slit, and a second screen with some sort of...
