Hi! I always thought that tunneling was a quantum phenomenum. So another day I found a problem which is about the part of the light that can be transmitted (refracted) even if you send I light beam in an angle greater then the limit angle of two material boundary. By the way looking at a...

http://www.planetfusion.co.uk/~pignut/tlp.html also see http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/farout/story/0,13028,1315487,00.html When I saw this I thought about the Astronaut who while orbiting the moon saw a flashing light on the dark side. He reported the light and was told to watch on the...

Or does it exist outside the physical universe? This is a little old, but it seems there’s a lot of confusion surrounding this topic. Not only that but it seems consciousness has only been brought back into science since quantum mechanics was introduced. Wasn’t sure where to post this so...

whats the difference between prominences, solar flares, and CME's?

For your amusement. For obvious reasons I assume this is completely bogus. http://www.amasci.com/greb/greb2.html

I am curious to read personal anecdotes any of you may have about physical phenomena that are not seen very often. I don't mean deliberate observations in a laboratory setting. Just something that happened when you were not expecting it. For instance, supposedly the sun as it is setting (or...

The book we are using (Physics 101) has shown quit well that there will be a greater quantity of heat loss (and faster), of a substance to it’s environment, if the difference of temperatures between the two is greater. Also, there will be initially a faster rate of heat loss / time...

In Chapter 6 (A new state of matter: foggoid state) of the Antigravitation Engine Site, the quantum phenomenon on different scales is studied as follows. 12. Step roads and quantum phenomena on different scales According to the quantum theory, the geodesic curve is a broken line in the...
