    Splitting Photons: What do You Need to Change the Charge?

    I am not that knowledgeable about physics... Correct me if I am wrong and I probably am...Ok If we split a Photon ( I am 90% sure I am talking about Photons) then take the two pieces and separate them they have the same charges, positive or negative. We then can take electricity and change the...

    Splitting an infinite set into two equal infinite subsets.

    So if A is an infinite set, we know that |A|+|A|=|A|. But are we allowed to go backwards, i.e. divide A into two disjoint subsets B and C such that A = B U C, and |B|=|C|=|A|. For the integers and for the reals, this is clear, e.g. R = (-infinity,0) U [0, infinity), each with cardinality c...

    How does the many-worlds interpretation propose that particles physically split?

    Hello everyone, I have spent the last week furiously searching google for explanations of the many world's interpretation of QM. As such I think I have built up a reasonable conception of the theory (for someone at my knowledge level, I am a 1st year physicist) but I cannot for the life of me...

    A few questions about atoms splitting and some about cold fusion

    A few questions about atoms splitting and some about "cold fusion" Ok first I was thinking, when atoms fuse, they release energy, when an atom is split... it releases energy. Now, since energy is not created nor destroyed but only transferers, if you fuse an atom and then split it again, what...

    How Does Partial Fraction Decomposition Apply to Laplace Transforms?

    Basically I don't know how F(s) can be split up to below. F(s) = \frac{1}{s^{2}(s-2)} = \frac{1}{4} ( - \frac{1}{s} - 2 \frac{1}{s^{2}} + \frac{1}{s-2} ) I thought it would be 1/s^2 - 1 / s-2 How does this work? Please explain. thanks

    Many-worlds interpretation: Worlds joining instead of splitting?

    If two branches of the tree eventually came to be identical would they join or would they continue to exist as separate worlds? If they joined, observers in each would remember a different history. Any connection between this and relativity where people observe the same event happening in...

    Understanding the Mechanism of Uranium Splitting in Nuclear Reactions

    Hi, in my environmental chem class at school, we vaguely touched on the subject of nuclear power and such. my question has to do with the splitting of the U235 or 238 atoms in reactors, as well as those in, say, nuclear weapons. my teacher (and diagrams) said that the splitting occurs when the...

    Singlet - triplet splitting in helium

    We're asked to make a rough order of magnitude estimate of this splitting. I know that it is caused by the coulomb interaction between the electrons. Therefore I estimated the potential between them as being V = (e^2)/(4*Pi*epsilon*a) where a =a0/2 a0 is the bohr radius I've assumed that...

    Why Does the H_{\alpha} Line of the Balmer Series Split?

    I need to show the splitting of the H_{\alpha} line of the Balmer series of a Hydrogen atom using the spin hypothesis. Here is my work on this. H_{\alpha} is obtained from the transition of the electron from the third orbit to the second i.e. from n=3 to n=2. Seletion rule for Hydrogen atom...
