Faster than light by a long way

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores a theoretical equation relating the properties of protons to black hole physics, suggesting that protons could be modeled as mini black holes composed of tiny masses and charges. By substituting known constants into the equation, a new speed, v, is calculated to be 10^23 meters per second, significantly exceeding the speed of light. The implications of achieving such a speed, including the potential need for nuclear power, are questioned but not definitively answered. The conversation also touches on the absurdity of comparing energy scales, such as equating an electron-volt to an astronomically high value. Overall, the thread delves into speculative physics regarding mass, charge, and speed in the context of black holes.

If you take the equation for the radius of the event horizon of a black hole and imagine that the mass of a proton is made from lots of tiny masses that form a mini black hole, and that the charge of the proton is made from mini charges that also form a black hole then:


G M/ 3 C^ 2 = K Q / 3 v ^ 2

putting in values for G the gravitational constant , 6.6 x 10^ -11, k the coulomb constant 9.9 x 10 ^ -9, M the mass = 1.6 x 10 ^ -27,
Q the electric charge = 1.6 x 10 ^ -19, C the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 and v is a new unknown speed, the value of v is 10^23 metres per second!

Whether or not you need nuclear power to get to this speed I couldn't say!

!

thats like saying if an Electron-volt was = to 1 x 10^603 that that would be really good :-/
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
