AI Thread Summary
Joao Magueijo's work on faster-than-light theories explores how altering constants can impact our understanding of light and photons. The discussion highlights that light can be accelerated in certain mediums, such as helium gas, and that some manmade materials can slow or stop light. Participants ponder the implications of these findings on existing theories and whether they necessitate a reconfiguration of current scientific ideation. The conversation emphasizes the need for mathematical descriptions to adapt to these new variables. Overall, the exploration of faster-than-light concepts continues to challenge traditional physics.

Faster than the speed of light

have you seen this guys work :smile:
Faster than the speed of light
by Joao Magueijo,

minimally :-p the ideation alters multiple"constants"

if you read it or know more
please let me know :eek:
 
Science news on Phys.org
new variables if "faster than the speed of light

hello mr gray
author JOAO MAGUIjO
have you read
"faster than the speed of light" or theories similar

i read several years ago light in a helium gas was accelerated post constant
also some manmade compounds are able to slow or stop light
if the variables are indeed alterable

how would this affect your descriptions of light /photons
 
different constants if e is >standard speed

theories of light accelerated

seem to have to
mathematically describe the variables differently :surprise:

can you reconfigure your gray ideation to comply :zzz:
 
a book to find here's some stuff

the book that i read was
faster than the speed of light

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...
