Question: Time in Zero Velocity as Opposed to Light-Speed

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between time and velocity, particularly how time behaves as velocity approaches absolute zero compared to light-speed. Participants note that while time dilation is well understood at high speeds, the implications of zero velocity are less clear. There is a suggestion to apply the same formulas used for time dilation at high speeds to analyze time at rest. The conversation highlights a gap in understanding regarding time's behavior at absolute zero. Overall, the inquiry seeks clarity on the effects of velocity on time across the spectrum from light-speed to absolute zero.

Hello everyone,
Since it is well as established that time moves slowly as the velocity approaches light-speed, what happens when velocity "aspires" (not sure this is the correct phrase, as I'm translating directly from my native language) to an absolute zero?
If there's a formula or another topic which regards the same subject it will be most appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Good day to you all!

Why is this a problem or unknown? We already about Galilean transformation!

Why not examine the same 'formula' that tells you how time 'slows down' at high speed and see what happens when the speed is zero?

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...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

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...
