Funfact: разница между солнечным светом и искусственным освещением - соотношение количества фотонов с длиной волны красной и синей части видимого спектра, и фотонов остального диапазона излучения. В то время как у солнечного света это соотношение выровнено, используемые в быту источники искусственного света (люминисцентные лампы, лампы накаливания ( Read more... )

"...Humans are the only creatures that can discover advanced mathematics, and the only creatures that can create and formalize music. If the beauty and physics of the universe, and the beauty and physics of music, are linked, the links exist uniquely in human brains. Neuroscientists such as Rick Granger, Gyorgy Buzsaki, and Ani Patel are still ( Read more... )

According to orthodox physics, as enshrined in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, light travels at one speed & one speed only -- it is one of nature's constants. This idea is considered sacred & is one of the foundations of modern physics ( Read more... )

"Turbulence creates sound waves on the sun's surface, similar to the wave patterns generated on a struck bell. I had a big smile on my face after learning that all of the stars in our universe play a tone. The initial sound generated by the primordial plasma became stars, which in turn create sounds. I discovered that a few astronomers started to ( Read more... )

The orbits of the planets, he proposed, played musical notes, which he called tones, whose pitch was dictated both by the speed of the ( Read more... )

Scientists have for the first time separated a particle from one of its physical properties - creating a "quantum Cheshire Cat"The phenomenon is named after the curious feline in Alice in Wonderland, who vanishes leaving only its grin ( Read more... )
