- The marriage of special relativity and quantum mechanics in the 1930s allowed for the prediction of antimatter and soon led to the birth of particle physics via quantum field theory.

5 days ago · By Paul Sutter. published 20 May 2024. Special relativity is beyond weird. Among its many statements are that moving clocks run slow and that moving rulers shrink. But how are we supposed to make...
5 days ago · quantum mechanics, science dealing with the behaviour of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents— electrons , protons, neutrons, and other more esoteric particles such as quarks and gluons.
5 days ago · Because when we are dealing with the electrons behind the working of the light switch and the atoms in the bulb that convert electrical energy to light, causality appears to be a lot fuzzier. In ...
2 days ago · Einstein unified the two ideas by suggesting that photons travel by the propagation of electromagnetic radiation (light waves), giving rise to the modern term wave-particle duality. In the photoelectric effect, low frequency light does not eject electrons from a metal such as Potassium.
4 days ago · The uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known.
May 15, 2024 · On one hand, the study of the role played by spacetime curvature in quantum radiative and informational phenomena has implications for fundamental physics, notably the gravity-quantum interface. In particular, one examines the viability of the Equivalence Principle, which is at the heart of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
2 days ago · We apply a formulation of Einstein's general relativity with only cubic interactions for deriving the metric of a Schwarzschild black hole to all orders in perturbation theory. This cubic interactions formulation coupled to effective worldline action of a massive point particle allows to derive a recursion relation for the form factors of the off-shell graviton emission current. The unique ...
