General and Special Relativity

Myself? No I cannot.

However, particle accelerators do it all the time.

The kinetic energy of two particles smashing into each other becomes several more particles.

Light -- as "pure" an energy as can be imagined -- is often seen as becoming an electron positron pair.

A young plant growing within a seed is called an embryo. This embryo has the potential to develop and grow into a mature plant under the right conditions, such as moisture, warmth, and nutrients.

No; just the opposite. From A's perspective, time has slowed down for B, because of his speed. (This is only measurable for appreciable fractions of the speed of light, but has been measured with super-precise atomic clocks flown around the world in an airliner. )

Curiously, B also perceives that A's time is slower, because from his own perspective, he is standing still while A is moving. And relatively speaking, both perceptions are equally valid! Incorrect. Both perceptions are not equally valid because one frame is an inertial frame of reference while the other is non-inertial. Only the perspective of the inertial (rest) frame is valid.

The sun is about 8.3 light minutes away from Earth. This means that it takes about 8.3 minutes for light to travel from the sun to Earth.

A dark matter microscope is used to indirectly detect and study dark matter by analyzing the impact it has on the distribution of visible matter in space. By observing the gravitational effects of dark matter on visible matter, scientists can infer the presence and properties of dark matter particles.

First, any object with mass (which includes you and me) cannot actually travel at the

speed of light. But you can get very close, in principle. However, assuming you were

moving very, very close to the speed of light, the time you experienced on board your

ship would be exceedingly short. From the perspective of a photon itself, the trip time is

exactly zero.

The theory of Special Relativity gives us a way to calculate the trip time, and the equation

includes a multiplier called the Lorentz Factor, which comes out to zero for the velocity of light.

==========================================

If you and your brother are both wearing wrist watches, and you go flying past him ... the

speed doesn't matter ... and as you pass him you both look at each others' watches, then

you'll say that your brother's watch is running slow, and your brother will say that YOUR

watch is running slow. You'll both be correct, and the faster you fly past him, the slower

each of you will see the other's watch running.

If it were possible for you to sail past him at the speed of light, then he would say that

your watch has stopped, and you would say that HIS watch has stopped. Just as at

any other speed, you would both be correct.

I know it doesn't make sense, but it happens to be true. It's been observed thousands of

times over the past hundred years or so. And a correction for it is built into the GPS system,

to correct the clocks for the speed of the satellites. Otherwise GPS would give flaky and

wrong results.

The energy of a photon is given by the equation E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10^-34 J·s), c is the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength in meters. Converting 310 nm to meters (310 x 10^-9 m) and substituting into the equation gives E = (6.63 x 10^-34 J·s * 3 x 10^8 m/s) / (310 x 10^-9 m). Calculating this gives an energy of approximately 4.02 x 10^-19 Joules.

An atom's electrons typically do not directly affect its radioactivity. Radioactivity is mainly determined by the nucleus of the atom, which contains protons and neutrons. The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus may play a role in the stability of the nucleus, but it is the composition of the nucleus itself that primarily determines an atom's radioactivity.

A space-time prism is a geometric representation of an individual's potential paths through space and time based on their movement patterns and constraints. It shows the limits of where and when a person can travel within a specific period. It helps in visualizing and analyzing mobility patterns and constraints.

1. If the mass of the dead star is high enough, gravity will overcome electron degeneracy pressure holding the dead star up. Electrons will fall from their ground state into the nuclei, turning protons into neutrons and all the nuclei will merge forming a neutron star held up by neutron degeneracy pressure. If it stops here, the infalling outer layers that have not yet become neutrons crash into the super hard surface of the neutron star initiating a shockwave that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.
2. If the mass of the neutron star is high enough, gravity will overcome neutron degeneracy pressure holding the neutron star up. A black hole will form. However all of the neutron star can't fall into the black hole instantly. A shockwave forms just outside the event horizon that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.

The popular theory to resolve the time travel paradoxes is quantum realities; basically, it says that everything that can happen does happen in another quantum reality. Also, when you time travel, you don't go into the past of your timeline; you go into the past of another reality and affect it instead.

Using SI units, energy is expressed in Joules. 1 Joule = 1 kg m2/s2.

The conversion of mass into energy is E/m = c2 = (299,792,458 m/s)2 , which is about 8.9875x1016 Joules per kilogram.

An object has no kinetic energy when it is at rest or not in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, so when there is no motion, there is no kinetic energy present.

As of our current understanding of physics, it is not possible to travel faster than the speed of light. Even in millions of years, it is unlikely that we will find a way to break this fundamental limit imposed by Einstein's theory of relativity. Innovation may bring advancements in space travel, but exceeding the speed of light remains beyond our reach.

No, the loud sound of fireworks would not be able to open up a garage door. Garage doors are typically opened and closed using a motorized mechanism or manually through a control panel or remote, and are not influenced by sound vibrations.

The merger of quantum mechanics with the special theory of relativity is commonly known as quantum field theory. According to this theory every particle of matter is just an excitation of a field that is everywhere in space. There is a different field for every different particle (this is not really true, but close enough).

You might already be familiar with electromagnetism. In that theory (which has now been completely absorbed into quantum field theory) electric and magnetic forces are transmitted via photons. These photons are just excitations of the photon field.

A photon has no mass, but all particles can be thought as as being excitations of fields. There is for example an electron field, but also a neutrino field and a muon field.

The speed of light was predicted before it was ever measured. If you write the

differential equation of a wave, there's a very definite place in the equation where

the speed of the wave appears.

The Scottish Physicist James Clerk-Maxwell took four equations of electricity and

magnetism that had been discovered by earlier scientists, and succeeded in

mashing them together to come up with the equation of an electromagnetic wave.

Right there in the spot where the wave speed should be was the quantity

[ (electrostatic permittivity of space) x (magnetic permeability of space) ] .

Both of those properties of space had been kind-of measured by Maxwell's time,

but now it suddenly became very urgent to go back and work on measuring them

with the utmost accuracy ... and at the same time, to figure out a way to measure

the speed of light. Because if that quantity could be shown to match the real speed

of light, then we would know that light is an electromagnetic wave, and that Maxwell's equation for it is an accurate mathematical description of it.

You asked "Why is that the speed of light ?" The answer is: Because light is an

electromagnetic wave, therefore its speed is determined by those two properties

of free space, and the values of those two properties of space happen to be

such and such."

Now, we can almost hear you asking "Why are the values of those two characteristics

of space the numbers that they are, and not a bit more or less ?"

All we can tell you is that there are cosmologists who are actually working on that

esoteric question, along with the question of why other properties of the universe (For example, the gravitational constant.) are the numbers that they are. One realization that has emerged is the fact that if a few of the constant numbers of nature were just slightly different from what they actually are, then life would not be possible.

An hot air balloon i think.

The apparent force of gravity on earth is not the same all over, the spin of the earth means that you weigh less at the equator than at the poles, due to the centripetal force from the earths spin. You will weigh about 0.3% less at the equator. If the earth spun faster still, this difference would be even more apparent.

Here are some materials that are all tied for the title. Everything on this list is free.

You may have to pay somebody to collect it and bring it to you, and he may have to

buy some expensive machinery and pay some workers to do the collecting. But right

there at the source, nobody ever pays anything for these materials:

-- air

-- water

-- oil

-- coal

-- gold

-- silver

-- aluminum

-- iron

-- copper

-- mercury

-- uranium

-- lead

-- magnesium

-- salt

-- sulfur

-- helium

-- natural gas

-- wood

-- top soil

-- lettuce

-- cotton

Creating a time machine is currently considered to be scientifically impossible due to various challenges in physics and our current understanding of time. Time travel introduces paradoxes such as the grandfather paradox, where altering the past could lead to contradictions. Additionally, the amount of energy and technology required to manipulate time on a macroscopic scale is beyond our current capabilities.

Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate because they rely on the vibration of molecules. In a vacuum, there are no molecules for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate, resulting in the absence of sound.

In that case, the graph would be a straight line.
