I've posted this to soc.culture.russia and
misc.legal.moderated, but noone replied.
Wrong groups, I guess.
I studied Russian in school a long time ago, and

I've just begun to read the elegant universe and have no background in
physics or any of the related fields. As I am reading about relative
motion, force free motion and all that time dialation with differences
in speeds, I began to wonder. Does the Inherant speed of Earths

Physics folks,
I'm not in physics, but I'm making my way through some of the
textbooks for certain business purposes. The author of the text I'm
using (Ohanian) says that the kelvin, ampere and candela can be

How does compton scattering differ from Cherenkov effect?   and
inverse compton scattering?
maybe you just would like to answer directly on wikipedia (the source
of my question) as well as here :-)

The Impossibility of Measuring the Velocity of Light
    The idea that the velocity of light is the same no matter in what
reference frame it is measured is fundamental to the modern sceince of physics.
The premise started with the confusion resulting from failure of the

Some physicists calculate the vacuum energy density as 120 J/m^3.
Can someone give me an equation that tells me how many oscillators of
a given energy there are in each cubic metre. I'm trying to do a
calculation based on

Ark your remark shows the conflict between Bohr and Bohm.
You and Bohr say EVERYTHING is BIT, with no IT.
The one-particle state is BIT, but in Bohm pilot theory the electron is

Has there ever been a double slit experiment done in time rather than
space? In other words, take the usual double slit setup where the slits
are separated in space, and rotate the whole thing so that the slits are
separated in time, rather than space. This would amount to having ...

according to Feynman, positrons are electrons going "backwards in time."
Yet the positrons that exist in nature are existing in nature with the normal arrow.
so is Feynman's interpretation wrong?

In relativistic mechanics the relativistic mass, M, of a particle,
defined by M^2 = (p/v)^2 = m^2 + (p/c)^2, is equal to E/c^2 only in
the limit as its (interaction) potential energy, U, goes to zero.  If
we have an isolated  electron-positron pair on a collision course that

What wavelength of photon in the cosmic microwave background causes a
high energy proton cosmic ray to turn into pions?

I'm trying to clarify my understanding of quark color charge.
It seems to me, that there is a linkage between quark color and electric
charge.
For example, a red up quark has a red color charge of 1 and an electric

Computing to Infinite is it possible?
Now picture the universe as a circle with dotted lines on the outside
these lines represent quantum law and every law that can happen inside
this universe. By the law of our physics only certain statistical

Has anyone ever created Bose-Einstein Condensate? if so did they observe
what was predicted by QM?
Thanks!
