A neutron (udd) decays to a proton (uud), an electron,
and an antineutrino. .... IOW, the beta decay lets the
neutron "reincarnate" as a stable set of a proton and
an electron and an a-nu plus the respective kinetic

"Communicating at Translight Velocities"
    In the 19th century, science had concluded that reality was
based upon the Aether, a rigid medium that pervaded all of space. The Aether
was

"General Relativity Examined"
    In 1915 Dr. Einstein published the General Theory of
Relativity. It accepted the Principle of Relativity (the laws and constants

"The Right Angle Lever Paradox"
    The "Right Angle Lever Paradox" is a classic construct which is taught
in most courses in Special Relativity. As with all paradoxes, it reveals
that and error has been made in our thinking. It may be interesting then to

"Is There a Force of Gravity?"
    In undergraduate physics, the Newtonian concept of an attractive force
between masses that is proportional to the product of the masses divided by
the square of their separation is taught. When one advances to the more

I am a bit puzzled by something (which I perhaps once knew quite well). I am
reviewing my basic quantum mechanics by watching Jim Branson's QM  course on
streaming video. There is something he keeps say that bothers me.
He keeps saying that a wave function like exp(ikx) can't be ...

      In the General Theory of Relativity, the mathematical notion of
space-time continuum is implied to be an entity that can get physically
deformed and curved under the influence of gravitational field.  Let us
first examine the notion of space-time continuum.

The Properties of the Aether
    Of course there is no such thing as the Aether, it says so right here
in the book that the Aether has been proven not to exist. Unfortunately for
the academic elite, such a proof does not exist. As Dr. Einstein said,

"The Making of Observations in Relativistic Systems"
    A while ago a program was presented on NOVA in which a physicist
described an experiment. In this experiment he used two identical atomic
clocks and transported one of them around the world in a jet aircraft. He

I have some questions about "light" waves.
I know that a Photon has an energy related to its frequency, and that
somewhat makes sense to me.  What I wonder though.. A light wave has
"length" (the distance between "peaks"), but does it have an
