Quantum Physics

Quantum Electro Dynamics Because electromagnetism is a field theory, the result of QED was a quantum field theory - a quantum theory that contains a value at every point in space.

Quantum Chromo Dynamics Quarks are the matter particles. Gluons are the force particles. There are 6 known quarks with fanciful names. The names have no relation to the properties of the particles.

Quantum Entanglement The argument about entanglement goes back to Einstein. The notorious EPR (Einstein/Podolsky/Rosen) thought experiment of 1935 demonstrated that if...

Fundamental Quanta Quarks and electrons constitute the fundamental building blocks of matter, but in both cases they can be annihilated into energy as photons, or alternatively energy can create such particles...	Quantum Field Theory The ability of particles possessing mass and charge to be annihilated, and charge carriers such as photons to be absorbed by such particles could be argued to make it difficult to view quanta as... .	Unification Of Quantum Mechanics The microdimensions give rise to discrete frequency particle vibrations. However, the oscillations form independent of time and spread unlimited in space, which permits quantum... .

Special Relativity & Causality While quantum theory and still more its implications have been censored out of much of popular thought and education, relativity may have had the opposite fate of being popularised as...	Theories Of Space-Time An understanding of the beginning of the universe requires an integration of general relativity and quantum theory or in other words a theory of quantum gravity. String theory has been the best ...	Spin-Spin Interactions Professor Larry Hunter along with colleagues at Amherst College and the University of Texas have published a paper in the journal Science describing their attempt to study long-range spin ...

Quantum Spacetime and Consciousness A higher-dimensional spacetime model is proposed, accounting for nonlocal quantum phenomena while embracing Special Relativity as a limiting case. The Aspect and ...	Space-Time-Theory This article discusses the possibility of interactions between matter/quanta on the one hand and spacetime on the other, and in particular deals with the work of Giovanni Amelino-Camelia...	Gravitational Waves The recent detection of gravitational waves, as predicted by relativity theory, also tends to confirm that a period of rapid inflation of the volume of space occurred in the very early universe...

Planck Probe-2 Recent observations from the Planck probe provide the best picture of the cosmic background radiation. Opinions are divided as to the significance of the recent evidence. Cosmoligists at Princeton...	Planck Probe Analysis of data from the European Space Agency's Planck probe has revealed interesting new data about the early universe. Previously the background radiation of the early universe had appeared...	Three Roads to Quantum Gravity Smolin highlights the argument that space or spacetime is not continous but comes in discrete units, and further that these discrete units represent...
