The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...

Researchers have taken a famous quantum-physics experiment to new heights by sending light, in the form of photons, to space and back, demonstrating the dual-particle-wave nature of light over much ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

Some are arguing that Many Worlds and Pilot Wave are really the same. It’s hard to interpret the strange results of quantum mechanics, though many have tried. Interpretations range from the outlandish ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There are two fundamental classes of theories required to describe the ...

II. TO continue our study of visible light, that is, undulations ex tending from red to violet in the spectrum (which I am going to show you presently), I would first point out on this chart that in ...
