...other hand, firstly is impossible to visualize, and secondly doesn’t really alter our conceptions of such everyday things. What it talks about are things that have nothing to do with our everyday experience. Relativity explains why apples fall from trees onto physicists?? heads, why the year divides into warmth and cold—perennial questions. QM resolves relatively esoteric problems, and its subject matter is neither planets nor ballistics, but rather subatomic particles. It admittedly alters our conception of causality, though not as significantly as an artist might desire. All in all, it describes...
Matisse explains that when a typical metal bar is struck and vibrates, several points on the bar—called “nodes” by physicists??do not vibrate, but produce two tunes that resonate from each bar. Matisse sawed nicks at these nodes on the bar so that the whole bar would be more flexible, setting the two tones a full octave apart and eliminating the discord...
...weaker than other forces—such as electromagnetism—because it is diluted over more space. If gravity is not weaker than other forces, he said that the effects of string theory could be observed more directly through experimentation, which would put an end to physicists?? studying forces at shorter and shorter distances. “The fundamental theory that unifies gravity with everything else would not take place at ultra short distances but right above our heads,” he said. He added that there may be gigantic extra dimensions of space if this...
...Although the accident prevented her from rock climbing for a while, it did not stop her ascent in the field of theoretical physics. Randall has gathered the attention of scientists and the media for possibly answering a question that has long baffled physicists??why gravity is so much weaker than other forces...
...have not said that Glauber should not be given the prize, which is the prerogative of the Academy,” he wrote. “We are surprised that Sudarshan was not given the prize when Glauber was.”Glauber was one of three physicists??the maximum number of people who can be recognized—who won the Nobel Prize, sharing it with fellow American John L. Hall and German physicist Theodor W. Hänsch.—Staff writer Lulu Zhou can be reached at luluzhou@fas.harvard.edu...
