    The doorway effect or location updating effect is a replicable psychological ... and there was clear evidence that moving through a doorway made highly available ...

  3. Granular convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convection

    The phenomenon is also known as the muesli effect since it is seen in packets of breakfast cereal containing particles of different sizes but similar density, such as muesli mix. Under experimental conditions, granular convection of variously sized particles has been observed forming convection cells similar to fluid motion.

  4. Edwin Hall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hall

    The Hall effect was discovered by Hall in 1879, while working on his doctoral thesis in Physics under the supervision of Henry Augustus Rowland. [1] Hall's experiments in electromagnetics consisted of exposing thin gold leaf (and, later, using various other materials) on a glass plate and tapping off the gold leaf at points down its length.

  6. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    The effect of the impact can propagate outward from A no faster than the speed of light, so the back of the ladder will never feel the effects of the impact until point F (note the 45° angle of the line A-F, corresponding to the speed of light transmission of information) or later, at which time the ladder is well within the garage in both frames.

  7. Shower-curtain effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower-curtain_effect

    The shower-curtain effect in physics describes the phenomenon of a shower curtain being blown inward when a shower is running. The problem of identifying the cause of this effect has been featured in Scientific American magazine, with several theories given to explain the phenomenon but no definite conclusion.

  8. Looming and similar refraction phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looming_and_similar...

    Looming of the Canadian coast as seen from Rochester, New York, on April 16, 1871. Looming is the most noticeable and most often observed of these refraction phenomena. It is an abnormally large refraction of the object that increases the apparent elevation of the distant objects and sometimes allows an observer to see objects that are located below the horizon under normal conditions.

  9. Albert Baez - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Baez

    Together, they worked on the Physics Science Study Committee, which was an effort to reshape the way physics was taught in high schools. [8] In 1959, Baez accepted a faculty position at MIT and moved his family to the Boston area. Baez worked on physics education with the Physical Science Study Committee, in particular, focused on producing ...
