  2. Hohlraum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlraum

    In radiation thermodynamics, a hohlraum (German: [ˈhoːlˌʁaʊ̯m] ⓘ; a non-specific German word for a "hollow space", "empty room", or "cavity") is a cavity whose walls are in radiative equilibrium with the radiant energy within the cavity.

  3. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    The container is discharged by connecting it briefly to a large conducting object, called a ground (earth); this can be done by touching it with a finger, using the conductive human body as a ground. Any initial charge drains off into the ground. The charge detector reads zero, indicating that the container has no charge.

  4. Boring (earth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_(earth)

    Soft ground drilling can be undertaken using a rotary auger or wash boring techniques, while rock drilling often use methods such as NMLC which allow for recovery of a core of material which can be examined to determine the strength, degree of weathering, understanding of any how intact the rock is and identify any discontinuities or other ...

  5. Hollow Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth

    The Hollow Earth is an obsolete concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space. Notably suggested by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, the notion was disproven, first tentatively by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, then definitively by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774.

  6. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    The initial motivation for the development of the Van de Graaff generator was as a source of high voltage to accelerate particles for nuclear physics experiments. [1] The high potential difference between the surface of the terminal and ground results in a corresponding electric field.

  7. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    Before Newton’s law of gravity, there were many theories explaining gravity. Philoshophers made observations about things falling down − and developed theories why they do – as early as Aristotle who thought that rocks fall to the ground because seeking the ground was an essential part of their nature. [6]

    Hollow Ground may refer to: Hollow Ground, 2018 album by American musician Cut Worms; Hollow Ground (band), an English heavy metal music band;

  9. Quantum vacuum state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_state

    The video of an experiment showing vacuum fluctuations (in the red ring) amplified by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.. If the quantum field theory can be accurately described through perturbation theory, then the properties of the vacuum are analogous to the properties of the ground state of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, or more accurately, the ground state of a measurement ...
