This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
A PMD typically consists of two main layers Veto Detector and Preshower Detector. Veto Detector layer is designed to reject charged particles. Photons pass through a converter in Preshower Detector layer, initiating an electromagnetic shower. The detector then measures the number of cells activated by the shower, providing information about the ...
A science magazine is a periodical publication with news, opinions, and reports about science, generally written for a non-expert audience. In contrast, a periodical publication, usually including primary research and/or reviews, that is written by scientific experts is called a "scientific journal".
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true ...
Guru Magazine – digital 'science-lifestyle' magazine; HowStuffWorks – website; Inside Science – BBC Radio 4 news stories keeping the audience abreast of important breakthroughs in science [14] Inside Science (AIP) – syndicating research news and related topics for general audiences through the press, the TV, and the web [15]
The concept of a "world line" is distinguished from concepts such as an "orbit" or a "trajectory" (e.g., a planet's orbit in space or the trajectory of a car on a road) by inclusion of the dimension time, and typically encompasses a large area of spacetime wherein paths which are straight perceptually are rendered as curves in spacetime to show ...
The space between these two surfaces is called the ergosphere. A moving particle experiences a positive proper time along its worldline, its path through spacetime. However, this is impossible within the ergosphere, where g tt is negative, unless the particle is co-rotating with the interior mass M with an angular speed at least of Ω.
"Time-space compression", she argues, "needs differentiating socially": "how people are placed within 'time-space compression' are complicated and extremely varied". In effect, Massey is critical of the notion of "time-space compression" as it represents capital's attempts to erase the sense of the local and masks the dynamic social ways ...
