Research on the doorway effect involves having people navigate virtual environments while picking up and putting down various objects. During these experiments, participants were given the names of these objects either (1) as they moved across a large room or (2) when they entered a new room (a spatial change).
Knocking on Heaven’s Door: How Physics and Scientific Thinking Illuminate the Universe and the Modern World
Direct (A) and inverse (B) Moses effects. In physics, the Moses effect is a phenomenon of deformation of the surface of a diamagnetic liquid by a magnetic field. [1] [2] The effect was named after the biblical figure Moses, inspired by the mythological crossing of the Red Sea in the Old Testament.
The title is explained in the text: "Scientists knock on heaven's door in an attempt to cross the threshold separating the known from the unknown." [ 6 ] Review
The Dreams That Stuff Is Made of: The Most Astounding Papers of Quantum Physics and How They Shook the Scientific World is a 2011 book by English physicist Stephen Hawking. Overview [ edit ]
Spin Hall effect (condensed matter physics) (Hall effect) (physics) (spintronics) Spoiler effect (psephology) (voting theory) Stack effect; Stark effect (atomic physics) (foundational quantum physics) (physical phenomena) Stars (shader effect) (3D computer graphics) (computer graphics) (demo effects) Status effect (video game gameplay)
In the thought experiment, a demon controls a door between two chambers containing gas. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction, and only slow-moving molecules to pass through in the other.
Notable results from this period include Max Planck's calculation of the blackbody radiation spectrum, Albert Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect, Einstein and Peter Debye's work on the specific heat of solids, Niels Bohr and Hendrika Johanna van Leeuwen's proof that classical physics cannot account for diamagnetism, Bohr's model ...
