  4. Celestial mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_mechanics

    This general procedure – starting with a simplified problem and gradually adding corrections that make the starting point of the corrected problem closer to the real situation – is a widely used mathematical tool in advanced sciences and engineering. It is the natural extension of the "guess, check, and fix" method used anciently with numbers.

  5. 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.

  6. Whispering gallery - Wikipedia

    The sound is carried by waves, known as whispering-gallery waves, that travel around the circumference clinging to the walls, an effect that was discovered in the whispering gallery of St Paul's Cathedral in London. [1] The extent to which the sound travels at St Paul's can also be judged by clapping in the gallery, which produces four echoes. [2]

  8. ER = EPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ER_=_EPR

    ER = EPR is a conjecture in physics stating that two entangled particles (a so-called Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen or EPR pair) are connected by a wormhole (or Einstein–Rosen bridge) [1] [2] and is thought by some to be a basis for unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics into a theory of everything.

  9. Lighthouse paradox - Wikipedia

    [1] [2] However, these effects that have no empirical evidence leading to the conclusion that there is a simple physical explanation. The fundamental misunderstanding of this paradox is the assumption that the projected image caused by the light ray is a physical object, and therefore must follow physical law.
