  2. Foramen ovale (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foramen_ovale_(skull)

    The foramen ovale is used as the entry point into the skull when conducting a Percutaneous Rhizotomy using either radio-frequency ablation, balloon compression or glycerol injection. These are performed to treat trigeminal neuralgia. In the procedure, the electrode is introduced through the cheek of an anesthetized patient and radiologically ...

  3. Stereoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

    Stereoscopy creates the impression of three-dimensional depth from a pair of two-dimensional images. [5] Human vision, including the perception of depth, is a complex process, which only begins with the acquisition of visual information taken in through the eyes; much processing ensues within the brain, as it strives to make sense of the raw information.

  4. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    The spherical coordinate system is commonly used in physics. It assigns three numbers (known as coordinates) to every point in Euclidean space: radial distance r, polar angle θ , and azimuthal angle φ . The symbol ρ is often used instead of r.

  5. Parity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(physics)

    In physics, a parity transformation (also called parity inversion) is the flip in the sign of one spatial coordinate.In three dimensions, it can also refer to the simultaneous flip in the sign of all three spatial coordinates (a point reflection):

  6. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    where = is the reduced Planck constant.. The quintessentially quantum mechanical uncertainty principle comes in many forms other than position–momentum. The energy–time relationship is widely used to relate quantum state lifetime to measured energy widths but its formal derivation is fraught with confusing issues about the nature of time.

  7. Minkowski space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space

    Hermann Minkowski (1864–1909) found that the theory of special relativity could be best understood as a four-dimensional space, since known as the Minkowski spacetime.. In physics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/ [1]) is the main mathematical description of spacetime in the absence of gravitation.

  8. Orbifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbifold

    In physics, the notion of an orbifold usually describes an object that can be globally written as an orbit space M/G where M is a manifold (or a theory), and G is a group of its isometries (or symmetries) — not necessarily all of them. In string theory, these symmetries do not have to have a geometric interpretation.

  9. Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler–Feynman_absorber...

    The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory (also called the Wheeler–Feynman time-symmetric theory), named after its originators, the physicists Richard Feynman and John Archibald Wheeler, is a theory of electrodynamics based on a relativistic correct extension of action at a distance electron particles.
