    The most intuitive way to explain how or why a particle like a photon (or electron, etc) might behave as an uncertain location particle while also like a polarizable axial or helical wave ''packet'', given that everything in the universe from electrons to solar systems are in orbit with something else pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves depending on the orientation of their orbits as they travel thru space, is that they’re in orbit with an undetectable dark matter particle pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves as they travel.
    And given that we know we’re in a sea of undetectable dark matter but don’t know where it’s disbursed, we can imagine that they’re in orbit with an undetectable dark matter particle pulling them into polarizable axial or helical apparent waves as they travel where the speed of their orbit determines the wavelength and the diameter is the amplitude which would explain the double slit, uncertainty, etc. No?
    I think Einstein's wrong, that time is constant and that dark matter is the limiting factor to the speed of light. I think it’s not 'space-time' bending but rather gravitational and dark matter density variations.

    Capacitance, reflectance and phase create space. Most spirals you see in nature or vacuum is hydrogen reflections ratioed with PI. You see, humans try to draw lines and numbers around interference patterns.

    Hi. Thank you for a very well created presentation :)
    Disclaimer: I am not a physicist, just well educated (non indentured).
    Something I have never quite been able to conceptualize directly in my mind is the relationship between amplitude (voltage) and temperature.
    It is said that both the amplitude and frequency of the wave "both" increase with temperature (Unlike a normal electrical wave where voltage would only increase the amplitude without and change in the wavelength).
    .
    In an idealistic situation where we were to begin with say a narrow frequency "entirely" within the Infrared, would the frequency of that narrow band become higher as the temperature increased or would the amplitude increase without a change in frequency?
    As an alternative to the question in line with your black body example here, would the frequency of the individual bands remain the same while the amplitude of the frequency only in the visible bands increasing in amplitude? (No change in frequency at any individual bands)
    >
    33:41 This is a question in my mind that I can't seam to find an unambiguous answer for. The prorogation of a photon as a wave.
    .
    If I were to create an ideal situation where I could release a single photon from an uninhibited point (It has the liberty to travel in any direction along the radius of the sphere) Would it:
    a. Send out a narrow wave along a single radius line?
    b. Send out a single wave as an expanding spherical shell in all directions?
    .
    I ask this question because common examples such as double slit show photons traveling in a narrow direction like the coherent light of a laser. But my mind expects something more akin to a 3D version of the waves in the pond example.
    It makes a significant difference to how we interpret the double slit example as well as experiments such as photon entanglement.

      @@tybeedave There are some weird oddities in the dual slit example. Some use incoherent light, and others use a laser beam (coherent light), and then some supposedly use a single photon at a time (coherent or incoherent?). Then we have the possibility of filters to change the wave polarization.
      >
      Somewhere in my mind I feel that the 3D spherical wave front may persist even in coherent or polarized light. Even if the bulk energy (amplitude) is directed more toward a coherent direction. In this you could image as per the tables in the video where all of the spherical light wave exists, but the peak that is visible/detectable is in the narrow direction of the laser beam. In the double slit experiments it would appear as if the laser beam still has the light wave outside of the narrow beam.
      It's interesting stuff :)

      @@axle.student slit experiments can be perplexing. i always keep in mind that at a quantum level, there is a lots of space between molecules for allowing bits of energy to filter through the barrier to keep the wavefront whole. this does slow part of it down leading to the familiar pattern.
      a photon is likely made of a zillion smaller particles, like everything else.
      i've not researched this subject but when one realizes anything and everything is made from smaller things, it's not so mysterious :)

    Very useful, thank you! But I'm a little confused by the term "intensity". Is there anything more to it than simply "amount of" or "quantity of"?

    • @jarivangog8791
      @jarivangog8791 Месяц назад +1

      You can also think of it as the flux, ie the amount of energy transferred per unit area. Specifically for electromagnetic waves theres also the poynting vector, which represents the directional energy flow but this has some limitations (like its only (sort of) for vacuums)

    What is oscillating and around what?

    • @hebertengineering
      @hebertengineering  20 дней назад

      It's a combined electric/magnetic field. The intensities of the electric & magnetic fields are what is oscillating. The changing electric field is what creates the magnetic field. All charged particles (i.e., protons or electrons) emit "electric fields". Electric field is just a human made idea to represent how charged particles exert forces on each other even if not in contact and at a distance. Charges that are in motion or are accelerating we also know emit magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are the same idea as an electric field it's just a force due to a charge but magnetic fields act in different directions. So moving charge (e.g., an electron jumping orbits), emits this oscillating electromagnetic wave.
      Electric & magnetic fields are abstract in the same sense that a gravitational field is abstract. We don't know what gravity is we just know that there is some invisible unknown mysterious force that cause objects with mass to pull towards one another. Same thing with electric/magnetic fields. If something with charge (i.e., electron or proton) interacts with an electric or magnetic field then forces are going to be exerted on that charged particle in some way.

    Electronic waves don’t need a medium? Electrons aren’t vibrations of the electromagnetic field? We live in a quantum sea of overlapping fields. The field is waving the electrons.

    • @axle.student
      @axle.student 5 дней назад

      In QM Space is a field, rather than an empty void. It becomes a medium with density that can be stretched, bent and flow like a liquid which sound a little too similar to the luminous Aether and I get the jitters.
      If space has density and that density increases in the gravity well of a planet or star, then we have light traveling through a medium of higher density which then invokes thoughts of variable speed of light, and THAT is a very deep and awkward rabbit hole lol

    emr is rotating and moving weak force waves/particles.
    uh, from the popcorn model of reality:
    make the universe manageable by applying simplicity.
    our universe can be divided into 2 parts. the beginning and the end (dissipation).
    now imagine a higher pitched harmonic of our reality:
    This is the realm of dark matter. the ratio in the relative energy difference between the adjacent harmonics has a magnitude of between 10e64 and 10e72
    7 levels of force exists within these harmonics:
    time*
    gravity
    weak
    strong
    em
    human thought process*
    big (supreme)*
    *not recognized as a force
    our universe exists from the interaction of these forces
    em is the dominant force in our measured universe.
    the most massive dark matter particle is equal in mass to the least massive detected particle pair (neutrino/antineutrino).

      it does offer predictions concerning many 'mysteries' of our universe and existence.

      these events are open to inclusion in a model.
      these are acknowledged data points that, imo, prove nature repeats itself on many scales.
      so, like a wave, our universe is composed of not only what we can sense, but unseen harmonics of what happens in the wider universe....
