Sentences with phrase «when pairs of particles»

But something special occurs when pairs of particles emerge near the event horizon — the boundary between a black hole, whose gravity is so strong that it warps space - time, and the rest of the Universe.

Thus parallels between the brightness of light and the loudness of sound, and between the colour of light and the pitch of sound, gave the clues for applying a wave theory to light when a wave theory of sound was already familiar.19 As Achinstein points out, physical similarities in some features of a pair of situations provide grounds for the plausibility of investigating possible similarities in other features.20 More typically, however, the substantive analogy is not observed but postulated, as when the physical properties of inertia and elasticity were attributed to the unobservable gas particles.

But what happens to this link and the information it holds when one of the pair falls in, leaving its twin to become a particle of Hawking radiation (see main story)?

Preserving their uncertainty would require one particle in the pair to instantly know and react when the other is measured — even at the other end of the universe.

Our understanding of the structure of matter was revolutionized in 1964 when American physicist, Murray Gell - Mann, proposed that a category of particles known as baryons, which includes protons and neutrons, are composed of three fractionally charged objects called quarks, and that another category, mesons, are formed of quark - antiquark pairs.

Entanglement occurs when particles become correlated in pairs to predictably interact with each other regardless of how far apart they are.

When the nuclei collided, they turned into a shower of subatomic particles, and among them were pairs of antiprotons.

Photons reflected back from the mirror would represent Hawking radiation — the observable effect when one half of a virtual particle pair falls into an event horizon and the other escapes.

When a pair of researchers aimed the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array radio telescope toward a famous quasar, they sought evidence to support a popular theory for why the superfast jets of particles streaming from quasars are confined to narrow streams.

Occupying all three galleries, six of the works will be installed in pairs, the juxtaposition of which question whether it is the collision and union of two elements that creates a new reality when considering phenomena such as the Big Bang Theory, particle physics, or human procreation.
