Sentences with phrase «moving beams of light»

McCall's reemergence is marked by revisiting and further developing what began as his «solid light» films made in the early 1970s: installations of hazy, darkened rooms with slow - moving beams of light from 16 mm projectors.

Cats love chasing moving beams of light.

Not exact matches

I'm imagining in place of an arrow, beams of radiating Light, some landing on the ground, and some moving beyond the frame.

With the introduction of a laser the droplets move towards the beam and make close - packed structures within seconds, later scattering when the light source is turned off.

When a gravitational wave moves through the detector, though, it should stretch one arm of LIGO while shortening the other, changing the path of the beams and causing the rejoined waves to produce a detectable pattern of light.

A gamma ray burst is thought to emerge when jets of hot matter moving at near — light - speed shoot out along the rotational axis of the newborn black hole, beaming radiation into space like a lighthouse.

If a man on a train traveling at 70 miles per hour turns on a flashlight while his partner on the ground does the same thing, they both see their beams of light moving the exact same way, at 186,282 miles per second.

BEAMS of electrons can pick up and move tiny objects, just like optical tweezers that manipulate items using light.

Einstein's conclusions became known as the special theory of relativity — no matter how fast you are moving toward or away from a source of light, the speed of that light beam will appear to be the same, a constant 186,282 miles per second.

Moving the nanoparticles in the study required a couple of watts of optical power — the equivalent of thousands of heat - producing laser pointers — which means a tractor beam big enough to lasso a spaceship is still (light) years away.

If the atom moves in a direction oppo - sing one of the light beams, the light, from the atom's perspective, increases in frequency.

They had achieved an even larger laser amplification, by a factor of 10,000, when using weak measurements to detect a shift in a beam of polarized light moving between air and glass.

The author, theoretical physicist Martin McCall of Imperial College London, proposed splitting a light beam into two segments moving at different speeds.

Rather than just rerouting the rays of light striking an object, a time cloak would have to deflect all the light beams influenced by the object as it moves through space.

The function performed by the imagined structures is to move alien vehicles using light sails, in which powerful light beams propel a reflective surface in the vacuum of space.

Try using a torchlight beam in a darkened room and they will definitely have lots of fun chasing the moving light around the wall.

In the former, time is represented on the vertical axis and space on the horizontal, combining to move toward the ultimate expansion; in the latter, space is denoted as collapsing, with yellow stitching indicating beams of light sent one degree in every direction.

When the viewer moves in and out of the projected light beams, they are forced to reconcile their perceived sense of a three dimensional object in space with the actual reality of the mutable properties of light.

These biometric rhythms are translated and projected as pulses of narrow - beam light that will move sequentially down row of spotlights placed along the perimeter of the lawn as each consecutive participant makes contact with the sensors.

An idiosyncratic use of light also marks out the work: sleek moving surfaces periodically reflect the beams of Buckley's projections, creating hotspots and dazzling the viewer.

That's why there are two distinct ways of getting useful work from the Sun, photovoltaic which utilises the tinier energy of Light to convert to electricity, and thermal panels which use the much bigger molecule moving power of beam Heat from the Sun to convert water to heat.
