BTW, I wonder if part of the resolution to this matter may be related to quantum effects, spooky action at a distance (recent experiments regarding quantum entanglement appear to prove Einstein was wrong on this question), or related to properties of photons which give rise to some very peculiar optical effects, in which it seems that the photons somehow know where they are going before they get there?

Now these fundamental matter particles interact by means of forces and within quantum mechanics we believe that these forces are mediated by quantum, by particles, and so we have the electromagnetic force mediated by photons which are massless; we have the weak nuclei force mediated by massive particles which are called W and Z and we have the strong nuclear force mediated by massless gluons.

By careful construction of the avalanche region, it is possible to build an APD which generates an output, or gain, of 1500 electrons for every photon which is absorbed.

Imagine a radio photon which is emitted only at very cold temperatures naturally.»

That implies that an excited electron in a greenhouse gas molecule in the atmosphere can not radiate toward the ground unless it can «find» another electron on the surface in a ground state which is capable of absorbing the photon which is to be radiated.

The discrete energy levels can only absorb the exact wavelength corresponding to their energy separation, they don't absorb a photon which has too much energy and then discard the excess!

Not exact matches

those stars you see, the light takes hundreds of thousands of years to reach us, and when you see that light from them, you are seeing what they looked like thousands of years ago when that group of photons was thrust out by that star / galaxy, which than takes several light years to reach us, which also means you are looking at the past, thousands and hundreds of thousand of years into the past!

It is not «1 ray», but millions of photons at various wavelengths, some of which we can't see with our eyes, which evolved to detect primarily red, green, and blue wavelengths and combinations thereof.

Among those particles were photons, which make up light.

What happens during the experiment is that the «mirror» transfers some of its kinetic energy to virtual photons, which helps them to materialise.

Returning to visual perception, in which information carried by photons is somehow converted into images, one might say that these images are in a sense re-presentations of a something (or of some part of a something) that has been presented to the perceiver.

Consider also his claim that «the right way to think» about a visual experience is that «photons reflected off objects attack the photoreceptor cells of the retina and this sets up a series of neuronal processes (the retina being part of the brain), which eventually result, if all goes well, in a visual experience that is a perception of the very object that originally reflected the photons» (MC 64).

«The gas which forms the major part of the insterstellar medium,» explains Jorge García Rojas, a researcher at the IAC who is the first author on the paper «can be observed because its atoms are ionized by the photons emitted by the hot stars embedded inside it (which can either very massive stars, or white dwarfs, which are also very hot).

When one of these excited electrons falls back to its original state it emits a photon, which in turn stimulates another electron to emit a photon, and so on.

With increasing size of the optical arrangement and increasing numbers of photons sent on their way, the number of possible paths and distributions of the photons at the end rises steeply as a result of the uncertainty principle which underlies quantum mechanics — so that there can be no prediction of the exact probability using the computers available to us today.

In the meantime, he plans to use Micius to distribute quantum keys to Chinese ground stations, which will require longer strings of photons and additional steps.

Astronomers long considered two other main candidates in addition to synchrotron radiation: black - body radiation, which results from the emission of heat from an object, and inverse Compton radiation, which results when an accelerated particle transfers energy to a photon.

China's Micius satellite, which launched in 2016, uses lasers to beam photons, or light particles, to ground stations on Earth.

Then he wants to demonstrate intercontinental quantum key distribution between stations in China and Austria, which will require holding one half of an entangled photon pair on board until the Austrian ground station appears within view of the satellite.

This threshold for photon doping occurs at ∼ 0.12 photons per copper site, which is unexpectedly close to the density (per site) of chemically doped carriers needed to induce superconductivity.

In an analogous «before - before» experiment, Suarez's colleagues in Geneva deployed entangled photons A and B through beam splitters, after which each particle would follow either a short or a long path.

And if physicists set up the experiment with a photon detector at each slit, that is indeed what they see: Photons hurtle randomly through either the first slit or the second, which results in two separate clumps of dots forming on the film.

«At the very microscopic level,» he says, «we have developed techniques like two - photon microscopy, which allows extremely detailed examinations of structures and processes within cells.»
