A serious question, if the minimum length of a single quanta (where n =1) is the Planck length; and the maximum wavelength, from E=hf (where f=1), is the speed of light in meters, then how are...

It is generally thought (see Special Relativity, A. P. French) that the magnetism we detect form an electric field, is related to relative motion with respect to that field. Specifiically a moving...

We are all told that a black hole is a singularity where time stops and inside the black hole there is no space and the black hole itself has no volume. Does anyone really believe that is the...

The spin of the the electron is known as h/2. We are told that this is not the classical spin primarily because the speed of the electron would need to far exceed the speed of light. What is the...
