In the context of Special Relativity (SR): is it time dilation, clock frequency increase, both of the above or none of the above?

This question may seem overbeaten, but the evidence is that in spite of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of answers in RG posts related to this question, the controversy seems endless. This question...

If the shape of the Universe is a 3-sphere, can that particular geometry by itself explain some or all of the evidence for the Big Bang?

A 3-spherical geometry for the Universe was once proposed by Einstein and is still held by others. For example, a 3-spherical geometry could explain Big Bang evidence, such as: The redshift of...

Has an atomic transition energy level larger than 137 ever been observed (measured)?

This question relates to any atom, but for simplicity let’s pose it in terms of the hydrogen atom, which has well known energy states. The Rydberg formula, which describes its transition levels,...

Where can I find generally accepted tables for experimentally obtained and accurate values for atomic spectral lines?

Spectra lines such as for hydrogen, deuterium, helium, etc. I have found values from various sources from Wikipedia to NIST, but I would like to obtain some opinions from the RG community as to...

Can cascade atomic energy level transitions occur?

Energy transitions are classified according to spectral series such as Balmer, Lyman, Paschen, etc., which assume a single transition between two non-contiguous levels (except the first...
