Author Topic: everything in the universe is a wave ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ  (Read 1932 times)

My granddad said something interesting about this. He said something along the lines of "if gravity has waves similar to light, would it also be a particle wave like light?"

gravity particle waves man

i mean we don't really know what we're talking about but hey science

gravity waves are probably a lot more like magnetic fields which aren't both waves and particles at the same time they're just waves i believe

There hasn't been a good mathematical model found for light that applies in all equations, so depending on the context we consider light in calculcations as either a beam, a frequency, or a particle.

Dude I had actually been following this a bit. This is really cool.
As in like I had wondered whether gravity was instantaneous or at least traveled faster than light and had to wonder why it didn't.
So this is really neat.
Apparently if gravity is instant you could send messages into the past with it which is why it has to travel at the speed of light

There hasn't been a good model found for light, so depending on the context we use light in calculcations as either a beam, a frequency, or a particle.
no, we have a fantastic model, it's just really complicated to figure out.

i wonder what frequency the waves are :)

i wonder what frequency the waves are :)
judging by his richard size, they are shorter than gamma rays

DUDE CALM DOWN

Time to surf down those space waves yo!

yes

photons are the bosons that couple to the electromagnetic force

gravitons are the hypothetical bosons that couple to the force of gravity

There hasn't been a good mathematical model found for light that applies in all equations, so depending on the context we consider light in calculcations as either a beam, a frequency, or a particle.

this person has no idea what they're talking about

"we consider light in calculations as either a beam, a frequency, or a particle"

this is literal nonsense and doesn't have anything to do with QED (the equations that govern how light interacts with stuff)

also, QED is by all definitions a complete mathematical model. it perfectly describes all the ways in which electromagnetic waves interact with things. that's why Richard Feynman won a nobel prize for finishing it.

forget YEAH SPACE SURFING
Jk. This is still pretty neat tho


He's a wave, you're a wave... I'm a wave! Are there any other waves I should know about?

Mee-wave.

cool

now waddaforget do we do with it

✧・゚:*SCIENCE*:・゚✧

this is so loving exciting

i really recommend looking up what this means for physics because this is just a HUGE step forward
