There is no telling of what might have happened if Newton would have at his disposal some microscopic observations besides the astronomical ones. One thing is sure: the concept of mass would be different today, together with the law of conservation of energy. Therefore the thermodynamics would have also some other form entirely.
However, perhaps one of […]
If someone asks about the image of a light ray to Newton, it is most likely to receive an answer like this: a light ray is a straight line, being the trajectory of a particle of light. Everybody knows that the image that Newton had of the light is that of a stream of particles […]
The Pioneer anomaly became a problem! Not that it shouldn’t be one, but it has a new twist: one cannot say if it is a fundamental problem or just a routine one. Some say it can be routinely explained. This idea has two streamlines: first there is a possibility of explanation by on-board energy produced […]
