Relativistic Time Dilation in Muon Decay

Posted on September 26, 2011 by PlatoHagel

According to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, a clock moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light with respect to an observer runs more slowly than the observer’s own clock. This implies that time must be flowing more … Continue reading →

Geo-neutrinos

Posted on April 22, 2011 by PlatoHagel

The main geophysical and geochemical processes that have driven the evolution of the Earth are strictly bound by the planet̓s energy budget. The current flux of energy entering the Earth’s atmosphere is well known: the main contribution comes from solar … Continue reading →

Defining the Space your Living In

Posted on May 7, 2009 by PlatoHagel

The general theory of relativity is as yet incomplete insofar as it has been able to apply the general principle of relativity satisfactorily only to gravitational fields, but not to the total field. We do not yet know with certainty … Continue reading →
