Double slit???? (wtf)

tryin to find one about the twin paradox

 

[chris302001]

no video......but here we go

Two twin brothers........ one stays on earth, one gets on a space ship and travels at near the speed of light.......

The twin on the spaceship travels for 8 years before returning to earth

When he get's back, he finds his twin is an old gray haired man, while he (the twin on the spaceship) is has aged only 8 yrs........

So it appears that as you travel near the speed of light, time slows down. It dilates if you will.

Time dilation is cool

Cool stuff Chris. Ever mess with cross-polar light interference?

I loved doing stuff on the optical bench. It's amazing when you are so sure you are going to have one result, and it turns out, it's competely different!

Someone once said something similar to this: the greatest achievements in physics did not herald the word "Eureka!" but most likely the words, "Gee, that's funny........." (I think it was Feynman, but I can't remember, Samoth, help me out!)

We use refractory intereference colors to identify minerals in thin section through cross polar light. Nothing better than having a couple of coctails and checking out rocks in thin section.

Wait a tick geologists really are fucking strange.
