Also, this light gyroscope managed to ascertain the absolute rotation of the Earth, whereas the Michelson's interferometer did not find it. These results can be explained only by the ...

... When you look at distant galaxies they don’t actually seem redder. The speed of light is too fast for us to be able to see a colour change. We see red shift as a movement of spectral absorption lines. The dark lines should always appear in the same place, as the atoms can only absorb certain w ...

The cross has been thought to have been caused by a jet of high speed plasma which confines radiation from the accretion disk to a pair of oppositely directed cones of light that ionize gas caught in their beams. In simple terms, it is the ab ...
