Physicist suggests Einstein could have beaten Bohr in famous thought experiment
(PhysOrg.com) -- Way back in the 1930’s, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr were sparring over ideas related to whether the new field of quantum mechanics was correct. In one thought experiment that Einstein said showed ...
Three time dimensions, one space dimension: Relativity of superluminal observers in 1+3 spacetime
How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. "We should expect to see not only phenomena that happen spontaneously, ...
