Increasing the visible size keeping the same amount of light emitted When we look at a distant source of light that spreads in all directions, we see only a portion of the photons emitted by it. As the distance from … Continue reading
How lucky we are that in a changing world there is a stable proton… As we know, atomic nuclei of substance consist of nucleons — protons and neutrons. If the nucleons decay to other, lighter elementary particles, those will quickly … Continue reading
