How electrons began to remain in orbits In the early hot universe, free electrons were being captured by protons, forming hydrogen atoms. The photons, emitted in this process called recombination, took away the difference between the summary mass of free … Continue reading
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
