GROUNDED IN EXPERIMENTALISM. “Fancy mathematics is useless unless is it based on valid assumptions. The correct mathematical assumptions can only be obtained from correct physical principles. The correct physical principles can only be obtained from analysis of the crucial experiments.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

RESIDUAL ENERGY. “The energy that is left behind is represented partly by heat, which we can use, and partly by the mass of the electron, which is only about 2/5 of the mass difference between the neutron and the proton. More precisely, the proportion is about .3952.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

MISSING ANTIMATTER. “One of the fundamental processes of radioactivity is the decay of a neutron into a proton and an electron. This process releases energy, and is the basis of the nuclear power industry, but it was discovered early on that up to 60% of the energy goes missing. This missing energy is taken away by a neutrino (technically, an anti-neutrino).” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

SHAPE-CHANGERS. “Neutrinos appear to ‘oscillate’ between the three types. It is not only the neutrinos that come in three generations, but also the electrons. The other two generations of electron are called the muon and the tau particle.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

NEW SOURCE OF GRAVITY. “If neutrinos are indeed responsible for gravity, in the sense that they are the ‘messengers’ sent out by massive objects to attract other objects to them, then we finally have a solution to Newton’s ‘action at a distance’ problem.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

NEW SUBSTITUTION. “It is therefore theoretically possible to base a model of quantum gravity on neutrinos, which are spin 1/2 particles that, as far as direct experiment shows, could have zero mass and travel at the speed of light.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

MAXWELL’S DEMON. “If the particle has an electric charge, it will respond to vacuum fluctuations of the electric field, which will result in a small increase in the tunneling rate.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

NOVEL MECHANISM. “Recent theory, however, has predicted that quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic fields could induce phonon coupling across a vacuum and thereby facilitate heat transfer.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn

THE ODDS GAME. “Quantum tunneling is a well known effect in quantum mechanics. For example, a quantum particle in a local potential minimum has a nonzero probability to tunnel through a potential maximum to reach another potential minimum with lower energy.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

VACUUM HEAT TRANSFER. “In a vacuum, heat has long been thought to be transferred by radiation but not by phonons because of the lack of a medium.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn
