Продолжаем тему электромагнитная волна, фотон, скорость света. В части 3 был представлен альтернативный процесс формирования электромагнитной волны, в котором было использовано 4е геометрическое измерение w.

Напомню, согласно гипотезе, проработанной в 1.3, фотон обладает массой и зарядом, и эти свойства отлично описывают как корпускулярно-волновой дуализм, так и процессы излучения/отражения/поглощения фо Read more ›
