But they didn’t answer the simple question: though two photons exit together, are they bound together in a tangible way, and do they remain bonded together?
Or created something that behaves like matter even though it isn’t. I’m still waiting for our resident physicists to chime in and help us understand... please guys (and girls), you’re needed! :-)
Very possibly. Good question.
LOL. I think Einstein and I are related. He dropped a WHOLE BUNCH of letters. ;-)
“How could gravity affect something that has no mass ?”
Easy. Gravity warps space, and the path of the photons is curved along with it.
Right, and at room temperature? They say nothing, though just doing what they’ve done is remarkable and worthy of publication. imho
But eager to know more.
Mass, energy ?
something doesn't add up.
John Donne already discovered this centuries ago
"Our eye-beams twisted, and did thread
Our eyes upon one double string."
a Double stream eye-beam
There ya go!
So what generates the Higgs field? You say that the Higgs field permeates the universe, so where does it come from?
I don’t believe photons have mass. They couldn’t travel at the speed of light in a vacuum otherwise. However, they do carry energy, expressed as a frequency. The higher the frequency, the more energetic. Mass and energy are equivalent. Each can be converted to the other. But they are not the same thing, only equivalent in a mathematical sense and in the ability to convert from one form to another. And if there is something wrong with that, it is only because I know just enough physics to be dangerous, and an embarrassment. :-)
my personal opinion however is that we are a "video game" in our Creators' "computer." The Creators coded all the laws of physics (plus whatever other laws it takes) and everything that we experience evolved from that. It is real only to us.
So "where does [the Higgs field] come from?
Computer code. Why not? There's no limit to big. Our Creators can be quintillions of times bigger then us in a world similar to the one they coded for us.
I dont know about the new state of matter?
“rubidium atoms into a vacuum chamber, then used lasers to cool the cloud of atoms to just a few degrees above absolute zero.”
They just slowed down two photons in a rubidium cloud at a non-sustainable temperature. Super cold fluorescent light?
I’m just not buying it.
“We do this for fun...” Lukin said.
Ahhh. Now I get it.
OTOH, I never had even thought of the blade of a light sabre being cold.
Yeah, that cold.
You know how we are afraid of smart robots that we may create in the future taking over and destroying us? So are our creators. That’s why they marooned us, their version of “smart robots,” here in this parallel universe that lacks the physical laws to allow us to escape or to do them harm, but who, nevertheless, in unifying physics here, will give them clues how to do it there, in their universe, at which point they’ll collapse our universe on us. We’re smarter than them... There MUST. BE. A. WAY. OUT...
And like photons passing through one another without having any lasting effect on one another, photonic matter brings with it the ability to pass through regular matter like a knife through butter. But unlike photons, it has a huge effect; namely, rendering asunder that which it effortlessly passes through. The best of both worlds?
Think you’ll be interested in this.
Wow,...-one tiny atom in my fingernail could be— -Could be one little... tiny universe....
According to the original Star Wars canon, lightsabres emit no heat.
Now if they could only create honest politicians....
