Q: Why does a gravitational field permanently alter the direction of photons?

Lokus PokusIf light photons are massless particles traveling in a vacuum, why is the direction of an angular photon permanently affected by a localized gravitational field as currently described by general relativity (path A on the figure - gravitational lensing). Shouldn't they still follow a 'linear' (not...

Q: (Relativity) laser shining through two holes in distant rotating discs

F. PoloI've found the following paradox, and I wonder how to resolve it. Two discs are floating in space, call them A and B. They are at a fixed distance D, coaxial, and rotate at the same speed. Each of them has a hole near the border. The position of the hole in disc B lags behind the position of the ...

Q: Can you create white light by combining cyan wavelengths (490-520nm) with red wavelengths (630-700nm)?

HelpCyan (blue light + green light) + red light = white light, but is the same true for cyan wavelengths ($490-520$ nm) and red wavelengths ($630-700$ nm)?

Q: Does a path integral necessarily mean there is a quantum mechanical description?

Bruce LeeGiven a path integral for a system $$Z(\phi) = \int [D\phi] e^{-S[\phi]},$$ where I am working in the Euclidean signature, necessarily mean that the system described is quantum mechanical? In the equation above, I am looking at $(d+1)$ dimensional field theories, such that $d=0$ Feynman path inte...
