“The laws of quantum mechanics don't permit the removal of arbitrary amounts of energy from a system consisting of two mutually attractive… — Henning Genz Quantum mechanics Copy Share Image
“If they were as we described them, the existence of black holes would contradict the principles of thermodynamics. One of these principles… — Henning Genz Black hole Copy Share Image
“It is not only the theory of inflation that tells us we don't know all of the masses in the universe. In… — Henning Genz Long ago Copy Share Image
“As long as two fields that describe one and the same space are identified, the field and the space can be used… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Light is an excitation of empty space proper, of the vacuum. It is no more and no less.” — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Charges induce properties in the space surrounding them which can be observed experimentally. If we enter a test charge into an electric… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“We have good reason to believe that space and time begin to merge into quantum mechanical uncertainty at distances this small; they… — Henning Genz Black hole Copy Share Image
“We associate two different terms with this phenomenon: asymptotic freedom and infrared slavery. At one end of the scale, the short distances,… — Henning Genz Building blocks Copy Share Image
“But for all practical purposes the formation of ice breaks the continuous symmetries of water non-deterministically. This non-deterministic symmetry breaking is called… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“What is important here is that for every given curvature there are precisely fixed masses. And since we recall that the virtual… — Henning Genz Space Copy Share Image
“If all of the presently observable universe pooled its matter to create one giant black hole, its radius measured in light-years would… — Henning Genz Black hole Copy Share Image
“The space that is added as the universe expands has the same properties-curvature, energy density-as the parent space.” — Henning Genz Parenting Copy Share Image
“Theory and experiment both show us that light does not need a material medium for propagation. We would have no trouble understanding… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Insofar as the general theory of relativity follows Mach's ideas, it can be seen as expressing the distribution of masses in terms… — Henning Genz Blank canvas Copy Share Image
“The parameter we hold responsible for the ability or inability of a particle to move with a velocity other than that of… — Henning Genz Quantum mechanics Copy Share Image
“Every object is embedded in the vacuum with which physics surrounds it. This means we don't observe the naked object-rather, we see… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“LIGHT AS AN EXCITATION OF SPACE Let's try and understand light in terms of an excitation of empty space-even if that makes… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Charged particles can scatter light by absorbing and reemitting it (a). Light can scatter off light only by the mediation of charged… — Henning Genz Light Copy Share Image
“INTO AND OUT OF THE VACUUM To make real particles out of the virtual ones that are part of the vacuum fluctuations,… — Henning Genz Quantum mechanics Copy Share Image
“We know there is a conservation law for electric charge; this simply means that the sum of these charges in any process… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“If there weren't any charges, there would be neither absorption nor emission nor any scattering. Light would not impact on the matter… — Henning Genz Goals Copy Share Image
“Of all the material objects we know, quasars are closest to lucretius's javelin. Quasars are galaxies in early stage of evolution. The… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Second, what properties distinguish an otherwise empty volume that retains only some black-body radiation at zero temperature-dubbed zero-degree radiation-from truly empty space?… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“The Higgs field originated as the universe cooled down after the Big Bang-a bit like the crystallization of ice as water cools… — Henning Genz Big bang Copy Share Image
“The universe is but one immense unit; it cannot be separated into spatial domains that are totally empty and others that are… — Henning Genz Space Copy Share Image
