“We recall that the term inflation stands for the explosive growth of the universe by a factor of 10^50 in the time… — Henning Genz Big bang Copy Share Image
“Today, this is the way we define the vacuum: It is the remnant left over in a volume out of which we… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Certain macroscopic objects directly display quantum mechanical effects. Superconductors and neutron stars-the latter behaving like atomic nuclei with a six-mile diameter-are macroscopic… — Henning Genz Physics Copy Share Image
“Can a cat vanish, but not its grin? Can structure exist without matter? This may be possible in the abstract interpretation of… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“This question about the reason we do not observe any quantum mechanical uncertainty in the appearance of flies or stars was never… — Henning Genz Quantum mechanics Copy Share Image
“The uncertainty relation tells us that an infinitely large energy corresponds to infinitely small distances.” — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“The energy of the vacuumin the universe presents us with a dilemma: We know, on the one hand, that this energy must… — Henning Genz Energy Copy Share Image
“THE GOLDSTONE THEOREM It doesn't matter for our discussion that the broken symmetry of our world chooses a particular direction not in… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Galaxies, quasars among them, are interpreted by astrophysicists in terms of probes that are attached to points in space and that move… — Henning Genz Big bang Copy Share Image
“In order to show that not even light can escape from the gravitational pull of a black hole, we have to hone… — Henning Genz Black hole Copy Share Image
“To date, we don't know of any object that cannot, for certain, be subdivided. The chemist's atom consists of nucleus and electrons;… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“As we showed in figure 5, water molecules oscillate about their rest positions in ice. Quantum mechanics says that this remains true… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Any space that distinguishes directions and accelerations cannot be "empty", in Aristotle's meaning.” — Henning Genz Space Copy Share Image
“There is field for every particle. If that field is concentrated in some spatial region, the particle of that field is likely… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Real systems are, in this sense, "excitations of the vacuum"- much as surface waves in a pond are excitations of the pond's… — Henning Genz Real world Copy Share Image
“The freezing of water is called a phase transition. The temperature at which this happens is called a critical temperature. A different… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“The photon itself, the carrier of the electromagnetic interaction, is electrically neutral. That means all interactions among photons proceed through the mediation… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Bodies influence the space that surrounds them; they tell us whatever we can learn about that space. Does this mean that, possibly,… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“Of all conceivable reasons for some sequence of physical events Plato recognizes only its ultimate aim as worthy of attention. The world… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image

“While the effective electrical charge of a proton decreases with distance, the strength of the effective color charge of a quark increases… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“There is no suchthing as absolutely empty space. All space contains fluctuating fields and particles. Even in the emptiest space that the… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“In another experiment Guericke connects a small glass sphere that's filled with air with a larger evacuated one. As he opens the… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Plato holds a special place among them. His detailed interpretation of matter as a hollow space surrounded by regularly shaped bodies was… — Henning Genz Special place Copy Share Image
“Once the thermal radiation reaches the surface temperature of the Sun-some 6000 degrees Celsius-we perceive it as white light. At still higher… — Henning Genz White light Copy Share Image
