Re: TIME EXPLAINED (v2.1)

HydrogenBond: you need to check up on the above.

Here's an excerpt from another essay I'm writing.

OK, we know from Time Explained that distance is related to time by the thing we call c. It’s a conversion factor. Divide by c and you convert a distance-based view into a time-based view. That’s why the energy of a photon is hf, and the momentum is hf/c. Just as a reminder, h is Planck’s constant, which is 6.63 x 10-34 Joule-seconds. That’s an “action”, which is also a momentum times a distance. The f is the frequency per second. If you divide Joule-seconds by seconds you get Joules, our familiar units of energy. You can also express the momentum as h/λ where λ is the wavelength in metres. Basically c is λ/f, distance over time.

Also check out these wikipedia links.

Momentum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With respect, I think you're going off at a tangent here, perhaps you should start a new thread.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
