I Anatomic electron spreads out into cloud-like wave shapes called “orbitals.” … But the electron does not “leap” anywhere. Shown here are critical electron transitions in the hydrogen atom. When an electron transitions...
QUANTUM BIOLOGY: The study of quantum mechanics and theoretical chemistry applications to biological objects and problems. Many biological processes involve converting energy into forms that are usable for chemical transformations and are quantum mechanical. DNA has...
13.7 BILLION YEARS AGO, THE BIG BANG KICKED THINGS OFF. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that the distances to far-away galaxies were proportional to their redshifts. Subsequent calculations have dated this Big Bang to approximately 13.7 billion years ago. The last...
Events occurring in the Universe do not just warp spacetime, but in some instances, can send ripples through this cosmic fabric of spacetime. This is accomplished by multimessenger astronomy. It combines ‘traditional’ observations of the Universe in the...
Immediately after the big bang, the new universe was smooth throughout. It soon clumped up. The ripples in the gravity field caused the mass to be born. Seen and unseen particles came together. The universe was being formed, bottom-up. Wall structures, sheets, and...
