How much do you know about the radiation all around you?
Your electronic devices swarm with it; the sun bathes you in it. It's zooming at you from cell towers, microwave ovens, CT scans, mammogram machines, nuclear power plants, deep space, even the walls of your basement. You cannot see, hear, smell or feel it, but there is never a single second when it is not flying through your body. Too much of it will kill you, but without it you wouldn't live...
3) Negative Mass and Negative Refractive Index in Atom Nuclei - Nuclear Wave Equation - Gravitational a
Author
Description
Some efforts have been made to prove negative mass behavior through some experiments performed in mechanics, and other disciplines as well as some theories in electrostatics, but I haven't found research about similar effects at the atomic level, where the most elementary mass given by the atomic nucleus is to be found.Is the second Newton's law still valid with negative mass?What could happen if we make the atom behave in a negative mass regime?Is...

11) Intensity of Electromagnetic Waves as a Function of Frequency, Source Distance and Aperture Angle
Author
Description
Intensity of Electromagnetic Waves as a function of frequency is usually not treated by the scientific community.The energy transport in Electromagnetic Waves (EMW) calculated by means of the Poynting vector formula, might not yield to correct results, because it only gives an average energy on a surface. There is no reference about the volumetric energy distribution at a distance from the source, nor to the frequency of the EMW.How can the intensity...
