    Understanding the "Spin" Property of Particles

    I'm just learning about the "spin" property of particles but I'm a little confused. What exactly is the "spin" property of particles and why is it important? Thanks for the help!

    Time Dilation and Gravity's Effect on Light

    Your link is very helpful, thank you. However why does the watch closer to the Earth appear to move slower when in fact the frequency of light waves increases as they get closer to Earth? I would think that this causes the watch closer to Earth to appear to move faster than the one farther...

    Time Dilation and Gravity's Effect on Light

    Not really. I have two main questions: 1. Does the frequency of light increase as it gets closer towards Earth or other large celestial bodies? 2. If this is the case, wouldn't a clock go faster than a clock that is further away from the Earth?

    Time Dilation and Gravity's Effect on Light

    I've been reading about how gravity affects light and time. However, I'm a little confused about the details. Does light lose energy and decrease in frequency the further away it gets from Earth? If so, this means that the frequency of light (the number of light waves per second) increases...
