    Some properties of vectors - there is a point I don't understand it .

    Hi Two vectors A and B are equal if they have the same magnitude and the same direction . this property allows us to translate a vector parallel to itself in a diagram without affecting the vector . In fact , for most purposes, any vector can be moved parallel to itself without being...

    Why is it difficult to accept the idea of nonlocality in quantum mechanics?

    I read that measurement of one property affects the outcome of the other entangled item. My question, why must the measurement of one system "affect" the other? More specifically, why can't their properties through time and space be determined by some initial action. For example, let's say we...

    Do particles possess properties before we observe them?

    My question is about which properties a particle can be said to possess. I understand that in accordance with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, one can never know precisely a particle's location and its momentum at a single moment in time. I'm wondering whether it can be said that: A...

    Does Movement of Masses Distort Spacetime Differently?

    As a complete amature, I have a question about gravity and spacetime. Gravity is seen as a distortion of spacetime and we have the traditional view of a mass resting on a rubber sheet, distorting the space around it. But most masses are moving in space - usually fast or very fast. Is there a...
