26 mar 2016 · Waves (as we usually think of them) move through some sort of medium. If you flick the end of a jump-rope or string, a wave moves along the rope or string. Waves move through the water, or sound waves through the air, with those materials acting as the medium for the wave motion.
26 mar 2016 · Without quantum physics, string theory could not exist. Here is a look at how quantum theory allows objects to act as both particles and waves. The experiment that proved that light acts like a wave was the double slit experiment.

10 sty 2021 · The telltale stripes of wave motion, and the energy-dependent stripe spacing, show that even larger objects move like a waves until they reach the detector, where they hit like particles. Back...
This section contains video lectures for part 1 of the course.
26 mar 2016 · The solution to the problem of the double slit experiment, a concept at the heart of string theory’s origins and a direct consequence of this early work in quantum physics, took the form of the quantum wavefunction, developed by Erwin Schrödinger.
Unleash your inner armchair physicist with String Theory For Dummies. Brush up on the basics of physics and the approachable math needed to understand string theory. Meet the scientists who discovered string theory and continue to make waves (and particles) in the physics world.
