... The existence of two clocks A and B such that each of them runs slowly than the other is the root of a bitter controversy (H. Dingle case, revisited here in Chapter 52), in my opinion not sufficiently attended by the scientific community [102] [212, p. [153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168]. Consider now two sets of identical clocks, the set of A-clocks placed in the reference frame RF o and the set of B-clocks placed in RF v ( Figure 8.1). ...

... Before the measurements were taken, an internal calibration of the thermal camera was carried out in the laboratory using a blackbody. The total energy a blackbody radiates and the wavelength of maximum emittance depend on the temperature of the blackbody and can be described by StefanBoltzmann's and Wien's laws, respectively (Walker 2008;Tipler 2000). ...

... From mechanics, we know that a wave cannot be transmitted along a string except when the string is under tension [9] and, based on the = √ ⁄ formula, the speed of wave propagation along any ideal stretched string depends only on the string's linear density (string mass per unit length) and the tension [9]. Accordingly, the Luminiferous Aether that transmits light should be a set of stretched strings with linear density , in which light propagates at a speed and according to the relation = √ ℎ ℎ ⁄ . ...

... Radioactivity is believed to be a random ("stochastic") process, impossible to predict regardless of how long the atom existed. Three models are adjudged successful to partially or fully account for the effect: the collective model; independent particle model; and the combined model, acclaimed most successful of the three, Halliday et al. (2002). Beyond numerical nuclidic proton-neutron balance, particularly the concept of magic numbers, conventional notion sees no further details on the specific causality of nuclear instability. ...

... Faraday had a remarkable capacity to visualize electric and magnetic fields. This talent for visualization, which "is attested to by the fact that his collected laboratory notebooks do not contain a single equation" ( Halliday, Resnick & Walker, 2004, p. 562), presumably played an important role in his scientific success. The periodic table was discovered by making an analogy with the periodic nature of a piano keyboard, involving both auditory and visual modalities. ...
