This is totally spurious, since no matter who measured first the other will measure the opposite spin despite the fact that ( in theory ) the other has a 50 % ' probability ' ( 50: 50 chance ) of measuring the same spin, unless data about the first spin measurement has somehow passed faster than light ( of course TI gets around the light speed limit by having information travel backwards in time instead ).

In 1838, Michael Faraday passed a current through a rarefied air filled glass tube and noticed a strange light arc with its beginning at the cathode ( negative electrode ) and its end almost at the anode ( positive electrode ).

Earlier dragoon responsibilities for scouting and picket duty had passed to hussars and similar light cavalry corps in the French, Austrian, Prussian, and other armies.

Some researchers have taken up speculative views, such as Jerzy Strzelczyk, who assumed that in the light of contemporary concepts and habits of marriage of that time ( when as a rule marriages were contracted with teenage girls ) is assumed that Dobrawa had passed her early youth, so, it's probable that she was in her late teens or twenties.

In general, a single wavelength is required for proper analysis, so, in order to selectively filter the light, it is passed through an excitation monochromator, and then that chosen wavelength is passed through the sample cell.

This twisted phase reorients light that has passed through the first polarizer, allowing its transmission through the second polarizer ( and reflected back to the observer if a reflector is provided ).

Round observed light emission when electric current passed through silicon carbide crystals, the principle behind the light emitting diode.

The Guruship was consecutively passed down to nine other Gurus, who were stated to have the divine light of God with them.

Through this harbour passed all the goods to or from Rome, but all the cargo was carried by small and light ships directed to Olbia ( some 50 Kilometers north ), where bigger ships would have trafficked with Ostia.

A simple example is an experiment due to Young where light is passed through two slits.

As shown in the figure, light is passed through two slits and shines on a screen.

In 1922 the newly discovered Protoceratops was seen as its ancestor by Henry Fairfield Osborn, but many decades passed before additional findings came to light.

* Electroluminescence — The phenomenon where a material emits light in response to an electric current passed through it, or to a strong electric field.

If a significant amount of the light passed through the sample contains wavelengths that have much lower extinction coefficients than the nominal one, the instrument will report an incorrectly low absorbance.

SCIAMACHY ( SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY ) compares light coming from the sun to light reflected by the Earth, which provides information on the atmosphere through which the Earth-reflected light has passed.

The moon had sunk below the black crest of the mountains and the land, seen through eyes that had grown accustomed to the absence of light, looked primeval, as if no man had ever trespassed before.

Most eggs contain the pigment melanin which raises their temperature through the absorption of light and also protects them against ultraviolet radiation.

) An example of anisotropy is the light coming through a polarizer.

Hume shows that even light skepticism leads to crushing doubts about the world which-while they ultimately are philosophically justifiable-may only be combated through the non-philosophical adherence to custom or habit.

St. Bonaventure ’ s “ Retracing the Arts to Theology ”, a primary example of this method, discusses the skills of the artisan as gifts given by God for the purpose of disclosing God to mankind, which purpose is achieved through four lights: the light of skill in mechanical arts which discloses the world of artifacts ; which light is guided by the light of sense perception which discloses the world of natural forms ; which light, consequently, is guided by the light of philosophy which discloses the world of intellectual truth ; finally, this light is guided by the light of divine wisdom which discloses the world of saving truth.
