these photons is governed by the observer — me! The laws governing light, and most of the strange and wonderful effects it has, were first stated by Isaac Newton. Newton was an extraordinary man. He discovered many of the physical principles we use today, and his view of the Universe reigned unchallenged until

I have kept a series of notebooks, now computer based, since J left university. I still have almost all of thes

As Feynman explains in his Lectures in Physics, “...out of all possible paths that light might take from one point another, light takes the path that requires t

Other familiar names, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, and later Feynman and Dyson, each made great leaps into the unknown. But they weren't alone. Physics is a collaborative discipline. Too often science stories are wr
