Everything in the space is bent, even light. This causes the light to presume to be brighter then it really is. Astronomers Professor Pedro Ferreira, Dr [...]

New Research Promises Better Atomic Clocks
May 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
The most accurate time keepers in the world are atomic clocks. Thet tell time based on the absorption of a very specific and unchanging microwave frequency, which induces electrons in an atom to “jump” from one particular energy level to another. But with a little research scientists will be able to further the advancement of atomic [...]
