The argument is simply that by the word “experiment” we refer to a situation where we can tell others what we have done … Read more

Spectral emissions as an emergent property of space-time

The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six different spectral emission lines of the hydrogen atom whose energy levels can calculated using an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. Later Neils Bohr sought to explain them by using the Rutherford model of … Read more
