Notes
- Abstract:
- This study was conducted in an attempt to either further validate the ideas/findings portrayed in Special Relativity and the double-slit experiment, or to provide for a different explanation of the observed phenomenon/theoretical models. The most common accepted idea among physicists is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, and this study was meant to challenge that very belief. It also attempted to explain the diffraction patterns observed in the double-slit experiment through a different means other than the duality of light. In regard to Special Relativity, just as its founder Albert Einstein did, we used thought experiments to analyze how and why something either could, would, or should travel faster than the speed of light. MathCad was used to model different aspects of the double-slit experiment, flic results thus far obtained from this study are inconclusive. The computer models so far indicate the possibility of obtaining two symmetrical peaks in the diffraction patterns of the double-slit experiment, but the remaining infinite number of smaller peaks has not yet and perhaps will not be accounted for from this study.
