Stegosaurus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Is surging the electrons and protons of an atom a certain distance a waist of time. In this surge the atoms will stay intake as long as it number of electrons and protons stay the same. Is this how signals work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joigus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sorry, I don't understand your question. A waste of time? That's not a physical concept. This doesn't sound like a speculation. It seems to me you're asking a question. We'll help you rephrase, as clearly something's bothering you. In particular, I don't understand what you mean by "surging" or by "stay intake".

Stegosaurus Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Or is it used to count the number of charged electrons and charged protons and see how far of a distance was traveled The speed at which charged particles travel;heat up the glass and the project light through it....this is how a light bulb works right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk to you, joigus! I think Steg means "waste" instead of "waist", and "intact" instead of "intake". By surge, I assumed an increased rate of something, likely power.

Signals from atoms can be obtained without need of ionizing them. That's what an MRI does, for example, in which oscillating magnetic fields get the atom to radiate at low --non-ionizing-- frequencies. There are many other kind of signals you can get from atoms without ionizing them --making them lose their electrons--. Most of those signals from atoms are radiation of different frequencies. In the other case that you mention: 1 hour ago, Stegosaurus said: The speed at which charged particles travel;heat up the glass and the project light through it....this is how a light bulb works right More or less, yes. But in this case it's a metal. A metal can be conceived of as many atoms forming a common "molecule" --a metallic crystal-- in which the internal electrons --called valence electrons-- are close to their nuclei, while the conduction electrons form a common quantum highway --a conduction orbital--. Metals have a strong tendency to lose their outer electrons. But they can't get too far off. As you say, the light is due to the conduction electrons finding resistance and heating up the filament, rather than the glass. The glass is heated because it's so close to all this action.

I'l have to do some creative translation to try to answer: Surge = move suddenly and powerfully forward=acceleration? Waist of time = waste of time = a delay relative to something. Do you mean something like time dilation? If my interpretation is correct the answer is: Yes, if you accelerate atoms (matter) relative* to a stationary observer it will cause a clock riding along with the accelerated matter to measure less time passed than what the stationary observer measures on a stationary clock. *) for instance a certain distance along a circular path until the atoms are back at the location of the stationary observer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
