From: spudnik on 20 May 2010 23:49 um, can we borrow a can of beer? thusNso: maether decompreththing aether createth light waveth, and there'th too much thibbilanth in there. A=mcc -- ba-doom! thusNso: on the wayside, one should preliminarily determine what a "beam" is, that is split by the beamsplitter; people, who habitually think of a particle, when use of the word, quantum, is made for the click of a geigercounter (well, those might be ions) or what ever. that is, a laser beam is just a very special case, a highly modified or shaped set of waves, or a standing wave of some sort, frequency, polarity of lightwaves ... not Newton's clacking balls! can a photon be only one cycle of light? thusNso: hey; maybe they'd let you look at your trophy with your old 3d glasses! thusNso: dood, my valu of pi is lots simpler to calculate than yours -- seven cans of beer & a string! thusNso: nice cartoon; is there only one beamsplitter in Sagnac? --Pi, the surfer's canonical value, is not constructible with a pair of compasses .. but, could be with a pair and a half of compasses; dyscuss. |
