The bizarre discovery, detailed in a study that has yet to be peer-reviewed, stems from an experiment in which photons were fired into a cloud of atoms cooled to just above absolute zero. In cases where the photons passed through without interacting, researchers found that the atoms were still briefly excited, as though the photons had been absorbed and re-emitted. Meanwhile, when the photons were absorbed, they seemed to reappear before the atoms could even become excited.

Hmm, probably worth double checking no one was reheating their coffee in the microwave during the experiment.

Hello @BrikoX@lemmy.zip,

I'm thinking about closing !interestingasfuck@lemm.ee, and to redirect to this community instead.

You can have a look over there, it was mostly pictures or videos of interesting things, do you think this kind of content would also fit here?

Hi,

I created the community primarily for text based content as that's what I primarily post, but I'm open to other types of content. I updated the community description to reflect that. And the content is a good fit.

If you were to redirect users here, please mention that posts should include a prefix in the title. This helps with filtering, as some clients offer that functionality.

faster-than-light quantum tunneling has already been demonstrated in zero spin particles. maybe this is the first time we’ve noticed a particle with spin that does this
