Drops of Time Quantum 5

Summary

The theory of special relativity and quantum mechanics has its mysteries that overrides the common sense of people living in a world sprint or restrict to Newtonian physics. Some examples are also presented ..

Time Quantum Drops 5

The Mysteries of Relativity

Objects that decreases in length

According to the theory of relativity an object moving in the direction of movement length decreases as speed increases up to remove when it reaches the speed of light in a vacuum.

The mass of an object increases with speed

The increasing mass of a moving object, as speed gains to be infinite at the speed of light. The first experimental verification of this effect was presented at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (more than three miles long), in California, which accelerated electrons, already close to the speed of light was the increase of the mass of 40,000. Overall, a soccer ball that weighs about 450 grams from accelerating to full speed near the speed of light can weigh more than the Sun!

The rhythm of time of a body decreases with increasing speed

This effect of relativity is true also with increasing speed until the time stops completely when the body reaches the speed of light. This unusual phenomenon has given rise to the paradox twins: if a brother of a pair of twins make a trip in a spaceship near the speed of light, returning to Earth, would be younger than his brother who stayed here during the same time. This is not fiction. It is an effect of relativity has been verified experimentally. A high precision atomic clock in orbit Earth presents significant differences with respect to time of a clock synchronized with the same stationary on the ground. The science fiction film Planet of the Apes is no longer fiction in the future if man will travel at speeds near the speed of light. It should be remembered that the theory of relativity prohibits a body has the same speed of light, but the equation shows that the relativistic mass can exceed the speed of light, which would lead to unobserved particles to tákeons now in the journal Nature. That would allow travel into the past, leading to the grandfather paradox: a person can travel back in time and kill your grandfather, but if that happened she would not have born. Also the trip to the future could be through holes called wormholes would allow travel between parallel universes, if they exist. Time machines are feasible in unorthodox situations. Another example of the relativity of time is interplanetary communication. When man land on Mars centers space controllers on Earth will only receive the confirmation of the landing 20 minutes later, a 'hello' received from the astronaut in the Martian soil and is a past event, but for us it is present. When we look at the sky we are looking to the past. A star is not may no longer exist, what we see are the photons that come out of it for years, thousands of years, millions of years, or even billions of years in the case of a galaxy, quasar, or a neutron star, the black hole appears only indirect evidence. Space Telescope Hubble has photographed galaxies that are at the beginning of time, depending on the model of the Big Bang.

Suppose your Newtonian reflector telescope has a mirror 25 cm diameter target with a focal length of 2m

What increase with eye bags with focal legths of: a.) 9mm, b.) c. 20mm and 55mm)? What is the angular resolution of telescopes?

Magnification = lens focal length divided between the focal length of the eyepiece. 2m = 2.000 mm, so the 9mm eyepiece gives 2000 / 9 = 222 power, 20 mm gives 2000/20 = 100 gives power and 55mm 2000/55 = 36 power.

I love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114 Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount. Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about 45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114 brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine tuning just right. As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic, the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not worth the trouble. Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's Firstscope 70EQ. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Low cost Good optics Serviceable K20 eyepiece Cons: Wobbly mount Difficult to collimate Plastic finder and focuser

The Orion SpaceProbe 130 EQ Reflector is a Newtonian reflector telescope packaged with a sturdy equatorial mount, two Explorer II eyepieces, a 6x30 finder scope, and Orion‘s Starry Night Special Edition software. Invented by Sir Isaac Newton, reflector telescopes provide more light gathering power per dollar than any other telescope design. With 130mm (5.1 inches) of aperture, the SpaceProbe 130 produces images that are twice as bright as 90mm telescopes and more than four times brighter than 60mm beginner scopes. The Orion SpaceProbe 130 EQ Reflector with its Explorer II eyepieces serves up bright, clear images of the Moon, the planets, and even deep space objects like star clusters and galaxies. The 25mm eyepiece magnifies the image by 36 times; when I look at the Pleiades or Seven Sisters cluster at 36X the SpaceProbe 130 shows me a bright open cluster with dozens of point-like stars filling the field of view. When I use the 10mm eyepiece (90X magnification) the lunar disk fills the field of view and the rings of Saturn are plainly resolved. And when I use an optional Ultima 2X Barlow with the 10mm eyepiece for 180X magnification I can see the cloud bands of Jupiter and pick out individual stars in bright globular clusters like M13. The EQ2 equatorial mount included with the Orion SpaceProbe 130 EQ Reflector comes partially assembled, but it shouldn’t take long to set up. The trick to using an equatorial mount is to point the polar axis at Polaris, the North Star. Once the mount is aligned and balanced, the telescope tracks stars and planets at high power with just a turn of one slow motion knob. You can even add an optional motor drive for hands free tracking. The Orion SpaceProbe 130 EQ Newtonian Reflector Telescope is a simply a great value. The Explorer II eyepieces deliver bright sharp images of the Moon, the planets and the stars, and the EQ2 mount can be motorized for hands free tracking. --Jeff Phillips Pros: More than 4 times brighter than 60mm scopes Includes two eyepieces and a 6x30 finder Solid equatorial mount and aluminum tripod Starry Night software and SkyTheatre DVD included

Tips for a new telescope (Newtonian reflector maybe)?

Hi folks, I'm a little novice amateur astronomer asmallish refractor telescope. It is very unstable and difficult to find things. I am desperate to get some good views of planets (Jupiter I have achieved so far only) nebula and galaxies. I saw a great future Newtonian Reflector on ebay that went for £ 250 ($ 500). Support and fitters seemed far superior to mine. Any advice on purchasing one thing to achieve my desires?

A Newt is a great scope to start. You can get a good deal on eBay, but you can also get a bit of rubbish as well. The website, cloudy nights as some comments that may help you decide what type of scope to buy. Look for some clubs in your area. Get the opinions of the members there. Many of them can prove their scopes during the observation of a club to see how you like. That might be the best place to go before you plop down your cash.

Description

The 150mm (6") Newtonian equatorial telescope with 1400mm focal length is the most popular size telescope for the more serious beginning or intermediate level astronomy enthusiast, and for good reason. The large light gathering power of this 6" telescope makes it ideal for deep-sky observation of galaxies, star clusters and nebulae, as well as lunar and planetary observing. This makes for a very useful and versatile instrument that can take an observer from the very first time looking through a telescope's eyepiece, through years of observing interesting subjects near and far in the night sky.

This version of the 6" Newtonian telescope offers more portability than the standard longer tube Newtonian without sacrificing power or performance. The short tube of this model is only 19" long and has a built-in correction lens, giving it all the focal length of the standard model, while reducing aberrations.

The motor drive has a variable speed control so you can speed up or slow down the right ascension tracking speed. Also, there is a North/South switch so you can use the motor either in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, depending on where you live.This manufacturer has more than 15 years experience in the field of optical equipments Their OEM products such as telescope, microscope, riflescope, compass, etc., are all over the world. This telescope was manufactured in the very same factory that makes optical products for Bushnell, Tasco, Konus and many other name brand.This is an absolutely high quality product you can trust.

I love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114 Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount. Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about 45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114 brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine tuning just right. As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic, the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not worth the trouble. Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's Firstscope 70EQ. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Low cost Good optics Serviceable K20 eyepiece Cons: Wobbly mount Difficult to collimate Plastic finder and focuser
