Introduction My chat with Gemini about photons continued this week. This time I explored its take on visualization of a photon as a wavepacket. A traveling energy bundle, quantum of the electromagnetic field (aka photon field). A model that’s more useful – perhaps even weirder – than the trope of an oh-so-small ball. A chat… Continue reading AIsaysWhat.physics – the take of scrape – wavepacket chat
Introduction Last month I saw an uptick in my Google Web traffic for the question “How big [or large] is a photon?“ I’ve been exploring AI chabot takes on various topics for a while. So, I recently asked Google that question. How was the reply? Well, Google’s AI Overview certainly was better than you’d likely… Continue reading AIsaysWhat.physics – the take of scrape – photon chat

There’s a lot of media coverage on the upcoming total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. More attention than I remember for any eclipse event. These events have been noteworthy throughout history. Varied reactions and interpretations. This Space.com article “How Eclipses Drove 2,000 Years of Math: A Q&A With Stephen Wolfram” (August 18, 2017) highlights… Continue reading Eclipse as tale of computation
