Review on the physical basis of wave–particle duality: Conceptual connection between quantum mechanics and the Maxwell theory

A well-known mystery in quantum mechanics is wave–particle duality: Is an electron a point mass or a physical wave? What is the physical meaning of its wave function? About a hundred years ago, the...

Gravitational Redshift Induces Quantum Interference

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime is used to show that gravitational redshift induces a unitary transformation on the quantum state of propagating photons. It is found that the transformation…

We know energy and mass of a particle can be connected by [Formula: see text]. What is the physical basis of this relation? Historically, it was thought to be based on the principle of relativity…

A precision measurement of the gravitational redshift by the interference of matter waves

The view that gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, an underlying principle of general relativity that has come under scrutiny in connection with the search for a theory of quantum gravity, is supported.

Physical interpretation of Planck’s constant based on the Maxwell theory*

The discovery of the Planck relation is generally regarded as the starting point of quantum physics. Planck's constant h is now regarded as one of the most important universal constants. The physical…

Gravitational redshift of galaxies in clusters as predicted by general relativity

An observation of the gravitational redshift of light coming from galaxies in clusters at the 99% confidence level is reported, which agrees with the predictions of general relativity and its modification created to explain cosmic acceleration without the need for dark energy.

Gravitational Lensing in Astronomy

Although still in its childhood, lensing has established itself as a very useful astrophysical tool with some remarkable successes and is predicted to have an even more luminous future for gravitational lensing.

Tests of general relativity at the post-Newtonian level have reached high precision, including the light defl ection the Shapiro time delay, the perihelion advance of Mercury, and the Nordtvedt effect in lunar motion.

The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment

The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analyzing them is reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by ex- periments such as…

A Determination of the Deflection of Light by the Sun's Gravitational Field, from Observations Made at the Total Eclipse of May 29, 1919

1. The purpose of the expeditions was to determine what effect, if any, is produced by a gravitational field on the path of a ray of light traversing it. Apart from possible surprises, there appeared…

The Concept of Mass

Mass is one of the most fundamental concepts of physics. Understanding and calculating the masses of the elementary particles is the central problem of modern physics, and is intimately connected…

DISCOVERY OF A STRONG LENSING GALAXY EMBEDDED IN A CLUSTER AT z = 1.62

We identify a strong lensing galaxy in the cluster IRC 0218 (also known as XMM-LSS J02182−05102) that is spectroscopically confirmed to be at z = 1.62, making it the highest-redshift strong lens…
