The problem of two photons

The problem of two photons

Nothing else can travel faster than light. And only particles that can reach that speed in the straight universe are photons. So when we are thinking about the case where two photons are going to different ways, we must realize that if we would sit on another photon, we cannot get any observation from a photon that travels away from us.

Because the speed of light is cosmic constant we would not get the observations of the photons that are coming after us either. So as you see there are two ways to say the same thing. And the answer depends on the way how we describe the edge of the universe.

If we want to answer the question: "Does the universe expand faster than light? " We should describe the edge of the universe.

The edge of the universe can describe as:

1) The edge of the most out gas atoms in the universe, when the speed of expanding follows the Hubble law.

2) The point where the first photons that are left from the Big Bang are reached.

So if we are using photons as describing the edge of the universe the speed of expansion is the speed of light. And the speed of photons that are traveling in the opposite direction is 2X the speed of photons because they are traveling in opposite directions. But the photons themselves cannot cross the speed of light.

The answer is yes and no at the same time. If we are thinking that the edge of the universe is at the point that the first photons that are released in the Big Bang are reaching we might think that the escaping speed between those photons is 2X the speed of the light. But the fact is that the photon itself doesn't cross the speed of light. We can answer the question about the speed of the expanding universe in two ways.

We can say that the expanding speed of the universe is the Hubble Constant is now 69.8+(1.9−1.9) (km/s)/Mpc ((m/s)/Megaparsec), what is the speed of the gas. Or the universe can expand with the speed of light in every direction if we are thinking that the edge of the universe is the point, where the first photons from the Big Bang have reach. So the diverge speed of photons that are traveling to opposite directions is 2X speed of photons. But they cannot cross that speed.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.
