  2. Feynman checkerboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_checkerboard

    The Feynman checkerboard, or relativistic chessboard model, was Richard Feynman's sum-over-paths formulation of the kernel for a free spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle moving in one spatial dimension. It provides a representation of solutions of the Dirac equation in (1+1)-dimensional spacetime as discrete sums.

  3. Magnesium oxide wallboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide_wallboard

    However, some projects continued to use magnesia. New York City's Brooklyn Bridge base is made from locally mined cement, a mixture of calcium oxide and magnesia cement commonly called Rosendale cement, the only natural non-fired cement made in the US. Magnesia cement boards were approved for construction use in the US around 2003.

  4. Hardboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardboard

    Hardboard is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser, stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibers that have been highly compressed. [ 3 ] The density of hardboard is higher than 500 kg/m 3 (31 lb/cu ft), [ 4 ] usually about 800–1,040 kg/m 3 (50–65 lb/cu ft). [ 5 ]

  5. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    Since m 0 does not change from frame to frame, the energy–momentum relation is used in relativistic mechanics and particle physics calculations, as energy and momentum are given in a particle's rest frame (that is, E ′ and p ′ as an observer moving with the particle would conclude to be) and measured in the lab frame (i.e. E and p as ...

  6. Particle board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_board

    Particle board, also known as particleboard or chipboard, is an engineered wood product, belonging to the wood-based panels, manufactured from wood chips and a synthetic, mostly formaldehyde-based resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed under a hot press, batch- or continuous- type, and produced. [1]

  7. Relativistic mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mechanics

    In physics, relativistic mechanics refers to mechanics compatible with special relativity (SR) and general relativity (GR). It provides a non- quantum mechanical description of a system of particles, or of a fluid , in cases where the velocities of moving objects are comparable to the speed of light c .

  8. Relativistic particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_particle

    This condition implies that the speed of the particle is close to the speed of light. According to the Lorentz factor formula, this requires the particle to move at roughly 85% of the speed of light. Such relativistic particles are generated in particle accelerators, [a] as well as naturally occurring in cosmic radiation.

  9. Ultrarelativistic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrarelativistic_limit

    Below are few ultrarelativistic approximations when .The rapidity is denoted : ⁡ Motion with constant proper acceleration: d ≈ e aτ /(2a), where d is the distance traveled, a = dφ/dτ is proper acceleration (with aτ ≫ 1), τ is proper time, and travel starts at rest and without changing direction of acceleration (see proper acceleration for more details).
