The Kybalion (full title: The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece) is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) [1] that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.
Ostensibly written by "Three Initiates," The Kybalion was published by the Yogi Publication Society. Whether any of the above has a basis in fact, The Kybalion bears notable structural resemblances to The Arcane Teachings, an anonymous set of six books attributed to Atkinson.
The Kybalion is a book anonymously published in 1908 by three people who called themselves the "Three Initiates", and which expounds upon essential Hermetic principles. [citation needed] In 1924, Walter Scott placed the date of the Hermetic texts shortly after 200 CE, but W. Flinders Petrie placed their origin between 200 and 500 BCE. [51]
A polariton is the result of the combination of a photon with a polar excitation in a material. The following are types of polaritons: Phonon polaritons result from coupling of an infrared photon with an optical phonon; Exciton polaritons result from coupling of visible light with an exciton [12]
Theory [ edit ] The coupling of the two oscillators, photons modes in the semiconductor optical microcavity and excitons of the quantum wells , results in the energy anticrossing of the bare oscillators, giving rise to the two new normal modes for the system, known as the upper and lower polariton resonances (or branches).
Optical rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about the optical axis of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials.
Coincidentia oppositorum is a Latin phrase meaning coincidence of opposites. It is a neoplatonic term attributed to 15th century German polymath Nicholas of Cusa in his essay, De Docta Ignorantia (1440).
A phonon polariton is a type of quasiparticle that can form in some crystals due to the coupling of photons and lattice vibrations. They have properties of both light and sound waves, and can travel at very slow speeds in the material.
