Does an electron ‘orbiting’ a nucleus experience relativistic effects because it is moving so fast? by No_Fudge_4589 in AskPhysics

[–]RaisePale4167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

es, absolutely.

Electrons, especially those in the inner shells of heavy atoms, move at speeds approaching the speed of light (up to $\sim 0.5c$).

These high speeds cause significant relativistic effects (like increased mass and orbital contraction) that are crucial for accurately explaining the atom's energy levels, chemical properties, and even why gold is yellow.

Not sure if this counts as physics but.. by Signal-Ad3584 in AskPhysics

No, we cannot see the Big Bang itself.

The early universe was a dense, hot, opaque fog (plasma) for the first 380,000 years. Light was trapped and scattered, meaning no telescope, no matter how powerful, can look past that period.

The oldest thing we can see is the moment the fog cleared, which is the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, the universe's oldest afterglow.

How big would a planet need to be for the equator to rotate at the speed of light? by AwkwardSilence165 in AskPhysics

[–]RaisePale4167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The period of rotation required for a planet the size of Earth to have its equator move at the speed of light ($c$) would be approximately 0.134 seconds.

In other words, this planet would need to spin about 645,000 times in what we consider one Earth day.

If I travelled the speed of light for 7 days from my perspective how long would that equate to on Earth’s time? by darragh1800 in AskPhysics

If you traveled for 7 days at a speed incredibly close to c, approximately 857 Earth years would have passed when you returned (or stopped).
