26 March 2018

21 July 2017

• 23:3523:35, 21 July 2017 diff hist −57 Shapiro time delay Interpreting the Shapiro delay as light slowed down has NO justification in Relativity. The Relativistic interpretation is that spacetime is dilated.

12 June 2016

• 01:3801:38, 12 June 2016 diff hist +419 Talk:Shapiro time delay The assertion that this only applies to weak field situations should be justified or removed.

21 February 2016

• 02:1402:14, 21 February 2016 diff hist 0 m Graphene →3D: Changed "radical initiated" to "radical-initiated" crosslinking to show that "radical" referred to ionization and not a redundant adjective describing the initiation of crosslinking.

8 September 2015

• 00:1100:11, 8 September 2015 diff hist +72 m Standard atmosphere (unit) →Pressure units and equivalencies: Edited to clarify "total ambient pressure". Since it's the total pressure on some measurement surface, actual or hypothetical, compared to vacuum, I added the word 'vacuum' & completed the ata example.

3 January 2013

• 22:5922:59, 3 January 2013 diff hist +2 m Scalar field →Examples in quantum theory and relativity: Changed "gravitatively" to "gravitationally" since virtually nobody uses the word, "gravitatively" except to define "gravitative" as "of or pertaining to gravitation".

• 00:4200:42, 15 December 2012 diff hist +5 m Pair-instability supernova Tried to make clear that the core pressure drops because there's less matter pressing down because it has been blown away.
• 00:2000:20, 15 December 2012 diff hist +540 Pair-instability supernova →Photon pressure: Instead of a vague 'photon energy' I specified the type of photon, maximum emission. Made a few edits to the second paragraph, too. Noted the avalanche effect that provides the "bounce" for the supernova.
