10 Real Things That Defy The Laws Of Physics

10 Real Things That Defy The Laws Of Physics

The human race has come a long way all thanks to our knowledge of science. We now have a far much better understanding of why and how things happen in a certain way.
But that is not to say we have it all figured out. Some laws of Physics become obsolete when we consider a couple of stuff around us. And that’s the focus of our video today – 10 things that don’t care what Physics says.
#10 Particles That Travel Faster Than Light
Light travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. Commonly, this is the highest known speed that any particle can travel at. And that’s for a good reason.
One of the 20th century’s brightest minds Albert Einstein had drawn this conclusion. According to his special relativity theory, the speed of light is the maximum pace for both energy and matter.
The law has been used extensively in the world of Physics and is a core component in Einstein’s theory. And it’s no surprise. Albert was an intelligent chap and wielded a certain kind of influence in the scientific community – he still does, by the way.
But in 2011, something interesting happened. A group of physicists behind the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tracking Apparatus (OPERA) experiment discovered that some particles can travel faster than light.
In the experiment, the scientists beamed neutrinos from CERN lab near Geneva, Switzerland to the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. The distance between the two is approximately 730 kilometers.
The result?
The beam of neutrinos reached its destination about 60 nanoseconds early meaning it traveled at a speed faster than that of light, hence, quashing Einstein's special theory of relativity. Of course, there was a lot of skepticism in the science community when this revelation was released but more tests proved wrong a law that had been around for over a century.
#9 Tetraneutron
A tetraneutron is hypothetical for a larger part with papers from as far back as 1965 disputing its existence. Tetraneutron here refers to a lone cluster of four neutrons, existing without any protons. This is impossible when you take into account the instability of neutrons.
There have always been attempts to observe them, though. One of these was in 2001 led by theoretical physicist Francisco-Miguel Marques at Ganil accelerator in Caen, France.
The researchers fired atomic nuclei at a carbon target – this is a standard practice in most particle accelerator experiments. In this experiment, the scientists used beryllium-14, beryllium-15, and lithium-11.
By doing this, they were trying to separate beryllium’s cluster of four neutrons. They observed a single flash of light and hypothesized that it could have been caused by four neutrons hitting the same place at the same time. But since their results couldn’t be replicated, this observation was written off.
Another close-enough experiment was conducted in 2016 in Japan. In this case, a beam of helium-8 was fired at helium-4, occasionally producing beryllium-8 nuclei. The tetraneutron might have appeared briefly in this experiment.
#8 The Quantum Zeno Effect
Wikipedia defines the quantum Zeno effect as the suppression of unitary time evolution in quantum systems provided by measurement, interactions with the environment, stochastic fields and so on.
In simpler terms, the quantum Zeno effect refers to a situation where a system is adamant to change because of being under constant observation.
It sounds crazy since the behavior of a particle isn’t usually determined with whether the said particle is being watched or not. A decaying sample, for instance, will go on doing so regardless of whether you have your eyes peeled on it or not. This is so since there is no connection between being watched and decaying.
Take uranium for instance. It’s a highly unstable substance and will undergo radioactive decay over time. But when scientists in Texas sat down to watch a sample, nothing happened. But when they left, the decay went on as usual.
#7 Starlite
Starlite first became known to the public in 1990 thanks to BBC which featured it on the program “Tomorrow’s World”. It was a kind of a heat barrier that was quite revolutionary at that time.
