Light Scattering by Particles: Computational Methods S C Hill, S. C. Hill
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated

This MPS model is a practicable method of calculating the optical fields arising in the scattering from particle aggregates and is straightforwardly extensible to arbitrary illumination and to more complex internal-particle structures, such as stratified spheres. Mercury and Venus, orbiting closer to the sun than the earth, are inferior .. Apr 4, 2014 - Here's an introductory presentation to N-body simulation techniques for the gravitational Furthermore, for practical reasons a live dark matter halo is often modelled with particles more massive than disc particles, which may introduce some scattering and heating that depends on the scale of the mass difference between the particle species. Therefore, in the interest of computational speed and a more controlled experiment, we use a static dark matter halo. Light scattering and absorption characteristics of optically soft particles – (Subodh K. Sep 18, 2013 - In particle physics, Richard Feynman's method of measuring scattering amplitudes has problems. Much of the effort to find new physics has been compared with stumbling and groping around a huge room full of all sorts of clutter in the dark, looking for a light switch so that you can see the door to the next room. He sketched line “You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.” Which, as stated . Examples of particle distributions. Dec 4, 2012 - “Thanks to this deep bias, it's possible that we have missed the bigger picture: the mounting evidence that the fundamental rules that govern our universe cannot be expressed in terms of [a traditional computation].” To demonstrate the point, Wharton “In this view, the reason light bends at an air/water interface is not because of any algorithm-like chain of cause-and-effect, but rather because it's globally more efficient,” explains Wharton. Scattering dims light, an effect that we call extinction. No one had done this prior to Copernicus, because up to that time nearly everyone was a geocentrist, and such a computation was not possible in the Ptolemaic model. Vital applications of this model include the exact computation of forces exerted on irregular objects in optical traps and the simulation of light propagation through biological tissues.

Jun 12, 2013 - Some recent creationists have attempted to address the light travel time problem indirectly with an implied appeal to a small universe.
