Flatland optics. III. Achromatic diffraction.
In the previous two sections of "Flatland optics" [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 17, 1755 (2000); 18, 1056 (2001)] we described the basic principles of two-dimensional (2D) optics and showed that a wavelength lambda in three-dimensional (3D) space (x, y, z) may appear in Flatland (x, z) as a wave with another wavelength Lambda=lambda/cos alpha. The tilt angle alpha can be modified by a 3D-Spaceland indivi...
متن کاملFlatland optics. II. Basic experiments.
In "Flatland optics: fundamentals" [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 17, 1755 (2000)] we described the basic principles of two-dimensional (2D) optics and showed that a wavelength lambda in three-dimensional (3D) space (x,y,z) may appear in Flatland (x,z) as a wave with another wavelength, lambda = lambda/cosalpha. The tilt angle alpha can be modified by a 3D (Spaceland) individual who then is able to influe...
متن کاملThe World in Eleven Dimensions: a Tribute to Oskar Klein
Current attempts to find a unified theory that would reconcile Einstein’s General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, and explain all known physical phenomena, invoke the Kaluza-Klein idea of extra spacetime dimensions. The best candidate is M-theory, which lives in eleven dimensions, the maximum allowed by supersymmetry of the elementary particles. We give a non-technical account. An Appendix pr...
متن کاملThe Dark Side of the Code (Transcript of Discussion)
Simon Foley: Thanks Bruce. This is a joint talk. I’m going to give a brief introduction and some context, and then Olgierd will take over with more detail. Following up on Bruce’s comment, I remember Bob Morris would sometimes describe security as absence of surprise and we’ve been looking at the security surprises that result from programmer error. For a programmer, an implementation fails if ...
متن کاملEscape from flatland.
In 1884, midway in time between the widespread acceptance of Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the rediscovery of Mendel, the English clergyman Edwin Abbott Abbott (writing under the apt pseudonym of A. Square) published his classic Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions (Abbott, 1884). The inhabitants of Flatland, a two dimensional space (essentially a sheet of paper) have distorted vie...
