Quantum Electrodynamics
In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. QED mathematically describes all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons and represents the quantum counterpart of classical electromagnetism giving a complete account of matter and light interaction. In technical terms, QED can be described as a perturbation theory of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Richard Feynman called it "the jewel of physics" for its extremely accurate predictions of quantities like the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the Lamb shift of the energy levels of hydrogen. History The first formulation of a quantum theory describing radiation and matter interaction is attributed to British scientist Paul Dirac, who ( ...

Granville Gee Bee R-6
The Granville Gee Bee R-6 International Super Sportster, named "Q.E.D." (latin: ''quod erat demonstrandum'' "it is proven"), and later named "''Conquistador del Cielo''" (Spanish: "sky conqueror"), was the last in a series of racing and touring monoplane aircraft from the Granville Brothers. The R-6H was dogged with bad luck throughout its career and never finished any race it entered. Development Design work on the Gee Bee R-6 had begun in 1933, but the firm went bankrupt shortly afterwards in October 1933. Then, on 11 February 1934, Zanford Granville died in Spartanburg, South Carolina, when he crashed in the Gee Bee Model E Sportster he was delivering. This aircraft was intended to finance a new company to be based in New York called Granville, Miller & De Lackner. The R-6H would eventually be completed for Floyd B. Odlum, on behalf of Jacqueline Cochran for the MacRobertson Air Race in 1934. The touring aircraft was designed with large fuel tanks to handle the long legs ne ...

QED (play)
''QED'' is a play by American playwright Peter Parnell that chronicles significant events in the life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It presents scenes from a fictional day in Feynman's life, less than two years before his death, interweaving many strands from his biography, from the Manhattan project to the ''Challenger'' disaster inquiry to more personal topics such as the death of Feynman's wife and his own fight with cancer. The play, which grew out of a collaboration between Parnell, actor Alan Alda, and director Gordon Davidson, premiered in 2001. The original production, directed by Davidson and starring Alda as Feynman, was performed first at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and, from late 2001 to mid-2002, on Broadway. Name The name refers to both Quantum ElectroDynamics, a field in particle physics, and Q.E.D. (), a phrase used at the end of a mathematical proof, to indicate completeness. Plot Set in June, 1986, less than two years before Feynma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Strange Theory Of Light And Matter
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archai ...

QED Records
Emanem Records is a record company and independent record label founded in London, England in 1974 by Martin Davidson and Madelaine Davidson to record free improvisation. Its headquarters moved to New York City (1975–76), New Jersey (1979, recordings released as Quark Records), Massachusetts (1979, recordings released as QED Records), and Sydney (1986–88), releasing about 25 records before returning to London in the 1990s and issuing compact discs.
