Usage examples of electromagnetism.

What Einstein proposed was that the velocity-dependencies deduced by Lorentz were not part of some fudge-factor needed for electromagnetism, but that they expressed fundamental properties of the nature of space and time that were true universally, and hence called for a revision of mechanics.

Gravity is carried by ripples in the familiar three space dimensions, while electromagnetism is carried by ripples involving the new, curled-up dimension.

The new equations resulting from the extra dimensions were strikingly reminiscent of those used in the description of electromagnetism, and the strong and the weak forces.

We detect the light from distant quasars only because the laws of electromagnetism are the same ten billion light years away as here.

The Annihilator translates the strong nuclear force into electromagnetism for a fraction of a second, causing atoms to instantly fling apart.

The Standard Model consists of six quarks, six leptons, five known bosons and a postulated sixth, the Higgs boson (named for a Scottish scientist, Peter Higgs), plus three of the four physical forces: the strong and weak nuclear forces and electromagnetism.

The laws of electromagnetism themselves had proved strikingly successful in predicting the existence of propagating waves, their velocity and other quantities, and appeared to be on solid ground.

At low energies what you see are three separate subspaces, for electromagnetism and the weak and strong forces.

And when they'd cooled, the shapes into which they'd frozen had just happened to favor topologies close to a certain ten-dimensional total space-one which gave rise to particles like quarks and electrons, and forces like gravity and electromagnetism.

After another ludicrously brief interval it was joined by electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—.

The four forces you know about are gravitation, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force.

Apparently, whatever energy magic useda matter of considerable debate among the wizards of Dest, with a hybrid of electromagnetism and the weak nuclear interaction credited by the most currently fashionable theoryinterfered slightly with cyborg systems.

That love is a basic force of the universe, like gravity and electromagnetism, like strong and weak nuclear force.

As his ass plummeted, he was reminded that gravity yet to be reckoned with electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force, the other fundamental forces of the universe.
