Is light a particle or a wave? Is metal a good heat shield? Is the reason that nothing can go faster than light because we have

not tried hard enough? Is there any difference between antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, and degenerate matter?​

Answer:

Light can act as a wave or a particle. This is called light wave-particle duality, simply that the light has both the characteristics of fluctuations, but also has the characteristics of particles. Light can propagate forward like a wave, and sometimes show the characteristics of particles.

Metal is not heat resistant and therefore it is not a good heat shield. For example pots are made out of metal because they are good conductors of heat.

Light is said to be the fastest, it is because we have not discovered anything faster than light. If someone discover's something faster than light then that will become the fastest. It is not that we have tried hard enough, it is just that our technology, research and veiw of outer space is limited. Implementing good research and technology requires a lot of money, time and expertise. We have much better things to do than to discover something faster then light because even if it's discovered what can we do with it, with our severe lacking research and technology, it's practically useless and good as updating some newspaper articles. When even light can give us a headache.

Dark matter, antimatter, dark energy and degenerate matter can be said to be different. I'm not sure about the intricasies but all have different energy frequencies and effects. Not sure but please do research about it.

Hope this helps you.

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.
