Observation on evanescent waves

An evanescent wave is to Newtonian gravity as a radio wave is to a gravitational wave

Ocean waves are evanescent waves

Evanescent Wave vs. Newtonian Gravity

Evanescent Wave: This is a unique electromagnetic phenomenon that does not propagate. Instead, it is a near-field effect that diminishes exponentially with distance, commonly observed in situations like waveguides or total internal reflection.

Newtonian Gravity: This concept describes a static, non-radiative field characterized by immediate action-at-a-distance. It means that there is no delay or wave-like behavior in how gravitational forces are transmitted.

Connection: Both evanescent waves and Newtonian gravity illustrate localized, non-radiative interactions. Importantly, they do not dynamically transmit energy across spacetime.

Radio Wave vs. Gravitational Wave

Radio Wave: This is an electromagnetic wave that propagates through space (known as far-field radiation) and carries energy at the speed of light.

Gravitational Wave: According to general relativity, this refers to ripples in spacetime that also propagate and carry energy at the speed of light.

Connection: Both radio waves and gravitational waves are far-field, radiative phenomena governed by wave equations—Maxwell’s equations for radio waves and Einstein’s equations for gravitational waves.

Illustration: Both evanescent and oceanic wave sizes decrease exponentially with increasing distance.

Video: Quantum Tunneling Challenges Einstein’s Limits

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
― Carl Sagan.

One such phenomenon that captures the wonder of the universe is Quantum Tunneling. Picture this: Split a photon beam. One half races at light speed—obeying the rules. The other? It slams into a wall. But in the quantum realm, walls are…negotiable. Particles don’t “go through”—they cheat! They vanish here and reappear there, like cosmic teleporters. Nimtz measures those renegade photons and—BAM!—they outpace their law-abiding siblings. This is the astonishing reality of Quantum Tunneling.

🔬 Can information travel faster than light? Physicist Günter Nimtz claims he’s done the impossible—sending a microwave signal 4.7 times the speed of light using quantum tunneling! In this controversial experiment, he split a signal, tunneled part through a barrier, and even transmitted Mozart’s 40th Symphony… backwards in time?

I found a documentary from way back; Günter Nimtz explains his own claims:

Breaking Einstein? Scientist Sends Mozart Faster Than Light Using Quantum Tunneling!


⚛️ The Science Breakdown:

  • How does quantum tunneling defy Einstein’s light-speed limit?
  • Why do physicists like Raymond Chow argue this isn’t true information transfer?
  • Could this experiment rewrite the rules of time and causality?
Can informatrion travel faster than light?

Nimtz sparked an international debate: Is this a groundbreaking discovery or a misinterpretation of quantum randomness? Dive into the mind-bending experiment that blurs the line between science fiction and reality—and decide for yourself if time travel messages could ever be possible.


💬 Comment below: Do you think faster-than-light communication is achievable, or is Einstein still right?

(Spoiler alert: Einstein is right. But not in Zero or One-Dimensional Objects space (0D-1D).
Einstein provided crucial insights into the nature of spacetime and gravitation, but he did not directly describe the behavior of quantum mechanics in non-Riemannian spaces.
