tachyon
A purely speculative particle, which is presumed to travel faster than light. According to Einstein's equations of special relativity, a particle with an imaginary rest mass and a velocity greater than c would have a real momentum and energy. Ironically, the greater the kinetic energy of a tachyon, the slower it travels, approaching c asy [..]

Young's experiment; double-slit experiment
A famous experiment which shows the wave nature of light (and indeed of other particles). Light is passed from a small source onto an opaque screen with two thin slits. The light is diffracted through these slits and develops an interference pattern on the other side of the screen. Navigation. Erik Max Francis -- TOP Welcome to my homepage [..]

Wave-particle duality
The principle of quantum mechanics which implies that light (and, indeed, all other subatomic particles) sometimes act like a wave, and sometime act like a particle, depending on the experiment you are performing. For instance, low frequency electromagnetic radiation tends to act more like a wave than a particle; high frequency electromagnetic [..]

weak equivalence principle; principle of uniqueness of freefall
The idea within general relativity that the worldline of a freefalling body is independent of its composition, structure, or state. This principle, embraced by Newtonian mechanics and gravitation when Newton set the inertial and gravitational masses equal to each other. This principle is incorporated into a stronger version with the equivalenc [..]
