Certein bodies... become luminous when heated. Their luminosity disappears after some time, but the capacity of becoming luminous afresh through heat is restored to them by the action of a spark, and also by the action of radium.

About This Quote

One of the most commonly used formulae in physics is the Lorentz Transformation. The Lorentz Transformation is an equation that allows you to change units of measurement so that you can compare units that are based on time with units that are based on space. One of the most interesting aspects about this equation is that when one energy is transformed into another, the energy remains in its original form. This means that if I start with 1 joule and stretch it out in length by making it longer, that 1 joule will have the same energy as it started out with. In other words, no matter how much I stretch out my 1 joule of energy, each unit will have the same amount of energy as it came from.
