Thank you. The design of experiments and inventions are guided by theories and paradigms. I do not know enough about the technique or the theory behind laser cooling to relate them to my visualization. Obviously the theory works but that doesn't mean the paradigmatic concepts which gave rise to th

Harry, I see a great visual example! Thank you. But now my brain is interfering. What about light beams with a beat frequency that's a forward motion?  The 'pattern' would move superluminally forward in the interfering beams. So, if superluminal moire interference beats are an abstract rela

Yes, I have noticed wagon wheels turning in the "wrong" direction in movies. Since wheels do not really behave like this the phenomena of backward moving beats is usually classified as an optical artifact with no deep significance for physics. However, the black and white stripes of the moire beat

Don, There is a lot of material to digest. People who are well versed in the mathematical properties of waves probably don't find any of this astonishing, but until I watched the video of moving moire beats I didn't know beats could move backwards relative to the direction of the motion of the und
