- 03:5503:55, 27 February 2020 diff hist +14 m Photon I fixed an inconsistency so that <math>\nu</math> was used more consistently

26 March 2018
- 22:2622:26, 26 March 2018 diff hist −106 Superdeterminism I removed the false (and stupid) assertion, "Bell's theorem depends on the assumption of "free will", which does not apply to deterministic theories."

21 July 2017
- 23:3523:35, 21 July 2017 diff hist −57 Shapiro time delay Interpreting the Shapiro delay as light slowed down has NO justification in Relativity. The Relativistic interpretation is that spacetime is dilated.

12 June 2016
- 01:3801:38, 12 June 2016 diff hist +419 Talk:Shapiro time delay The assertion that this only applies to weak field situations should be justified or removed.
21 February 2016
- 02:1402:14, 21 February 2016 diff hist 0 m Graphene →3D: Changed "radical initiated" to "radical-initiated" crosslinking to show that "radical" referred to ionization and not a redundant adjective describing the initiation of crosslinking.
8 September 2015
- 00:1100:11, 8 September 2015 diff hist +72 m Standard atmosphere (unit) →Pressure units and equivalencies: Edited to clarify "total ambient pressure". Since it's the total pressure on some measurement surface, actual or hypothetical, compared to vacuum, I added the word 'vacuum' & completed the ata example.

3 January 2013
- 22:5922:59, 3 January 2013 diff hist +2 m Scalar field →Examples in quantum theory and relativity: Changed "gravitatively" to "gravitationally" since virtually nobody uses the word, "gravitatively" except to define "gravitative" as "of or pertaining to gravitation".
15 December 2012
- 00:4200:42, 15 December 2012 diff hist +5 m Pair-instability supernova Tried to make clear that the core pressure drops because there's less matter pressing down because it has been blown away.
- 00:2000:20, 15 December 2012 diff hist +540 Pair-instability supernova →Photon pressure: Instead of a vague 'photon energy' I specified the type of photon, maximum emission. Made a few edits to the second paragraph, too. Noted the avalanche effect that provides the "bounce" for the supernova.
