Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by a student writing a thesis on supersymmetry, including requests for resources and guidance on research methodologies. Participants share their perspectives on how to effectively seek help and find relevant materials.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses a need for assistance with their thesis on supersymmetry, specifically seeking online resources due to limited access to books in their region.
  • Another participant advises that specific questions are necessary to receive helpful answers, emphasizing the importance of clarity in requests for help.
  • One participant suggests a specific website, Warren Siegel's home page, as a valuable resource for materials related to supersymmetry and string theory.
  • Another participant criticizes the original poster for not conducting sufficient research independently and encourages them to utilize online resources like arXiv for academic papers.
  • A later reply references a statement from Siegel regarding the validity of established theories in physics, highlighting the importance of rigorous proof and the challenges of disproving well-supported theories.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the necessity of asking specific questions to receive useful help. However, there is disagreement regarding the approach to research, with some participants emphasizing the need for independent effort while others focus on providing direct resources.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express concerns about the availability of resources in certain regions and the financial constraints faced by students, which may limit their ability to access necessary materials for their research.

Shakeel,

The best way to get a question answered is to ask one. No one here knows what you need to know about or don't understand. The more specific the question the more likely you will be to get an answer. I hope you don't think I am being mean, I just want you to understand that most likely you will not see a lot of people rushing to answer your un-asked questions. I don't know much about supersymmetry, or why we need it, but simply asking for "help" (with what?) will not get you anywhere.
good luck,
Norm

actualy i want some helping material like papers on net because in pakistan there is not much books on this topic espacially and i can not aford to by books do to poor financial conditions.Iam a pakistani student keep in mind please thank you
 
There is a very good place to check on the net if you are a physicist :

Warren Siegel's home page

You will find here a huge course entitled "Fields", another one on string field theory, and for your concern, the Superspace is also available. Note that whenever you are tired, you can also check a small but unforgetable article, named Stuperspace.
 
Shakeel, should I say you are a lazy researcher!
I have done a lot of work using the net as a main source of information about SUSY and I have done a lot of search and could find fortunes.
Please give urself a chance and do search, the nat has a lot and you can use it all.
And yes, as norman said, ask a specific question.
And not to waste ur time, here is a link

xxx.lanl.gov

it is called the arXiv.

Neat link, humanino. I have bookmarked it and will continue reading it soon.

One of the things Siegel says, which should be read by all P.F. members before they start a thread on why their own ideas on relativity or quantum theory are superior, is:

"I have proven that special relativity/quantum mechanics is wrong."
You mean you did an experiment whose results disagree with the predictions of that theory? I didn't think so. You mean you proved it is self-contradictory? Not possible: Mathematically it's an elementary system, whose consistency is easy to check. You might as well claim that you can prove 2+2=5. (If you think you can do that, I'm willing to give you $2+$2 change for a $5 bill.) If you think you have found an inconsistency, you have probably made an assumption that is not implied by the theory. The fact is that these theories are not only well confirmed by experiment, but practical use is made of them every single day.
