Recently saw the invention on PhysOrg for a device the recharges a AA battery using "waste" EM radiation from the ambient environment. In the photos, the author was placing an array of them near a power sub-station. This brings up two questions: 1) Does this create an inductive load on the...

Will the set of eigenvalues of an incident matrix derive an equivalent notion of a graph spectrum as it does with an adjacency matrix? Specifically: Let sa be the set of eigenvalues of an adjacency matrix for graph G. And, Let si be the set of eigenvalues of an incident matrix for...

Hmm very interesting insight into that. I had naively assumed it would be aligned with the spin axis. I am thinking that a distance of 0.5 to 1 AUs is a minimum. But I am just guessing. Perhaps I am over thinking this. :)

Thank you for this reply. I have a question: will a strong magnetic field affect non-ferrous materials? For example, if the station were made of some type of material that did not interact with it, would it not then have affect on how deep within the field it was? (Notwithstanding gravity)...

Thanks for the reply. I had posted here because I felt the Wikipedia article on maganatars did not sufficiently answer my questions or give me a level of assurance. I was hoping to find an authoritative response from an astronomer or cosmologist before I based my entire novel around the concept.

This is a question for the astronomers and other scientists that have knowledge of magnatars. I am conducting some research for a science fiction novel, and I would like to be somewhat reasonable in my canon. Here is my question: How many AUs would be the minimum safe distance from a somewhat...

Right, and that radiated power is dependent on the acceleration of the charged particle. Thus, my question is, if the charged particle is at zero acceleration, it is no longer radiating, correct? Now consider a system of those charged particles (an ice cube for example), all at zero...

After doing some reading, I have found what it essentially means. In a nutshell it means that the mathematical expressions of QM are "precise" to the definition of the phenomenon, unlike classical symmetry, which are approximations. My question now becomes, what is the reasoning that the the QM...

Thanks a ton!

Not getting symmetry at all. I keep reading over and looking for various materials on the subject, but I still can not seem to fully grasp it. Could someone explain what symmetry means in quantum mechanics in a way that a new learner can grasp? This question also applies to super-symmetry...

In a lecture on Maxwell's equations, I noticed that for radiation to occur there has to be acceleration. Does this have any relation to specific heat? I have many questions regarding this, actually. If radiative heat is always mediated by photons, and radiation only occurs with acceleration...

Thank you :smile:

That is not the same thing as defining what information is. And say that a fermion is fundamental is an assumption. It is fundamental now, but it may not be later. If that turns out to be the case, then we were wrong. Information is non-physical. I prefer to use the term information rather than...

It isn't static, but infinite. It can, through the time dimension, be projected dynamically. The model needs to be flexible enough to describe space-time or an information stream, such as a FM radio signal, but a tool to view causality within the maxent field; without a time dimension we would...

A variable is a declaration, and the definition is what is obscure. We can even discuss/declare the unknown and make educated guesses, but be without the definition (e.g.: what is an electron, really?). Thus, this deeper truth isn't a set of hidden variables, but a realm we can either not access...
