Oh alright thanks, the fact that it doesn't make 'sense' I can understand because I have seen a lot of things in quantum mechanics that are...shall we say... 'spooky'
However, I thank you for that link its very helpful!
Thanks,

I was reading this article, http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090122/full/news.2009.50.html, and it was talking about how they 'teleported' a Ytterbium ion (Yb+) and mid-way through the article it said that they had to destroy the quantum state of the original Ytterbium ion and they did that by...
Because light bends due to gravity, as can be seen in Gravitational Lensing, if gravity responds to mass and light is bent by gravity, does that not imply that the photon is NOT 100% massless?? That the photon indeed has a very tiny amount of mass?? Because if light bends due to gravity, then...
Superluminal Neutrino Breaks SR and GR...?
I have reading a lot of articles and editorials about apparent neutrinos that went faster than the speed of light by 60 nanoseconds, I read some that say yes and no, so I'm a bit confused. So is it true?? Are there neutrinos that went faster than the...
I have seen and read a few different versions of the Einstein field equations (EFE). For example; R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R = - 8\piGT_{\mu\nu} , R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R + g_{\mu\nu}\Lambda = \frac{8 \pi G}{c^4}T_{\mu\nu} , and 8\piT_{\mu\nu} = G_{\mu\nu}
So which one is...
Oh ok, thank you very much lavinia, you answered all of my questions regarding the natural existence of Euclidean geometry! Now, I have one last question, if Euclidean geometry essentially does not exist, then is pi (∏) still practically useful, because all circles are generally spherical...
Thank you daveb, that explanation is very helpful! :D
When I say 'naturally' I'm not sure how much simpler to say it, does Euclidean Geometry occur naturally; is it apart of nature anywhere in this universe??
Because when in the presence of a gravitational field (force), space is non-Euclidean...
Can someone explain to me in detail, why the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is not equal to pi in non-Euclidean space!
Also, does Euclidean Geometry exist naturally in this universe??
Thanks,
