Thank you for the replies. It seems that what I'm trying to is impossible. My main goal was to create an n-body simulation. But I need limited space, the space cannot go to infinity in all direction. My solution was to wrap it up like a torus. Which then poses the question, how would gravity...

I am trying to make understand gravity on a flat 2-D torus. To help myself get my head around it, I simplify the problem into a 1-D torus. Let's have a 1-D space (or line). Instead of the left part of the line going infinitely to the left and the right part of the line going infinitely to the...

does neutron have magnetic moment due to non neutral quark? Umm... thanks fredrik, I checked ur link but... I don't really understand it. So, for all purpose and intention, spin is just a vector that all elementary particle has, and it obey angular momentum commutator relation? And it arise...

I understand that an electron spin is intrinsic. We call it spin because electron has a magnetic moment, which would be naturally produced if the electron is physically spinning. All we know is that for whatever reason, electron has a magnetic moment. My question is, how do we know if neutral...

so, a single photon cannot be described as an EM wave? I mean I fully understand the idea that particle is a matter-wave. I am doing QM so it is pretty familiar. The problem is I that I cannot yet reconcile the idea that a matter wave is an EM wave as well. I have no idea what that means.

so, combining the two response, the light curve and follow the geodesic? (I mean how would it is understood so as to be able to be applied to GR and SR ) how about if there is a kink in the circle? thank you.

so basically a wave particle duality principle state that sometimes a "matter" would behave as a particle and a wave a another time. The was to reconcile this is through QM's statistical interpretation and the math construct is very obvious that such proposed matter is indeed a wave-particle in...

I am sorry with the bad title and I am physics major with very weak math. So I come to the forum to rescue me. Basically I have one question, what does a "point-like creature" on a one dimensional line "sees" on different geodesics? if the line is flat, then the creature can sees everything on...

I see, double slit experiment for one particle at a time shows interference for a probability wavelet. I understand this experiment quiet well but still I wish for something simpler. One last question, I am always wondering, what if I do a double slit interference in a cloud chamber, will we...

Thank you to SW VandeCarr, Demistifier and Adrian59, really appreciate that. So a particle is basically a solution to a Schrödinger equation, which is a wave or a wave function. It simply for some strange experimental reasons that what we observe is actually a blimp on a screen which looks more...

1. I think I understand this one quiet well by now 2. when I said gravity wave, I wasn't talking about graviton, sorry for not clearing this up, I was talking about gravitational radiation such as caused by distant binary star systems. 3. I think this is clear to me by now that he answer is...

I slowly began to understand that physics take hard work the hard way, and its hard. thanks for the reply everyone 1. "fine structure constant" never heard of that, yet. And when I said different value of permittivity and permeability, I was thinking about glass and water but I have a hunch...

I do consider that and my knowledge will eventually evolve be at that state. But for now I am not and I hope through this forum I could achieve firm basic understanding of the foundational principle of quantum mechanic, such as superposition, with my current technical and mathematical skill...

I know the answer is many, some of them I already understand very well, time dilation etc, some other I might be able to grasp the idea (like light cone) and I will not be able to understand some others (i can't name it because i don't know what i don't know) I am a 2nd year physics major...

if this happen to be an isolated system? just the atom and nothing else? will it be random?' actually if there is a magnetic field, the atom would precess am i right?
