Wow.... I think this took me a couple of reads (okay... the ring bit... much more than a couple) over to figure out what was going on... -
Things become more difficult for the ##p=3## case. The basic idea is to translate the additive problem $$ a^p+b^p=c^p $$ into a...

But the example does illustrate how close you can get and still its not close enough to disprove the theorem. A recollection by G.H...

What was Fermat's level of mathematical knowledge time? Was it comparable to what Andrew Wiles knew? I’ve read that Fermat would write...

Like.
Naively, instantaneous action at a distance ensures conservation. Newton's theory of gravity being a prime example. In particular... -
Another thing is to not fill the SSD beyond 85 to 90% capacity. Here's a video from Kingston on SSDs: Here's a Sandisk article on...

Hi All SSDs have become incredibly fast and are now really affordable. My dirt-cheap (I have seen it as low as $78.00 here in Aus...

bhobba reacted to PeroK's post in the thread I Shape of wave function (probability distribution) of a single photon with Like.
There's no cop out, as you describe it. The Schrodinger equation is manifestly not covariant. Hence QM is a non-relativistic theory...

bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Emission probability in blackbody spectrum derivation with Like.
No, ##p## is not probability density. It's just the probability that emission happened.

PS note that an infinite speed is meaningless in terms of a signal. So that's just another way to say "nonlocal".

Bohmians do not have problems with probabilities, or with the view that nature is fundamentally non-deterministic. They have problems...

That's slightly disengenuous, given that Newton himself despaired over his own theory of gravity for those reasons. And, given that a...

That's correct. The problem with postulating a causal process is that a measurement of spin is usually done indirectly. The...

Mop perhaps? Congrats!
