Like.
More precisely, by the Riemann curvature tensor that's derived from a metric via its Levi-Civita connection. There's no problem with... -
bhobba posted the thread Graduate What Exactly Is The Physical Content Of Maxwell's Equations? in Special and General Relativity.It doesn't contain anything new, and nothing I haven't seen before, but as people who have been around a while know, I have a bit of a... -
bhobba replied to the thread Graduate Quantum measurement problem (ie double slit experiment) question.Sorry. Yes, that is the paper. Thanks for picking it up. Thanks Bill -

I guess you meant (copy&paste mistake): https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.06605 -
bhobba replied to the thread Graduate Quantum measurement problem (ie double slit experiment) question.Like many things in QM, the situation is actually more nuanced than even standard QM textbooks sometimes suggest. The so-called... -

Then you can't get single outcomes. Yes, but using a "reduced state" at all already assumes that you have a single outcome--without... -

Short answer: no. The things you are vaguely describing all involve a change to the dynamics, making it no longer unitary. Indeed... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Love.
And it seems as though your only reason for starting this thread in the first place was to try to get to a point where you could present... -

We have all been trying to tell you how you can learn more, but you are rejecting everything we try to teach you. 🤔 -

Agree.
It's incredible how often this happens, ending up discussing language instead of physics. -
bhobba reacted to Amazed's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Skeptical.
If there is still no one single definition of 'particle' in physics, then what is 'it' that people who do physics look at, discuss, and... -
bhobba reacted to Amazed's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Skeptical.
Why is there not a concept about 'All existing matter, space, energy considered as a whole', which plays any role in your actual... -

In everyday life the items you encounter (chairs, you, your phone, etc) are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons held together by... -

There isn't one. That isn't a concept that plays any role in our actual physical theories. There is? What kind of disagreement... -
