bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics with
Like.
In axiomatic approaches to Quantum Field Theory, which I think any attempt to understand quantum theory will eventually have to engage... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad About wavefunction collapse and explaining single outcomes in different interpretations with Like.
There is no such thing. In "standard quantum mechanics", time evolution is only predicted by the Schrodinger equation in between...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad About wavefunction collapse and explaining single outcomes in different interpretations with Like.
No, this is not correct. An interpretation that claims single outcomes (which at least some versions of "Copenhagen" do--that term is...

According to an interpretation like the MWI, yes. But there are other interpretations that would not agree. Same comment here.

M Math is cool but it dont " matter" lol

Such is Mathematics.

bhobba replied to the thread High School This One Moved Me.I think, at rock bottom, math is motivated by an abstraction of physical reality. Why that abstraction was chosen, and even why to...

I would say (imo) no. But, geometry is definitely an approximation or idealization of what we see in nature. Developing the logical...

@anuttarasammyak We are going to need to look over your two partial derivative expressions carefully, because your solution is...

@anuttarasammyak That's one part of what I did to solve it. Those two partial derivative expressions are really too clumsy to solve...

bhobba reacted to anuttarasammyak's post in the thread Undergrad Finding the minimum distance between two curves with Like.
Square of the distance is $$L^2=(y_1-y_2)^2+(x_1-x_2)^2=(4-x_1^2-(x_2-3)^2)^2+(x_1-x_2)^2$$ The condition of minimum is $$\frac{\partial...

bhobba reacted to DavidL070949's post in the thread Help with problem in MIT open course general relativity with Love.
All of this is very helpful indeed! I'm going to try to work through the details on my own, so that I make sure I really understand and...

Apologies for the delay, but I'm still getting used to LaTex. Anyway, in answer to how I got to the expression(s) that left me stuck...
