bhobba replied to the thread Intro: 18yo Physics enthusiast.Indeed welcome. Hang around, and you will be surprised by what you learn. Thanks Bill -
bhobba replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.It is surprising how much of what we discuss is, to a large extent, semantics. I know we don't discuss philosophy here, but many of... -

Haha.
Is that like the difference between all dead and mostly dead? -
bhobba replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.As an 18-year-old, QED has been suggested as a good place to start (and I agree). The following video suggests the next books to read... -

Regarding questions 2 and 3, one suggestion is to read Feynman's book on QED:The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. It doesn't cover... -

One is always free to change gauges. One is not free to violate charge conservation. Beyond that, I have no idea what you’re trying to... -

I think you're missing Paul Colby's point. The EM field equations only make sense in the first place if the current ##J^\mu## satisfies... -

The EOM you quote conserve charge, ##\partial_\mu J^\mu =0##. You then violate charge conservation with your assumption, ##K^\mu =... -

Skeptical.
Inside of an atom the electron and proton are tightly packed together making thier magnetic fields more powerful while inside of a... -

Can you cite a credible textbook reference that supports those claims? -

Hossenfelder has blogged about the article, called it mathematically erroneous (actually, she was somewhat blunter :smile: ).
