@Demystifier, @PeterDonis I've been following this discussion with interest. Demystifier's breakdown of the second-quantization framework was helpful - specifically the point that ⟨Ψ| Ê⁺(x) |Ψ⟩ = 0 can occur while ⟨Ψ| Ê⁻(x)Ê⁺(x) |Ψ⟩ ≠ 0. While looking at these expressions, I noticed something...

@PeroK Thank you for the clarification. That's exactly why I'm asking rather than simply posting - I want to be respectful of how things work here and find an allowed way to ask questions rather than present anything as fact. I'm genuinely looking for honest feedback and would welcome people...

Permission to Discuss Hypotheses for Contest Feedback? @Demystifier @PeroK @bhobba @renormalize Hello Mentors and Insight Authors, I'd like to put forward some hypotheses for discussion and feedback, and I want to ask first whether this would be appropriate for this forum. I'm preparing an...

Great question - and I genuinely wish I could contribute. I'd love to discuss it here on Physics Forums because honestly, this is where these conversations should happen. I understand not allowing it in the homework section, but there should be nothing wrong with discussing theoretical physics...

Thank you for speaking up for me. I really appreciate it. I just want to ask questions and learn — glad someone saw that.

This was incredibly helpful — thank you. The quadrature relationship you described (E and B 90° out of phase, nodes displaced by 1/4 wavelength) helped me solve something I'd been stuck on. I've been exploring energy drainage in bound systems — how energy at high harmonics flows down to...

That's helpful — so in a standing wave, E and B are in quadrature (90° phase offset) and the energy oscillates between electric and magnetic storage, but the total remains constant. Does this extend to three-phase systems? With three waves at 120° separation: Amplitudes sum to zero (like...

Thanks — that makes sense for two waves. But here's what prompted my question: In three-phase electrical systems, the phases are definitely not independent (same source, fixed 120° relationship). Yet we sum the powers, not the amplitudes. So is the distinction not "independent vs coherent"...

"You're right, I shouldn't have said 'remember.' What I meant is that during superposition, each component wave retains its energy and momentum — the net zero amplitude doesn't mean zero energy. Is that consistent with Poynting's theorem?"

This question connects to something I've been working through. Two waves at 180° — complete cancellation, energy seems to vanish. That's the puzzle you're describing. But consider three waves at 120° separation: Amplitudes still sum to zero:A₁ + A₂ + A₃ = 0 But energy is proportional to...

thank you,

I'm working through something and want to make sure I understand the physics. In a system with three wave components at 120° phase separation, the total energy calculation depends on how we treat them: If coherent (add amplitudes first, then square): E = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃)² = 0 If independent...

Hi everyone, I'm Christian Fuccillo, independent researcher working through Magnetic Innovative Solutions. My background is in electrical engineering and applied physics. I've been exploring wave mechanics and its connections to particle physics — specifically looking at three-phase stability...
