Graduate Does Natural Hydrogen Exist in a Stable Ground State?
Center of mass for two particle's equal and opposite 4 momenta or for the separation of a system's internal motion from its external motion. The not allowed hydrogen atom.- cornfall

Graduate Does Natural Hydrogen Exist in a Stable Ground State?
Does hydrogen in its ground state occur naturally, ideally, experimentally? Is it stable? Is this like asking, "Does a center of mass occur naturally, ideally, experimentally? Is it stable?"- cornfall

Graduate Why Is the Geometric Product in Geometric Algebra Assumed to Be Associative?
Judge Judgement I understand the comparison with Artin, but I'm not able to judge your judgement. Anyway, who is the most famous; Hamilton or Hestenes? Fame is fickle so let's get some criteria down to inform judgement, all the while expecting these to run like sand between our fingers.- cornfall

Graduate Why Is the Geometric Product in Geometric Algebra Assumed to Be Associative?
viewing is seeing Your view is more precise than mine, I'm more coarse. Working on a ferris wheel in the rain puts me real \textit{e} off. An old carny needs some help with this question. A convex polygon in a plane is specified by the ordered set of points \{x_{0},x_{1},\,.\,.\,.\,,x_{n}\}...- cornfall

Graduate Why Is the Geometric Product in Geometric Algebra Assumed to Be Associative?
It also suggests to me a feeling, a way to invent or learn. I first approached this associative "geometric product" reading, http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/%7Eclifford/publications/abstracts/imag_numbs.html". Following this paper; "to see what is going on" and to make it feel satisfying and natural...- cornfall
