Dale replied to the thread Graduate Infinite scaling limit of an elliptic charged surface.The one that best approximates your boundary conditions. If you are modeling the field close to the surface of a capacitor plate, then... -
Dale replied to the thread Graduate Can a causal or time-like structure emerge without assuming a metric?.Yes. My guess would be a connection, but I don’t have the math to figure that out. I have usually started with a metric and derived a... -
Dale replied to the thread Graduate Infinite scaling limit of an elliptic charged surface.There is no need to reconcile them. They are both valid solutions to Maxwell’s equations. As I already told you in the other thread. -
Dale reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane with
Like.
How is that symmetry additional? How does it go beyond what an infinite plane of uniform charge density already implies? For finite... -
Dale replied to the thread High School Light & Time.Event has a technical meaning in relativity. It is not one event, but it is one process that does not involve an evolution of the photon... -
Dale replied to the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane.Again, why not? It does have circular symmetry. If you do not consider that justified, then on what grounds are you justified in... -
Dale reacted to javisot's post in the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts? with
Informative.
For example, https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.04664 , Why lenguage models hallucinate Or, https://www.arxiv.org/pdf/2512.21577... -
Dale replied to the thread High School Light & Time.There are two types of time in relativity: proper time and coordinate time. This statement is not true for either. Indeed, emission and... -
Dale replied to the thread High School Time travel without paradox.Please review the rules about personal speculation. This thread is closed. -
Dale replied to the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane.Can you identify any point in an infinite plane where there is a point "up and to the left" but not a symmetrical point "down and to the... -
Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Photons & Time: t=0 What?.No, it is about clocks. You repeatedly refer to velocity. "Time itself" doesn't have velocity, clocks do. In physics we speak of two... -
Dale reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane with
Like.
If you have have linear wires, then the linear charge density must tend to zero, as the number of wires increases. You end up with... -
Dale replied to the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane.Yes. I wouldn’t use wires at all. I would use rings. It simplifies substantially and requires only one limit. As mentioned by others...
