Dale replied to the thread Graduate Probability puzzle.Ah, I missed the tie -> rematch condition. That makes the optimum a little difficult. I would guess that the left player would want to... -
The difference comes when Righty can fire at the same time as Lefty. If if they both fire at exactly .618 it boosts Righty's chance of...

Dale replied to the thread Graduate Probability puzzle.It does favor the right player, but it is still optimal for the left player also. In other words, the game is rigged. The optimal...

Dale replied to the thread Graduate Probability puzzle.We are given that both players play optimally. We were not given it, but I also assumed that both players know the other player is also...

Dale replied to the thread Graduate Probability puzzle.I see the same. At any distance greater than D = 0.618 m each player's best strategy is to wait, regardless of the other player's...

Two players start 1 meter away from a target. They simultaneously begin moving towards the target at a same constant speed. If the left...

Dale reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Why did the photon lose its license? with Like.
Neither of these are correct. What is correct is that "proper time" and "proper distance" are undefined for light. Lightlike objects in...

Dale reacted to brotherbobby's post in the thread Undergrad Textbook description of R##\ddot{\text o}##mer's light speed calculation with Like.
Statement of the problem : I copy and paste the clip from the text, underling in red the sentences where, in my opinion, the author(s)...

Dale replied to the thread Any advice for learning how to spot legitimate physics from kooks?.Frankly, don’t waste time trying to spot legitimate physics by kooks. Spend your time learning legitimate physics from reputable...

Dale replied to the thread Undergrad Could the (SR) forbidden photon's own referential mean something?.Proper time is not 0 for a photon, it is undefined. Sticking with science and not philosophy, QFT is the QM theory that is compatible...

Dale reacted to sophiecentaur's post in the thread Undergrad The effect of a radio wave on an electron with Like.
It implies that the momentum change of the electron will be in a direction appropriate to the E field of the wave. So the scattering of...
