Critique of the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.02621 I would need some time to find out whether the article is wrong or the critique... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Why is 0 K unattainable?.If the Hamiltonian has a continuous spectrum, then, in the canonical ensemble with non-zero temperature, any given energy has non-zero... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Why is 0 K unattainable?.You are right that any state with definite energy has zero probability in that sense. But there is nothing wrong with that conclusion... -

Demystifier reacted to Josiah's post in the thread Graduate Relationship between superconductors and gravity with
Skeptical.
Hi What is the relationship between superconductors and gravity? Eugene podkletnov came up with some interesting findings. The first... -
Demystifier reacted to anuttarasammyak's post in the thread Graduate Is the variation of the metric ##\delta g_{\mu\nu}## a tensor? with
Agree.
Thank you @Demystifier 1. I observe that a. ## \bar{g}_{\mu\nu}-g_{\mu\nu}## transforms as a covariant tensor under coordinate... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Six Textbook Mistakes in Quantum Field Theory.I joined this forum soon after writing this paper, so this is how I have chosen my name. :smile: -

Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Is the variation of the metric ##\delta g_{\mu\nu}## a tensor?.Under a coordinate transformation ##x^{\mu}\to x'^{\mu}=f^{\mu}(x)##, the two metrics transform as $$g'^{\alpha\beta}=\frac{\partial... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Is the variation of the metric ##\delta g_{\mu\nu}## a tensor?.How did you verify this? They do transform as tensors under coordinate transformations, but their indices are not raised and lowered in... -
Demystifier reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Hawking radiation may smooth black hole singularities with
Informative.
No, because there's no white hole horizon, any more than there's a black hole horizon. It's just outgoing radiation. The portion of the...
