Demystifier reacted to SiennaTheGr8's post in the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed? with
Like.
Here is a demonstration: -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad Why is the Lorentz Force always perpendicular to velocity?.Not really the answer to the OP's question, but an interesting observation. Assuming that the mass squared $$m^2=p^{\mu}p_{\mu}$$ does... -
Demystifier replied to the thread High School Rotating disc: tidal relativity across surface of disc.Always. An extended object should always be interpreted as a collection of separate objects, even if there is no relative motion between... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Feynman's bug (hot plate) in generality.Yes, but I think the right question is this: Can general relativity (GR) "change" topology? Or more precisely, is GR a theory of the... -
Demystifier reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with
Like.
He says "associated with". Why not just "is"? Because actually, no, the position he describes is not Everett's relative state... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.If he doesn't like the Everett type interpretation, then why (at the bottom of page 7) does he say "The position I am going to advocate... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Maybe he does not explain it very well, but since now I'm in the charitable mood, I tend to interpret it as an implicit assumption of an... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.For a change, let me now try to analyze the Coleman's argument by using the charity principle... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.I argued that Coleman assumed interpretation B, according to which the observer does not distinguish different straight trajectories. It... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.On the contrary, it's crucial to it, for the reasons I and others explained several times. -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Because if you can prove it, you have solved the problem of measurement in QM and deserved the Nobel prize. :partytime: -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Do you think that there is a specific trajectory? -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.You already asked me and I already answered. See #108. -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.And my claim is that it depends on what one means by "seeing a definite trajectory". It is correct in interpretation B (in which... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Yes, my post #106 is also written in that spirit, so we basically agree on that.
