Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.E.g. by weighing scale. -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.As Einstein said, it is theory which determines what is measurable. According to the Newtonian theory of gravity, the gravitational... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Well, for those who like Albert's style of writing, it's probably good. Personally I'm not a fan of his style, but I believe there is... -
Demystifier reacted to gentzen's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with
Informative.
I finished browsing Albert's "Quantum Mechanics and Experience" book, and studying its last chapter "8. Self-Measurement", where his... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.The Albert's Chapter 8 is very interesting on its own right. It considers a version of the Wigner's friend thought experiment, by which... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.The geodesic equation $$\frac{d^2x^{\mu}}{d\tau^2} + \Gamma^{\mu}_{\alpha\beta} \frac{dx^{\alpha}}{d\tau} \frac{dx^{\beta}}{d\tau} = 0$$... -

Informative.
If you right-click on the equation in my post, you can see the ##\LaTeX##-code used to create it. -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Aether equal to spacetime?.A lot of modern research papers investigates the possibility of aether... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad KE of rotating disc.That's infinite for any ##N##, not only for ##N=3##, due to the infinite last term ##i=N## in the sum. -

I get from Wolfram Alpha 1.93277 Calculation 1 I get with else original values 4.23555 Calculation 2 -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad KE of rotating disc.That is in accordance with the result by OP, who obtained ##KE=E-M=M##, which implies ##E=2M##. This demonstrates that my removal of the... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad KE of rotating disc.Interesting! How much the last term ##i=N## contributes to the full sum? What happens if you take ##v=1## but compute the sum only up to...
