Hello Everyone, This time I want to share with you my experience with the book the Interpretation of Quantum mechanics by Erwin Schrodinger. Just let me point out some of his most remarkable points in my humble opinion. In his first chapter, JULY 1952 COLLOQUIUM, he wrote: Let me say at...

Sciam-subscription Thank you for the link and discount. Great job! I'll receive mine too in 4 or 6 weeks. Edgar

Sorry a wire, through which no current is traveling, or a wire where there is no electrons? An electrons' dipole moments? what is it? I know the electron has an intrinsic magnetic moment, or an inherent polarity that gives reason of that intrinsic magnetic moment, and intrinsic means it...

Thank you, Parlyne for being more explicit! Sorry, my friend, but I really, do not understand this, from the physical point of view, unless you are thinking in a though experiment. I've never seen a current vanished in the real life by such a relative movement, this is just an idealization...

Hello my dear friend ZZ, You wrote: In this case, I suppose you are referring to Ampere's law, that says that around a current of electrons, there is a magnetic field around. This is what you understand by solving Maxwell equation, right? If I interpret things like this I don't find any...

Yes, the point is that, that concept of an inertial ref. frame is such an idealization, that it does not work at all, in that real life of rotating systems... then why we insist in them? Just wondering, wondering and wondering My best regards EP

Hello VE, Being you a layperson, you have put it quite simple and quite right, but I don't think you'll receive any answer, as an answer, regarding the non-vanishing of a magnetic field by a relative movement, would mean to admit that the principle of relativity is not valid when applied to...

Yes, I think I'm losing my time, and I'm sorry but I've now more important things to do than to involve myself is sort of metaphysical, philosophical matter. How can you divorce, as a physicist, electron's spin and magnetic moment from its real source an inherent magnetic field? Yes, I know...

Relativity & Absolutism? Oh dear, dear, dear, I "see" you so entangled with the linear-philosophical-mathematical abstraction of SR that it is almost impossible to have the possibility to consider another point of view? With the magnetic field we have a relation to velocity that is not...

Hello ZZ, Before you close this thread, please it is a real fallacy to bring again that argument with relative velocities, that of course, they can be zero in its own frame, but you cannot do this with the magnetic field, or more properly speaking with the intrinsic magnetic moment of the...

Well, Maxwell's equations are not precisely used to invalidate workable theories, on the contrary, in our case it is the theoretical part of SR, not its workable part, the one that can be questioned, in that moment Einstein framed the Lorentz transformation group, under the principle of...

Relativity VS Absolutism Dear RandallB, My apologies for not have replied your previous post! Well, here we are talking about the same thing, that put it in simple words, it means that Maxwell's equation are invariant; they are not relative. I really think that Einstein made a big...

Dear ZZ, In the aim to avoid ambiguity I prefer to be repetitive, so there we go. You wrote: A charge at rest? What kind of charge is that?... of course it is not an electron... can you cancel their intrinsic moment by a relative movement? Of course, you can't even in the best particle...

Hello ZZ, All my life, as electrical engineer, I worked for more than 30 years, not properly speaking with fields, but with energy, electromagnetic energy, based on Maxwell's equations, and I never saw such a thing as a magnetic field canceled by a relative movement, my point. We can cancel...

Hello ZZ, Yes, it is what is called a critical experiment, just one and that theory will fall. No, please, not thought experiments, but real experiments, we know how all QM depends of the behavior of the electron and its intrinsic magnetic field... to say transform to a frame having the...
