Undergrad Move Stress-Energy tensor to the left side of EFE?
Is it possible to move Stress-Energy tensor to the left side of EFE? R=T => R-T=0. Relativists move cosmological constant Λ to the right side of EFE. Can we move SE tensor to make a vacuum?- Fractal matter

High School Origins of the no-cloning theorem
No cloning theorem might mean, that one can't neither remove nor add holes(to preserve topology). Quote: "No-cloning theorem is dual on the gravity side to the no-go theorem for topology change":peace:- Fractal matter

Undergrad All possible QFTs from geometry?
Yes, that would be lattice qft. Every qft can be approximated by lattice qft AFAIK.- Fractal matter

Undergrad SR vs GR: Logical Necessity of Signal Propagation
A also wonder, what does locality really mean? I think this is what unparadoxical presume: SR local, GR not.- Fractal matter

Undergrad SR vs GR: Logical Necessity of Signal Propagation
ADM formulation is a reformulation of GR. In its decomposition of spacetime, spacelike surfaces parametrized by time are "nonlocal". They are simultaneous. If this is what you're looking for.- Fractal matter

Undergrad SR vs GR: Logical Necessity of Signal Propagation
Wrong. GR absolutely require "propagating signals". It is a local theory. However, i myself, not quite sure what locality means. It somehow takes time for a cause to make an effect.- Fractal matter

Graduate Two degrees of freedom in GR after boundary conditions specified?
I read there are 2 degrees of freedom in GR after boundary conditions specified. Does that mean 2 equations are enough for EFE equivalent? Those two seem like the amplitude and a phase.- Fractal matter

High School Can we all agree "consciousness" is not required to collapse wave function?
Consciousness is not needed in collapse. What happens after collapse is the acquisition of new information. That's my view.- Fractal matter

Undergrad At which point is gravity inconsistent with quantum mechanics?
Gravity is invalid at high energies. It is a low energy effective field theory, like, say, hydrodynamics. As an effective theory it has an approximate Lagrangian. Read more here (from the author of the classic paper on QG)...- Fractal matter

Graduate What does Rovelli mean with "oriented and ordered graph"?
I think, ordering means specifying the predecessor and successor to each node of the graph.- Fractal matter

Undergrad Could the Lorentz symmetry be theoretically broken in vacuum?
I hope, i can be of some help. As far as i am aware, condensate, posessing Lorentz invariance in the ground state, can be thought of as a pseudovacuum. In that case the anwers would be : 1) Yes. 2) Yes. I don't know if the violation of the energy conservation can take place. 3) "It is proposed...- Fractal matter

Graduate Volovik vs Witten vs Wen, etc.
I am very much interested in the subject. My view is very well described in the article by Giulio Prisco - "Down in the fractal depths of quantum matter and space-time". The world, it seems, can be described as infinite series of approximations/effective fields. I'm convinced, physicists are...- Fractal matter

Graduate Can Gödel's Theorem Inform Our Understanding of Physical Reality?
"The incompleteness theorems apply only to formal systems which are able to prove a sufficient collection of facts about the natural numbers." "For any such consistent formal system, there will always be statements about natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system."...- Fractal matter
