Graduate Understanding Fields in Quantum Mechanics: Electrons, Waves, & Particles
What is a field in quantum mechanics (not the classical version)? And when it is said that an electron is an "excitation state of a field", does that mean that electrons are created by wave or disturbances in a field? Also, is there a different type of field for each fundamental particle, or...- gk007

Graduate What happens when you try to join QM and GR?
What are the actual problems of joining these two theories? (I've heard various people say that the equations 'fail' or 'blow-up', but I want to know exactly what happens...)- gk007

Has anyone ever programmed a computer system to evolve theories?
You would have to create a neural network with as many neurons as a human brain, which is several billion, and each of those neurons would have thousands of connections, but I suppose that is just an engineering problem...- gk007

Is Time Slowing Down? Scientists Weigh In
Even if the speed of light slowed down "c" would still be 186,000miles/second, its just that we would have to separate the universal speed limit from the speed of light.- gk007

Lingusitics How many foreign languages do you speak/read?
My native language is English English, but I can also speak German and Telugu (an Indian language) as well as some French and Spanish. O, and you also need to know the difference between a pelican crossing and a puffin crossing.- gk007

Graduate Is this why relativity and quantum physics don't mix?
I think it has something to do with "renormalization" which is used in Quantum Mechanics to make answers reasonable (basically), but when you try to "renormalize" a gravity meadiator (such as a Graviton) the equations fail. Also in places at the quantum scale, but with huge gravity (like in a...- gk007

Has anyone ever programmed a computer system to evolve theories?
To create new theories computer would have to think imaginatly, which goes against pretty much everything of what a computer is. A computer follows a fixed alogrithm, and although it can modify this alogrithm, a computer could never spit out something like string theory, because that requires...- gk007

Undergrad Can Light Be Trapped Between Mirrors and Is There Energy Loss?
Between normal mirrors that we can produce with todays technology, there will always be losses, you can see this when you hold two mirrors opposite each other, in theory the reflections should go on for ever, but in practice they curve away due to imperfections in the mirror. However, I don't... -

Graduate Is a matter-antimatter annihilation just a particle turning around in time?
I found where I read it (Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku). It says that there is an "Advanced Wave" solution to Maxwell's equation of light, which corresponds to a beam of light coming from the future and going to the past. Apparently it was Feynman who discovered that this meant...- gk007
