    Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025

    OP seems to assume it will be awarded for work related to Physics. Recent practice shows that isn't a safe assumption o0)

    What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?

    Suggestions about what? Are you asking should you stop working on whatever it is you're working on?

    How do people explore new ideas in physics?

    I'm not really convinced that what is being called the traditional method isn't starting from a different set of PDEs. In other words, I think the numerics are getting confused with the equation selection and manipulation. [EDIT] To try and make my point clearer. Say I come up with two...

    How do people explore new ideas in physics?

    I think OP could have a more productive discussion by posting in the relativity subforum using the homework template. It really sounds like OP has manipulated some GR equations for a Schwarzschild black hole and then solved them numerically. The claim doesn't seem to be that the algorithm for...

    Lectures on integral invariants and Hamiltonian equations

    I would say many (most?) people could go through graduate physics studies and not see classical mechanics formulated in the language of differential forms (as used in these notes). But you would still get a taste for the same ideas in an upper-division undergraduate course and graduate course...

    My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?

    Even after reading everything you wrote, I have no idea if you like math. I make that observation to point out that you need to think about your priorities. If you like and want to learn more math, then you need to be challenged. None of your results appear catastrophically bad, so you haven't...

    A Pauli–Villars ghost fields?

    Indeed, so many stories in QFT to help us cope with the lack of rigor that we truly desire, ha! :cry:

    A Pauli–Villars ghost fields?

    It has been awhile since I studied ghosts in a QFT class. My recollection is that ghosts, e.g., Faddeev-Popov ghosts, are normally used in the context of non-abelian gauge theories to account for equivalence of different field configurations related by gauge transformations in the path-integral...

    Osaka Expo 2025

    Japan has an interesting relationship with technology. I see so many videos of cool machines and gadgets, but at the same time I understand it to be one of the more cash-based countries among the developed world. But it sounds like that may be changing. My impression living in the U.S. is that...

    YAAP (Yet Another Armchair Physicist)

    Me thinks it is: you should get out of the armchair more often.

    I Matrix element involving raising/lowering operators

    This calculation is fraught from the start. As written, the matrix element is zero. If the answer is supposed to be non-zero, then the matrix element as written is wrong. By a sequence of questionable mathematical steps you get an answer that is not zero. The issues would probably resolve...

    I Density matrix representation of a density operator

    Certainly once you write down the matrix components of an operator you have chosen a basis. Not sure if you had a specific question in mind.

    My physics exam preparations feel like rote actions, I'm not understanding

    I think having negative existential thoughts at 2am is usually a good indication that you should get some sleep!

    I Fresnel Zone Equation Problem

    Isn't that what you wanted to show? Part of the problem here that makes this confusing is the substitution of numerical values for some constants while leaving variables in the equation. That's not your fault, it must just be the practice in this area of technology.
