haushofer replied to the thread Undergrad Ramsauer and Townsend effect: history and explanation.I found this historical overview, https://www.jstor.org/stable/27757746 -never mind the request, I can read it online -
haushofer posted the thread Undergrad Ramsauer and Townsend effect: history and explanation in Quantum Physics.Dear all, I'm writing an article about the didactics of teaching quantum physics, and in particular the phenomenon of resonant...

haushofer replied to the thread High School Gravitons/Gravity passing through objects.It turns out that in certain limits the gravitational field acts similarly to an electromagnetic field and has a "magnetic component"...

haushofer replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.I don't think so, but I have to think about this a bit more. My gut reaction would be that this is similar to the question whether...

haushofer reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force? with
Like.
@Dale and @PeterDonis I'm still somewhat confused, so I will ask a slightly more general question. Consider a Newton-like theory of... -
haushofer replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.I don't see that clear distinction between "interactions" and "spacetime curvature"; Fierz-Pauli is an interactive description of GR...
-
haushofer replied to the thread Undergrad Why is gravity a fictitious force?.My 2 cents: a fictitious force is due to your (accelerating) frame of reference; there is no interaction involved (if you don't...

Hi all, I've been in the world of physics for about 4 years. I teach physics only and want to continue doing so. Teaching high school...

haushofer reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
I don't know whether Coleman's position contains something original, but there is something else that I find problematic. Coleman first...

haushofer replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.It's comparable to the time where the geocentric and heliocentric models both successfully explained planetary orbits. It was only in...

haushofer replied to the thread Advice on visiting CERN?.My advice: don't mention the war or supersymmetry.

haushofer reacted to Ibix's post in the thread High School Infinite universe, infinite volume from the beginning? with Like.
Not misleading, just wrong. You are correct that if the universe is closed and finite then it always was; if it is flat or open and...

haushofer replied to the thread Undergrad ##r-##independent angular momentum in quantum mechanics.Intuitively: if r and v point in the same or opposite direction, L is zero. So only movement in the direction perpendicular to r...

haushofer reacted to DrClaude's post in the thread Undergrad Finite potential well transmission coefficient with Like.
No, it applies to scattering states. I think this is pretty clear in the text you posted. When E>0, you will always get transmission...

I ended up here looking for an answer to a question and am extremely grateful for the prompt and informative answer. I'm neither...
