Herman Trivilino replied to the thread How to find eddy current (circular) path in this pendulum experiment?.I don't know what you mean by your second finger because I don't see any fingers in the attachment. There's a reference to RHR-1, which... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I I don't see how a black hole's event horizon can be crossed.It was actually Wolfgang Pauli who is famously credited for saying "that is not even wrong". It's not clear if he said it as a reaction...

Like.
You are referring to Rice in Houston, TX, US, correct? I checked the graduate admissions requirements for their Physics PhD program and... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Schools Hepth programs in Europe.Oh. Sorry. My mistake. It used to be back in the 1980's. I keep forgetting that I'm an old fart. I don't feel like an old man. I feel...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Schools Hepth programs in Europe.What makes you think the M.S. in physics with a 4.0 isn't that helpful? It may not "count" in the sense that you will have to repeat it...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics.Not sure what you mean by "kind of". But that aside you take classes. You have to start with the basics and work your way up to graduate...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I To predict the nature of Normal Reaction in any mechanics set-up.I realize that this is probably tangential, but the so-called normal force is actually the perpendicular component of the contact force...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes.My experience has been that using preview mode destroys LaTeX rendering. It's a known issue.
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?.What are you encountering that leads you to this conclusion? Is it nothing more than a vocabulary issue? In other words they haven't...

Herman Trivilino reacted to javisot's post in the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement? with Like.
I've never heard those terms used in physics. Perhaps "physical reality" was once used as the regime of reality that can be described by...
