Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.So in 1905 Einstein didn't come up with a new theory called special relativity? Just a new interpretation of the already-existing... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.I suppose I'm not familiar enough with the Block Universe and the terminology. I don't think of future events as fixed, but some people... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.Rather than need I think it's an issue of desire. When we first encounter quantum theory we want to know the meaning of the main... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.There is no math in the interpretation! All the math is in the theory. An interpretation is just the way you think about the math when... -

Like.
I think you mean 83 ps. The speed of light is about 30 cm/ns, so 2.5 cm must be less than a ns. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.Oops. I had to go back and edit that post about 3 times because I kept making mistakes. Too early in the morning maybe? Oh well, what's... -

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?.It really is an issue of convention. In my experience when the terminology is introduced it's either in the context of the 1st Law or in... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Undergrad First law of this universe.I don't think statements like this even make sense. Naturally-occuring things can be described, for example, as particles or waves. They... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?.A google search reveals a different exercise. Given two otherwise identical baseballs, the one with the greater internal energy will... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?.You would have to give us Feynman's exact wording of the question. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Undergrad Understanding the Coriolis force.I think you are misinterpreting the minus sign. The minus sign in an expression like ##-\vec{a}## doesn't mean that the value is...
