Ok I guess option one can be crossed off my list. Nice! Anyway, I guess I will just have to have to work towards the true explanation. Before I go though, is there a single paper that describes how the solution was arrived at? I won't be able to understand it now, but like I said I will just...

ok, ok, ok. First, let me apologize. I did not mean to protest. I regret being so dismissive of math, and you're right. I need to put more effort into learning math. Also, anyone who can get their PhD in physics is way smarter than me and is doing very important work, and I am great full that...

Forgive me, but couldn't the responses here apply to any other thread on this forum? If someone ask a question about the twin paradox, can't someone just say "You need special schooling to understand this." and leave it at that? That's the truth, after all. I guess I'm confused because I'm only...

I assumed that was true of all science. I don't pretend to know Newtonian physics just because I can throw a ball. Even so, verbal explanations for this and other phenomena are possible, even if they can never be as complete as a mathematical explanation. Does this mean there is something...

First, I did read this article on Byrons: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/a-beginners-guide-to-baryons/. If the answer to my question is in there, I'm sorry, but I missed it somehow. Honestly, much of that article went over my head. Other than that, it's as the TLDR says. I have heard...

When I was taught about temperature in high school, I was told that substances that are hot have molecules that move fast, while substances that are cold have molecules that move slowly. I was also told that everything moves towards greater disorder or entropy. This is apparently because there...

Statistical mechanics might as well be Klingon as far as I can read it, so interpreting an academic physics paper can be tricky. Still, this paper here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.12065 struck me as intriguing. I'm pretty sure this paper is about the innards of protons and neutrons, which I find...

To my understanding quarks must always be united with at least one other quark in sharp contrast to a brick, at the macro scale, which can be alone, and therefore if you try to separate two quarks with enough energy a quark/antiquark pair will be formed so no quark is alone. I also understand...

As requested, It comes up 10 minutes and 26 seconds in. By the way if the spacetime curvature of a blackhole can disrupt the strong nuclear force without providing energy for more quarks/antiquarks does that mean color confiment is violated?

This question was not my idea. I heard it while watching a YouTube video hosted by a celebrity astrophysicist and a comedian. This astrophysicist answers the physics questions of his Patreon supporters, and one of the supporters asked him about the spaghettification of quarks. I'm paraphrasing...

I take "not very enlightening" to mean not much time dilation occurs to any of the particles.

I tried to solve this problem independently, but given how confused I am about the twin paradox and the concept of relativity of simultaneity, I have no confidence in my solution. Suppose a collection of particles has been moving very close to the velocity of light relative to the Cosmic...

Hello, everyone. Thank you for allowing me to post on your forum. I am not good enough at math to become a physicist, but I love physics and found this forum through my Google searches. Hopefully, I can learn enough here just to call myself Smith
