I think he got massive vector bosons confused with Quarks, or something to that effect. Although, theoretically, if string theory is correct then wouldn't all matter act the same if you got hot enough? becouse it would all just be "String" right?

the whole concept, I just don't get it. really its the unification I don't really understand. does flavor turn into charge? or is it some strange wave thing. does that mean that light takes on weak properties at high energy levels? or is there a new kind of light (like an electroweak wave?) and...

I completely agree with fredrik on this one, the math doesn't purport any possibe rest frame for a particle of 0 mass. and sorry about the limit, I was of course taking a limiot but I;m not used to telling everyone when the math comes out with infinity. I always forget limits in this sort of...

if the energy levels were high enough the electromagnetic and weak forces would unify, so it wouldn't be surprising if, in those conditions, and photon could conceivably be affected by the... well not really weak force, rather the elctroweak force

here I thought I was going to see someones plans for a flux capacitor, darn! well this just simply a consequence of relativity, a phenomenon, only God knows what time is and why velocity affects it.

We don't try to imagine how a photon experienves the universe because it doesn't experience the universe. because of the time dilation effect at velocity c from the reference frame moving at c, no matter how long any other refrence frame experiences the event of motion at c, the frame moving at...

Whether or not these photon paths predict FTL velocities is, as I see it, irrelevant, considering that the upper bound of velocity is c, we can affirm with some certain that light will never travel faster than itself. I suspect that this apparent increase in velocity is merely a mathematical...

I'm inclined to believe that photons, being the electromagnetic force carriers, aren't affected by any other forces. but then, this is not really my field. haha, excuse the pun.

Now I get it, yeah. don't worry about the math, math is my first love, I would love to learn topology and linear algebra, differential geometry, groups, rings. I enjoy just about every kind of math accept, possibly, statistics. I suppose if there was another field if gravitons skimmed it they...

well, I didn't really know much of anything about the complexity of the problem. No I haven't consulted any textbooks, I barely understand relativity and quantum field theory, I would really enjoy learning this sort of thing. perhaps there could be some sort of mechanism that accounts for spin-2?

weren't they able to solve a similar problem with W and Z bosons having mass? by inventing the higgs field concept, so perhaps there is a solution in a similar way in this case?

I think its straightforward enough just map the sphere(x2+y2+z2=r2) map it into the xy-plane(x2+y2=r2)solve in terms of y(sqrt(r2-x2)) now applied disk method of integrating solids of revolution to obtain: π[SIZE="5"]∫-rh-r(sqrt(r2-x2))2dx see simple

I watched a seminar in particle physics and they mentioned that it was difficult to reconcile general relativity and Quantum field theory, I was just curious as to why it was so difficult considering quantum field theory is already reconciled with special relativity and gauge symmetry. what...

I may possibly be even more confused. the question I meant to ask was not how a particle moves but how do I take scalar values like energy and momentum and construct the matrix that defines the energy-momentum tensor, or is that something that only supercomputers, Einstein and Swartzchilde can do?

I thought gravitational waves only occur around major events like two black holes colliding or super novae?
