Thanks for the responses!
I've read Elegant Universe but it seems to only touch the surface, for a deeper understanding I guess I have to start getting into the math of it. :)
Can anyone recommend any other books that delve into this subject?
I was thinking about the analogy of an observer living in a two dimensional world. So as it goes, this observer would see a 3d sphere as a 2d circle. As the 3d sphere moves through the dimension the observer cannot see, the circle would seem to appear on his plane from nowhere, grow to the...
Can electrons, or other real particles for that matter, interact with virtual particles?
Do virtual particles ever come into existence in between the electron's energy levels of an atom? Is there actually a vacuum between electron energy levels of an atom or is this an abstract...
EM are what interests me. I've been trying to grasp things at that level and even further with things like the double slit experiment, especially how a single electron wave interfers with itself. Or maybe even deeper with how fundamental particles interact and move at a quantum level.
Sorry to dig this thread back up but I have been thinking about this same issue a lot. I wanted to question something further.
The pulse example he gave was something I thought about in particular myself. What confused me is once the waves cancel each other out, what attributes of the...
Can fluid dynamics be applied to a particle moving through a Higgs field?
Like is there a wake, or even a slipstream in which a trailing particle might be affected less by the Higgs field or not at all?
Does a elemental particle move through all points along a vector or does it move in "ticks" of a finite quanta?
Or in terms of waves and probability, if we measure the location of a particle at a certian time, will the particle be evenly distributed along all possible points of its vector...
