    Undergrad Measuring distances: why the Pythagoras formula

    Yes exactly - it is the same. So it is vary strange, because such situation, requires some very precise relation for mater and energy of Universe to follow. It is amazing coincidence to be seen in reality. So it is very strange...

    Undergrad Measuring distances: why the Pythagoras formula

    That is good point! At least locally: YES. So for small distances and not very large mases and energies, our universe is Euclidean. But there is other one point of view we may say the same: at cosmological scales, there is doubt if our universe is expanding ( hyperbolic geometry) or...

    Undergrad Measuring distances: why the Pythagoras formula

    I will not agree. Nature choose some kind of space-time as flat. When there is no matter, no energy, no other disturbances, then there is an Euclidean metric - and obviously that is the choice. Why? I do not know: but I assume that answer would be interesting... In mathematics Euclidean...

    Graduate Which of the four forces is responsible for degeneracy pressure?

    I understand. In 3-dimensional space, there are 2 different families of representation od SO(3) - gerenal group of rotation. One family has spin which is natural number whils second one family has multiplicity of 1/2. This is mathematics, not physics. Question of Your friend may be, rephrased...

    Graduate Which of the four forces is responsible for degeneracy pressure?

    I will wrote for You once more what I wrote last time: You do not have any forces in order to have pressure in system. You push with some force system with fermion particles. You want to lover of volume in such gas for example. But as the whole energetic states are occupied, then after You...

    Undergrad Measuring distances: why the Pythagoras formula

    Ha! This is the Question! If You think about curved spacetime in GR Theory, Then You will see that Euclidean metric is flat. It is not by taking other spaces/metrics relative to Euclidean, but it is somehow real thing: differential of x^2 is linear function with constant coefficients (...

    Graduate Is Principia Mathematica outdated?

    Ok, now I accept. Sorry for disturbing. Of course You may suppose whatever You like about Platonism. But Gödel theorem refer to systems with countable number of axioms. It has also form first level theory which is rather limitation in context of whole Platonism. relation between Platonism and...

    Graduate Is Principia Mathematica outdated?

    I cannot catch the point: why unproved statements has to lead to contradictions? The meaning of Goedel theorem is quite opposite: You may state whatever You like, about Your Unprovable Theorem of Choice, for example that is is true or false and You always find model in which Your Choice will...

    Graduate Constructing Ring over Monoid: Questions & Answers

    So maybe I ask once more, with better defined question: Do You know any database of finite presented structures, like algebras, groups, monoids etc. when I may look for my structure in order to check if someone else use it in other than my situation? There are some databases in the wild: huge...

    Undergrad Measuring distances: why the Pythagoras formula

    There is general theory: theory of metric spaces, where You may assume that metric, that is the mathematical form used for measuring distances is general, function of Your choice. Function may be treated as metric if has following properties: \rho(A,B)>0 \rho(A,B) = 0 \iff A =B...

    Graduate Which of the four forces is responsible for degeneracy pressure?

    Reality is stranger than fiction ;-) So let's begin with some hints. As You've may seen, fermions has spin which is multiple of 1/2, whilst bosons has spin given by natural numbers. What is that mean? When You consider wavefunction of composed system which consists of many particles ( bosons...

    Graduate On the multiplicity of the eigenvalue

    Maxima gives me following eigenvalues for Your matrix: [[-\sqrt{p34*p43+p23*p32},\sqrt{p34*p43+p23*p32},0,1],[1,1,2,1]] First vector are eigenvalues, second one - multiplicity.

    Graduate Covariant derivatives in Wolfram Math

    You may compute covariant derivative for any covarinat tensor, and in this case for A_i. As expressions are in spherical coordinate system then subscript i must agree with names of coordinates, so then i \in {r,\theta, \phi}. You may treat it as usual as with {x,y,z} . The proper use of...

    Graduate Constructing Ring over Monoid: Questions & Answers

    Good observation! Of course in typical situation, You have right: You do not need any additional element other than generators of a group. But in my situation there is a strange and interesting gain when I add L: as I wrote every element of R[M] may be expressed as : Z = aI + bS +cT +dL * I...

    Graduate Can an Equation Solver Handle Lattice Functions with Join and Meet Operators?

    Structure You describe is very general, but it also is algebra. So probably You should ask for software which works in general algebra and finds ( construct is probably better word) solutions. I assume that You know some algorithms for solving equations You show? If Yes, You probably may...
