That's encouraging since he's doing this right off the bat at the beginning of his book in chapter II. I think I'm going to like this guy's style. So thank you very much for the reference. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks DrClaude, I'll see if I can find a copy of that book at my college library. By the way that book is two volumes. Can you tell me whether that's chapter II of volume I or volume II? I might need to order it via inter-library loan. So I'd like to make sure I get the right book. Thanks

It's my understanding that there is a direct correspondence between Schrodinger's wave equation and Heisenberg's matrix representations. I've always wanted to understand this equivalence but never really took the time to look into it. I'm just now getting back into re-learning Matrix or...

Yes I really appreciate Space_Cadet sharing this document. I'm really far behind the curve. I need a whole lot of prerequisites going as far back as basic QM. But this paper is really pointing the way to precisely what I need to focus in on. I really appreciate the first 11 references...

Not really. I'm more of the gardening type anyway. And it is getting close to gardening season here. So that's really what I should be doing with my time. In the spirit of bar room chatter let me pass some stuff by you. I heard that someone had discovered a relationship between the...

Oh, that's cool. I watch those! I enjoy watching lectures. :)

I might be too far behind the train at this point. Maybe I should just give up and go fishing.

I majored in physics and chemistry when I was in college and none of those equations on his list look familiar to me. So I'm wondering what courses I missed. I have no clue what these equations are. Here are my best guesses, and trust me, these are really lame guesses...

Thanks atyy, I downloaded Woodhouse's lectures on both SR and GR. They book look great. He takes SR into some serious transformations right off the bat. So it won't hurt me to start in on his SR course to reacquaint myself with with vector transformations and lineal algebra. It looks...

Thanks to Marcus for starting this thread. And special thanks to Space Cadet for posting your introductory PDF. I can even just print out your table of contents and use that for a nice organizing template. Shamefully, I can see where I'm going to need to brush up on General Relativity...

Hi, sorry for the interruption, I quoted the above from post #17 of this thread. I'm just wondering if a non-technical discussion of loop gravity in only one to ten pages has ever been achieved? I would love to have a nice concise and refined synopsis of the main ideas of LQG along with...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Gambini and Pullin's book looks like a good place for me to start. I've been reading it online as a preview in Google Books. They preview quite a lot of it so just that preview will keep me busy for a while and when I'm ready for more details I'll...

Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope it's ok to post my questions here. I would like to learn the basic fundamentals of Loop Quantum Gravity as efficiently as possible. I'm currently 63 years old. I majored in Physics and Chemistry eons ago, and so I'm rusty on everything but...

Well no need to claim that I'm on a 'pedestal'. [SIZE="5"]I agree that I was wrong. How's that? I AGREEnow that Cantor's proof is restricted by the the assumption of these axioms (although in truth, those axioms weren't in place in Cantor's day). They actually evolved out of the...

With all due respect doesn't this seem to be a bit restrictive? You just asked me yourself, "What process?? Do you mean taking the limit?? The limit of rational numbers doesn't need to be rational." A question like that demands addressing the very concept of LIMIT. You, as a...
