Matterwave's latest activity
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad How can light be a wave and particle at the same time?.The "light is both a particle and a wave" description is a rather outdated and non-precise description of our understanding of light... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.So, for example, the MWI might (would? I'm not a MWI guy lol, let's ask Sean Carrol) say that "the only real thing is the global wave...

Matterwave reacted to berkeman's post in the thread Simple kinematics problem — falling from a geostationary satellite with
Like.
Welcome to PF. That's a trick question. If you release a marble from a geostationary satellite, it just continues in the same orbit as... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad FLRW metric challenged, Einstein-Euler equations as alternative?."If one gives up the FLRW metric, then one perhaps does not need the assumption of isotropy." I haven't read the paper but would...

Matterwave replied to the thread High School Does this equation (Einstein’s field equations in general relativity) equal 12?.Not to distract from the movie references, but a solution of the EFEs is a spacetime manifold M with Lorentzian metric g (M, g). There...

Matterwave replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.I have not reviewed the paper. But even if we accept the premise that the typical QM wave function is not the non relativistic limit of...

Matterwave replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.Not sure if this point has already been made. Apologies if so, I didn't read every response in this thread. The wave function is a...

Matterwave replied to the thread High School The One Electron Universe suggested by Wheeler.Maybe the 1-electron universe was simply a stepping stone for Wheeler to get to the 0-electron universe haha. Charge without charge...
