Matterwave's latest activity
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particles' Intrinsic Properties in QFT.Expanding a little. States in QFT live in a Hilbert space. The irreducible subspaces of that Hilbert space has certain symmetries... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.If I were your Prof and you made the statement: I would probably want to clear you of that misconception first. Reviewing your theory...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.It seems there's some fundamental misunderstandings. Falsifiability is a very loose criterion, it just says your theory "makes some...

Matterwave reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Particles' Intrinsic Properties in QFT with
Like.
They're not part of any state. They're part of the mathematical description of the field--more precisely, they are properties of the... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Tbh probably the most productive thing that could be done is to do as martin suggested earlier. Study the theory or theories and in the...

Matterwave reacted to DavidMiranda's post in the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this with Like.
You are absolutely right. I was trying to eat the cake and have it: I didn't want to say what the assumptions I was making were, to...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Btw, I'm not frustrated, I'm only trying to flesh out the logical possibilities. If you read frustration in my tone, it was unintentional.

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.Sorry if this got lost, but I was responding specifically to this quote: By this I read you are saying you contradict the postulates...
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Simplified Special Relativity: Looking to get roasted on this.The postulate that the speed of light is constant and independent of frames is borne out by observation. Most famously by Michelson...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particles' Intrinsic Properties in QFT.Fair enough~

I would say it has zero charge, mass, spin, etc.
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particles' Intrinsic Properties in QFT.Define "part of"? As I read the question, I would say "no". The vacuum state itself does not posses charge, mass, spin, etc. But...
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Confused about the conservation of angular momentum.It seems pretty easy to come up with these "some other thing" to me. Mount two rockets pointing in opposite directions at the two ends...
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Entanglement might be the result of an underlying law?.I only very briefly glanced through the paper and the no-signalling theorem also quickly came to mind (maybe because they keep talking...

Matterwave reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Entanglement might be the result of an underlying law? with Like.
They define "local" to allow for the possibility of "locally inaccessible information", which is what many people would just call...
