Matterwave's latest activity
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.A little unfortunate that the mathematical section of the wiki is just some references and an anecdote someone else wrote trying to make... -
Matterwave reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept? with
Like.
That's a different usage of the term "unbounded". -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.It's ok if the math is more difficult but is still well founded and the logical argument is clear. Let's see what he really says about...

Matterwave reacted to WWGD's post in the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept? with
Informative.
Look up NJ Wildberger, he's got a YouTube channel.https://youtube.com/shorts/8uGQyxt_Pso?si=_dT3apQAHr12U4Pb -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.It would be interesting if a mathematical Finitist could come and explain their position in a clear and coherent way. I suspect most...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.This is just a statement. Does Hobson actually show how "universal quantum fields" makes the 2-slit experiment natural and intuitive? I...

Matterwave reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept? with
Haha.
Chuck Norris did it twice. He failed at his third attempt earlier this year. R.I.P. -

I'll try to find the exact quote. In the Introduction, p. xiii of Fields and their Quanta, Hobson writes: "Chapter 4 discusses...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Feels just untrue to me. Do you have a concrete reference?
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.I covered this in posts 13 and 18.
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.Somewhat off topic to the thread, but just to close the loop on this: in our cosmological models the *observable* universe is finite due...

Matterwave reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad Meaning of division by non-whole real numbers with Like.
One can postulate that nature can do real numbers and base their existence and divisibility from that. However, most real numbers are...
-
The spacetime "bubble" generated by the warp core of the vessel is what dictates geometry. You can say the energy of the warp core...

Matterwave replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..It feels like you are considering spacetime to be the thing that dictates geometries of physical objects. It is not. The metric of...

Matterwave reacted to Roberto Pavani's post in the thread Undergrad Meaning of division by non-whole real numbers with Like.
It depend how "ancients" note that negative numbers didn't exists because negative area was not understood. Even zero wasn't accepted in...
