Matterwave reacted to PeroK's post in the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space? with
Haha.
Don't try to tell me that SI units are a European conspiracy to try to confuse Americans! -
Matterwave reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Radiation in classical and quantum mechanics with
Like.
Which is why the classical view is wrong. -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate On a paper by Udwadia and Kalaba.Am I understanding you correctly, that your read of the paper is that it claims we can have more constraints than the total number of...

Matterwave reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Radiation in classical and quantum mechanics with Like.
There is no "classical reason" vs. "quantum reason". You are confusing models with reality. Reality is just radiation. The classical...

Matterwave reacted to PeroK's post in the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space? with Like.
This thread seems to over-complicating things. The speed of light is invariant. That is determined by experiment. At least to the point...

Matterwave reacted to Roberto Pavani's post in the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space? with
Skeptical.
Maxwell wave equation -
Matterwave replied to the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space?.Maybe to clarify a bit, we can step back. There are constants of the universe which we do not know how to explain. They are called...

Matterwave reacted to Ibix's post in the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space? with Like.
They don't. Discovering that there's no evidence of a medium was a large part of the work that led to relativity theory.
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Position vs momentum measurement.If you are asking from a purely theoretical view, you should be able to make your question much more precise. For example, what state...
-
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.I don't view it that way. Energy as a concept is quite well defined and precise within each physical theory. Indeed that definition...

Matterwave reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
Disabusing people of notions like everything is made of energy is well within the wheelhouse of physicists.

Matterwave replied to the thread High School Building intuition for waves (& quantum waves).If you care more about the mathematical treatment of waves, then you would want to study the mathematics of oscillatory motion...

Matterwave replied to the thread High School Building intuition for waves (& quantum waves).I think if you want to build intuition for physical waves, it's best to start with the simple cases -- with waves on a rope, waves on...

Matterwave replied to the thread Why does the movement of electrons create fields?.See @renormalize post #22. The asymmetry comes because magnetic monopoles, as far as we know, do not exist. This asymmetry is indeed...

Matterwave reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Why does the movement of electrons create fields? with Like.
Actually, both the electric and magnetic fields are on the same footing as part of the Maxwell's "unified" electromagnetism. Any...
