I've recently been perusing job boards and have not seen a lot of jobs outright asking for physics degrees. However, from personal experience and talking to recent grads many industries use physics grads in various capacities. Insurance companies train physics and math grads as actuaries and...
The idea that there is no preferred observer, and that all measurements are just entanglements between observer and observed-adriank
I like this idea on many levels.
I think its possible to discuss fundamental concepts of quantum entanglement conceptually using plain English for an admittedly screwy set of ideas!
But if you think of things classically, consider the double pendulum problem. When you derive the equations of motion, you cannot reference the...

hehehe He's just trying to get a rise out of someone. Don't let it bother you. Take what he has to say regarding the math and physics and ignore the rest lol!

Consider the triangles that the other poster with the videos showed. That gives you all the information you need. Sometimes it is easy to get confused with the trigonometric inverse functions so here is an example to lubricate your brain a bit:
arcsin(1)=90...
It seems like many of these explanations are somewhat convoluted. Physically speaking the integrand is the equation of a semicircle, therefore using circular functions like sine and cosine is warranted. What about this? x^2 + y^2=r^2, here r=3 recall the usual parameterization of the equation in...
Jeges don't mind him just examine what he's said, as he clearly is lacking social skills! I have another way you can visualize how to find cos(sin^-1(x/3)) and it involves constructing your triangles similar to what you've already done. You know that for right triangles sin(x)=opp/hyp and...
[FONT="Times New Roman"]Okay to clarify, I think about performing mathematical operations on structures that have certain characteristics. As a kids we always dealt with set elements that satisfied the commutative law. But in introductory qm we are faced with examples where operators don't...
[FONT="Times New Roman"]I think you misunderstood me, I was asking for someone's input not criticizing the paper just trying to understand the last sentence of the abstract in context.
Better question, how do operators act on wavefunctions in non commutative geometrical context?

Two pillars of modern physics, quantum mechanics and gravity, have so far resisted attempts to be reconciled into one grand theory. This has prompted suggestions that theories about either or both need to be modified at a fundamental...

Yes Carl, this is where we have a difference in approach. I don't...

Oh lastly Carl, I never specify which base in Log I am using because that depends upon easiest way to parse problem. I want a pure interpretation of a number and a generating series base three. At this point we are speaking around one another because our desire is to...
Response to C. Brennen on neutrino mass calculations

Carl thanks for the response, but I think you missed the point I was trying to make. Yes I know how a calculator works, but the crucial point I was trying to make was that you get truncation error when you solve log equation for...

Hello Carl:
I found this on a thread on Kea's blog. Nice. I share Alejandro's thoughts on accuracies in your approximations. I don't, however, knock the idea of looking for meaning in powers of three. To be honest, there is a beauty in that approach. Ultimately, just check your...
