    Graduate Relation between binding energy and inertial mass

    If you are, then it should be no surprise to you that mass contains contribution from energy.

    Graduate Expanding over R and L polarisations

    I don't see how your second sentence (complex number problem) logically follows your first one.

    Graduate Relation between binding energy and inertial mass

    I don't understand your question. You are not familiar with mass-energy equivalence?

    Graduate Expanding over R and L polarisations

    What difficulties have you encountered in expanding this tensor product?

    Graduate Hyperfine splitting in Hydrogen atom

    The proton spin is the cause of hyperfine splitting, so what is the meaning of saying the former (cause) is independent from the latter (result)?

    Graduate Relation between binding energy and inertial mass

    Gravitational mass is actually a classical concept because it is the "charge" appearing in Newton's gravitational law. There is no analogue in general relativity.

    Graduate Does Inflation Affect the Perception of Time in Expanding Space?

    First, in GR only spacetime is an unambiguously defined object. Space and time are derived concepts and they depend on how you decompose spacetime. This makes your questions confusing. When you understand, you may reformulate your question.

    Graduate Does Inflation Affect the Perception of Time in Expanding Space?

    Your question seems not related to your title, and I'm not sure what you are asking.

    Graduate Can Light Be Polarized Despite Its Three-Dimensional Wave Nature?

    Why does light waves have to be like spheres or planes in order to diffract? I don't understand your question.

    Graduate Coulomb Gauge and Gauge Transformation

    Coulomb gauge is a specific way to fix the gauge

    Graduate Relativistic angular momentum and cyclic coordinates

    L = - {m_0}{c^2}\sqrt {1 - \frac{{{{\dot r}^2} + {r^2}{{\dot \theta }^2}}}{{{c^2}}}} - V\left( r \right) so \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial \dot \theta }} = \gamma {m_0}{r^2}\dot \theta What's the problem?

    Graduate First Law of Thermodynamics for Irreversible Processes

    If the irreversibility is a result of not being quasi-static, then none of T, S, P, V is well defined, and this equation fails. If the irreversibility is due to friction, then obviously {\rm{d}}U = T{\rm{d}}S - p{\rm{d}}U + \boldsymbol{f}\cdot\boldsymbol{x}

    Undergrad Influence of Centrifugal force in 'g'

    Yes. And "g" values already include the contribution from centrifugal forces.

    Graduate Event Horizons & Falling Objects: Will Bob See It?

    My point was that null surface as it is, the "speed" of event horizon is not a well-defined and physically useful concept. And you were trying to prove that the horizon is moving at the speed of light without defining the speed of a surface. It's not about the properties of event horizon; it's...
