-
Nugatory replied to the thread I Does action at a distance violate any conservation principles?.Indeed we might - our mental model of reality, trained by a lifetime of experience with classical phenomena, demands exactly that. But... -
Nugatory reacted to PeroK's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with
Like.
Nature laughs at the difficulties of integration! -
Nugatory replied to the thread Announcement Please welcome berkeman as PF Admin.Most of what Berkeman does is only visible to the other mentors - so he’s been doing way more than meets the eye.
-
Nugatory replied to the thread B Debating the Validity of a Conversion Factor for Mass-Energy Equivalence.It is nonsense. The thread can remain closed.
-
Nugatory replied to the thread Very long-term temperature trend.The rate of change is also important.
-
Nugatory replied to the thread What papers is the CO2 climate change theory based on?.Back in 2014 we decided that we would allow science-based climate change discussions as described in the sticky that @berkeman posted...

Nugatory replied to the thread B Can an expanding EM be quantized: E=mc^2?.It’s best not to use the word “expand” at all, but instead rely on the math: do the math and you will be able to calculate the EM field...

Nugatory replied to the thread B Can an expanding EM be quantized: E=mc^2?.Assuming that by “em” you mean “electromagnetic”(although that’s the only kind of photon), then yes, the upper case letter ##E## is...

Nugatory replied to the thread B Debating the Validity of a Conversion Factor for Mass-Energy Equivalence."Someone posted" is not a good start to a thread, as without the source we have no way of knowing whether you've misunderstood something...

Nugatory reacted to hokhani's post in the thread A Angular momentum uncertainty principle and the particle on a ring with Like.
Also in classical view, when a particle is rotating about z-axis, the x,y components of angular momentum are not zero. They are zero in...

Nugatory reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread A very naive encryption scheme : How would an expert crack it? with Like.
This original series of digits. Is it finite? If the original key is finite then one should instead use a cryptographically strong...

Nugatory reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread I Validity of identical eigenfunction of commutating operators with Like.
As @PeroK replied in #8, nothing is wrong with #7. Only basis states are considered there. But your ##\psi## in OP (#1) is a...

Nugatory replied to the thread I Validity of identical eigenfunction of commutating operators.If two operators commute, then at least some of the eigenfunctions of one will be eigenfunctions of the other - but not necessarily all...

Nugatory reacted to Lord Jestocost's post in the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition? with Like.
The appropriate question would be: Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with 'classical' intuition?

Nugatory reacted to gentzen's post in the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition? with Like.
Well, that depends on the version of Copenhagen. Bohr's version is inherently non-relativistic. The version by Heisenberg and his...
