Nugatory replied to the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?.@Asaad-Hamad We can answer questions, but we can’t make you like the answer. The questions in the original post and repeated in #11... -
Nugatory replied to the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?.Suppose we just focus on your three questions: 1: Yes, it is possible to design equipment with the required sensitivity. 2: Everyone...

Nugatory reacted to TensorCalculus's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with
Like.
If you want the opinion of someone who’s also self-taught in physics, though maybe not to the same level as you are, it’s the same as... -
Nugatory replied to the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?.That’s the principle of relativity and it’s not Einstein, it’s Galileo from centuries earlier - Google for “Galilean transformations”...

Nugatory replied to the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics?.However he also had been through the most rigorous physics program available at the the time, had completed his PhD, was a regular...

No.

Nugatory replied to the thread A Is the constancy of c a postulate or a derivable theorem?.And this is why the ether was hypothesized in the first place, and the motivation for the MM experiment which would detect it. At least...

Nugatory reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Like.
I see no contradiction. I see consistency. The probability that ##10^{23}## independent samples drawn from a normal distribution with...

Nugatory replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.There is a reason why Google AI and other LLMs are not acceptable sources here. Stop quoting them, stop wasting your time trying to...
-
Nugatory replied to the thread I How do non-diagonal indices of a metric allow for local flatness?.In coordinate-independent language, it means that the Riemann curvature tensor is zero at that point (and "close enough" to zero nearby).

Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.You might want to start by working through the Twin Paradox FAQ...

Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.It can be even simpler (and may have been what @Ibix was doing way back in #2 of this thread): Remove the earth and its gravitational...

Nugatory replied to the thread I How do non-diagonal indices of a metric allow for local flatness?.Minkowski spacetime and Minkowski coordinates are different things. The spacetime is what it is no matter what coordinates we use to...

Nugatory replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.No. the original form, published in the same 1905 paper in which Einstein introduced special relativity, involved circular motion (and...

We don't. Prevailing opinion is that GR stops being an accurate model somewhere inside (or possibly even outside, although I think...
