-
Nugatory replied to the thread I Confused about time dilation -- motion vs energy.That is not what time dilation means. Consider that right now you are moving at that speed relative to a cosmic ray particle wandering... -
I think @Nugatory's post actually highlights the contradiction in the OP's thinking quite nicely. We start with a black hole of mass...
-
Nugatory replied to the thread B How can a black hole absorb matter?.There is, and the “similar threads” section below will take you to some of the older threads about this. An excerpt from one of them...

Nugatory reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread I Visual depiction of atomic orbitals with
Like.
##Y^m_l## is a function of two variables that has complex values on a sphere. Following @WernerQH in post #6, ##p_z## is described by... -
Nugatory reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Please explain how length contraction and time dilation result in a constant c with Like.
As a general point, when starting out with relativity I'd advise you to forget about length contraction and time dilation. They are...

Nugatory replied to the thread I Please explain how length contraction and time dilation result in a constant c.You might want to look at the relativistic velocity addition formula, which combines the effects of relativity of simultaneity, length...

Nugatory reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry? with Like.
But you are still using Newtonian formulae, which means you accept the principle of relativity. So you are not testing the principle of...

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...
