Nugatory replied to the thread High School Einstein equations don't work at large scale?.And it still is. That’s not a my take on the history, and I’m thinking that you are still overestimating the extent to which new... -
Nugatory replied to the thread High School Double slit experiment - sensor interacts with photons?.We know that we’re getting single photons one by one when the dots indicating that a photon has landed on the screen appear one at a...

Nugatory reacted to Dale's post in the thread High School Double slit experiment - sensor interacts with photons? with
Like.
To me, this is the weird version. It shows that matter is a wave. -
Nugatory replied to the thread High School Double slit experiment - sensor interacts with photons?.We don’t. All we observe is the dot on the photographic film screen where the photon landed and was absorbed. As an aside, any...

Nugatory replied to the thread High School Double slit experiment - sensor interacts with photons?.Many popsci presentations really grossly misrepresent “the” double slit experiment. There are at least three different types of “double...

That's going to be very difficult (if it is possible at all) to reconcile with existing evidence. Specifically, the constancy of the...

Unfortunately, that's not possible. As Bertrand Russell said, to the extent that math refers to reality, it is not certain, and to the...

Nugatory replied to the thread Undergrad Was Richard Feynman's explanation of the twin paradox wrong?.Perhaps. But the work of Dunning and Kruger will remain as relevant as ever.

Nugatory replied to the thread Undergrad Was Richard Feynman's explanation of the twin paradox wrong?.If that’s what you’ve taken away from this forum we have done something very wrong…. Especially because we’ve already pointed you at...

Nugatory replied to the thread Hello, I am Rasťo.You will want to be very cautious about trusting ChatGPT in these interactions. You are not "exchanging ideas" with it, you are passing...

Nugatory reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread Undergrad Was Richard Feynman's explanation of the twin paradox wrong? with Like.
The two twins follow two different paths. One twins path proper length is shorter. As setup, the shorter path twin must accelerate to...

Nugatory replied to the thread Undergrad Was Richard Feynman's explanation of the twin paradox wrong?.Worth noting that "the changing reference frame" bit is not quite exactly incorrect, but it is carelessly worded, and that is one of the...

Nugatory replied to the thread AI Is AI Overhyped?.if we’re considering whether the impact of AI is overhyped, then this is the wrong question. The right question is “how many of the...

Nugatory replied to the thread Undergrad Newton's bucket experiment.That is the wrong question, because we can call that frame anything we want and the physics will be the same. (And if you’re...

Nugatory replied to the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability?.Nothing. The EPR argument was that quantum mechanics is incomplete, meaning that there was some deeper theory in which each particle...
