While this is true, my understanding is that representation theory yields just a solution of the reps field equations. The corresponding...

Yes, but the "interpretation" required here is very minimal: you just need to know the operational meaning of the quantities in the...

My fluency hovers somewhere between 0.5 and 0.75 Copenhagen Interpretations.

Typically people use feedback to solve such problems. This doesn’t require an accurate model of motion. All that’s needed is a...

There is a coordinate system, referred to as the TT gauge, that I find makes visualization of bar detectors easier. Think of an isolated...

Also, for Ohms law, current flowing through a resistor dissipates energy in the form of heat. For Newton, force goes into kinetic...

This is an excellent question which is why I have the best free will money can buy.

In physics, all theories are quantitative and formulated in terms of mathematics.

Basically, no one knows. This is sometimes called "the hard problem of consciousness". It's fairly easy to understand how the neurons...

I was going to say one bond at a time but…

FWIW this AI description matches what I was able to pull from the detector description in the paper. The Xe gives off light if a Xe...

Any chance we could get a 5-year old's understanding of what we're seeing here: My questions - and my updates from browsing, in blue...

What is the intended behavior of your hardware? For example, is it to balance? Cancel tipping motion?

The two twins follow two different paths. One twins path proper length is shorter. As setup, the shorter path twin must accelerate to...

Visualize as a manifold seems to be all you consider. There’s the algebraic aspect of ##SO(3)## as well.
