    I What mechanism enables interaction of the fields?

    Hey, Bill, that's a superb answer. Thank you very much! Have you written any books? I shall enjoy the reading you have suggested.

    I What mechanism enables interaction of the fields?

    In Quantum Field Theory, I am led to believe that there is a different field for each type of particle. When particles interact, it is an exchange of vibration between the fields. What mechanism is at play when one field influences another in this way? It seems I've only ever found...

    B Fly in Elevator: Does Compression Affect Hovering?

    However, note that a lift accelerating constantly at 1g due to its movement caused by the cables *in the presence of Earth's gravitational field (of 1g)* will have an interior that seems as though it is either: accelerating in empty, distant space at 2g or; sitting still in a gravitational field...

    B Fly in Elevator: Does Compression Affect Hovering?

    Gravity equals acceleration. There is no difference. The acceleration for the fly here comes from its wings' interaction with the air's molecules. Einstein was amazing for realising stuff like this. :D (I just watched the last episode of 'Genius' and I'm woefully sad that it focussed so much...

    B Fly in Elevator: Does Compression Affect Hovering?

    You need to understand this: the fly will know only about its motion upwards due to the lift moving by its interaction with the air in the lift. The air 'knows' only about its motion upwards due to the lift moving by its interaction with the lift's floor. So only once the air has been affected...
