PeroK's latest activity

A little off topic, but since I alluded to Faraday's long apprenticeship with Sir Humphrey Davy that acted as bridge from self teaching...

@adam_snyder if you have a software development background, and believe you have found some improved ways to do computational general...

That's what the Michelson-Morley experiment did. If there were a universal rest frame (in which Maxwell's laws held), then the speed of...

There is no such thing as a spin -1/2 particle. The 1/2 refers to the magnitude of total spin, which is always positive. That said...

If the lab frame says that the particles have equal and opposite velocities and pass through mirrored EM fields for equal durations then...

Just for the record, one way to synchronize two clocks would be for one clock to send out a signal at ##t_1 = 0## and when that signal...

In basic QM, there are definite quantities, like mass, charge and total spin. An electron has a given mass, given charge and spin 1/2...

Researchers into quantum gravity are not going to change course because a student somewhere is mixing up classical physics and relativity!

Basically, we are applying the same force over the same distance and therefore doing the same work on both projectiles. But here’s the...

PS if you have a random pair of particles, there is no way to know whether they are entangled. You could do one measurement on each of...

Entanglement, theoretically, comes from the conservation laws. That can then be tested. You measure a given quantity on each pair of...

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...

That’s the principle of relativity and it’s not Einstein, it’s Galileo from centuries earlier - Google for “Galilean transformations”...

Damn it, I did not read this post, just the first one. Ok so my crankometer just went off a little. Comparing yourself to Faraday and...

Sure. Physics has that pesky 'reality' thing above all, what makes a difference: those who did not prove beforehand to be able to walk...
