PeroK reacted to bhobba's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with
Like.
Interesting point. The trouble I have with semantic answers to deep questions is whether we have really made progress. These days... -
PeroK replied to the thread Is mathematics invented or discovered?.Why do we assume that one of the concepts of invention and discovery must apply to mathematics? Perhaps it's neither. Perhaps...

PeroK reacted to ojitojuntos's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
Hey, thanks for engaging with the thread! I’m not a physicist, but I’m really enjoying reading the discussion. I just wanted to make a...

PeroK replied to the thread B Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?.Sooner or later a hurricane will blow through your house or a freak gust of wind will raise your table into the air.

PeroK replied to the thread B Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?.If you do a computer simulation of coin tossing, you might get 30 heads in a row (that's 1 in a billion), but probably not 50 heads in a...

PeroK reacted to Physics Detective's post in the thread B Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability? with Like.
I think you can be sure of the distinction between genuinely possible things, and speculative things for which we have no evidence...

PeroK reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane? with Like.
It seems a lot of confusion is created for the OP when the full original problem statement is not provided. The learner may not be able...

PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I don't agree with that at all. And I don't know how many physicists would. In all of physics you do calculations based on certain...

PeroK replied to the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay.That said, I'd be wary of putting too much emphasis on either QM or SR, as presented in a general physics book. For me, both these...

PeroK reacted to jjson775's post in the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay with Like.
I don’t know what “basic QM” is but am happy to have gained some insight into quantized energy, wave particle duality, the Schrödinger...

PeroK replied to the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay.You have to go for it and learn and study matter waves if that's what the book does. Matter waves were part of an early version of QM...

PeroK reacted to jjson775's post in the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay with Like.
My question came from a homework problem from Modern Physics, Serway Chapter 5, Matter Waves. Yes, not a real QM textbook.

PeroK replied to the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane?.I thought the point was that (depending on ##\mu## and ##\theta##) block B will initially slide down the slope, considerably...

PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I thought I was taking more an experimental view of establishing which components appear to influence the probabilities of the outcomes...

PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I don't have a specific interpretation in mind. My point is that, generally, the evolution of a superposition can be considered the...
