PeroK replied to the thread How far will we let AI control us?.What have you or any of us ever done that is truly new and unique? Everything builds on what we know and have learned already. -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is energy really conserved?.If you balanced a double gyroscope about its centre, then a) if the wheels are not spinning, the system will balance; b) if the wheels...

Skeptical.
There is resistance to from each wheel being forced to turn, the resulting torques oppose as angular momentum of each is opposite. Same... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is energy really conserved?.The experiment you propose is not clear from your description. It's not clear to me why you think energy is lost from a system of two...

PeroK reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread High School Is it correct to state that all measurements count photons? with
Like.
After moderator review, the thread will remain closed. As @FactChecker points out, the fact that the EM interaction is involved in some... -

Using a tuning fork to measure whether a piano is in tune counts zero photons.

PeroK replied to the thread High School Mass & energy increments a la e = mc^2.PS in an atom, the electron is bound to the proton in a fundamental way. This is where QM is fundamentally different from classical...

PeroK replied to the thread High School Mass & energy increments a la e = mc^2.The mass of a system in QFT includes all the internal binding and kinetic energies. Note that both an atom and even a proton are...

PeroK reacted to Ibix's post in the thread High School Mass & energy increments a la e = mc^2 with Like.
I think the point is that an electron in free space, an electron in an atom ground state, and an electron in an excited state are three...
-
PeroK replied to the thread High School Mass & energy increments a la e = mc^2.I understand that. But, your reasoning is based on the faulty premises that I tried to explain. It cannot be due to additional...
-
PeroK replied to the thread High School Mass & energy increments a la e = mc^2.You are missing the key point that an excited atom has less mass that the sum of its constituent parts. You are not looking for extra...

PeroK replied to the thread How far will we let AI control us?.It's difficult to talk about AI, beyond the technical level, without becoming political. It feels like this tool has been developed at...
