The real difference is between luck versus the sure thing of a rule. If Monte blindly opens a goat door, that is luck that changes the... -

Sad.
If there were 100 doors, each would not contain .01 car. The reality would be1 door containing a car and 99 doors containing goats. As... -

There are two choices. One has 1/3 chance having the car and the other has 2/3 chance to have the car. Your error is in thinking that... -

Only if the two options are equal probability, which they are not. Simply having two options does not mean that the probability is 1/2... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Please Explain (actually explain) The Monty Hall Problem.Are you saying that if you stick with your original choice then you win 50% of the time? -
PeroK replied to the thread High School An apparent contradiction between Fleming's rules.I think we had a similar thread a couple of years ago. It might be worth searching for it. I don't use hand rules, but remember the... -
PeroK replied to the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane.... because the horizontal component comprises two divergent integrals. Making the limit configuration fundamentally unphysical. -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Potato paradox.If a veridical paradox were not a paradox, would that itself be a veridical paradox? -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Newton's first law?.... for example, in electrodynamics the field is everything. Griffiths uses this idea extensively. If two fields/forces on a particle... -

Like.
I'll say it again more strongly. The only reliable way to handle an idealisation is as the limit of realistic versions. When there is... -
PeroK reacted to Vincf's post in the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane with
Sad.
The Coulomb integral giving the horizontal field does not converge (its value depends on how far the surface is extended to infinity)... -
PeroK reacted to Meir Achuz's post in the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane with
Agree.
I am confused by this thread. Perhaps I misread something, Why try to replace a trivial Gauss's law solution by an ambiguous limit of...
