PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Trying to calculate proper time of worldlines using rotating frames.That is Born coordinates. I don't know what you mean by this. A number ##\omega## appears in your metric; that appears to be a fixed... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Trying to calculate proper time of worldlines using rotating frames.Then I'm confused. The metric you gave in post #7 is for Born coordinates. -
PeterDonis reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming? with
Like.
The same people who were responsible before the AI "took over". If someone does their home work with AI assistance, it is still their... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.For a critique of her treatment of Feynman from someone who was in a much better position than she to know relevant facts, see this... -

As @PeterDonis said in #22, the OP calculated in the Born coordinates (see the "edit" note at the end of #20). I just "tidied up" the... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Oh, for goodness' sake. I'm sorry to sound blunt here, but if you feel cheated because you didn't think to look at the inside cover of... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation.I'm not sure what you're asking for in post #8. That might help here, yes. The Schrodinger Equation is (writing it in one spatial... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Trying to calculate proper time of worldlines using rotating frames.I'm not sure the OP is actually using the same Born coordinates for both observers. The calculation in post #7 looks like it's... -
PeterDonis reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory? with
Like.
Unfortunately, that means the topic is not suitable for this forum. We exclusively focus on topics that are in the literature. We could... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Why would that be a reason not to read it? Even if it wasn't written by Feynman, strictly speaking, it's still about him, and has a lot... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics.What would count as such a measurement, if all the measurement results we already have that confirm the predictions of our best current... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Trying to calculate proper time of worldlines using rotating frames.You are misinterpreting what that coordinate restriction means. The Born ##\phi## coordinate of the rotating observers the OP is using... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Question about Parallel Transport.I think what you mean by "regular Euclidean space" here is actually "Newtonian physics". Basically you're saying that in Newtonian... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Question about Parallel Transport.Ok, so it's not a matter of the analogue to F-W transport not existing in Riemannian manifolds, it's a matter of whether it's considered... -
PeterDonis reacted to Orodruin's post in the thread High School Matter density right after the decoupling with
Like.
Free-streaming means that the (average) density of matter is so small that the mean-free path exceeds the size of the Universe. The...
