    Ever thought of living where no one knows you

    I always think of living in the U.S. I'm sick of where I am living now.

    Graduate The GZK-Cutoff, we are living in a simulation

    The topic has been interesting since something strange happened to me years ago. In the past the simulated world seemed so much like a natural one until one day the odds couldn't properly add up together anymore. And I can see more and more holes in the play. Now I believe at least two type of...

    Graduate Event horizon and quantum tunneling

    Things are becoming more and more interesting now! There have been quit a few possible similarities between the macro-scale black holes and micro-scale particles, from quantum wormhole, Hawking radiation to even quantum waves. And God knows what other similarities they may have in common...

    Graduate Is Gravitational Wave a Projection of Quantum Wave if ER = EPR?

    This post was originally in the homework section of the forum, then it was transferred here.

    Graduate Phonon Lorentz Invariance in Superfluids - Papers?

    Oops, thanks for the remind: ACOUSTICS IN BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES AS AN EXAMPLE OF BROKEN LORENTZ SYMMETRY http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0109033v1.pdf

    Graduate Phonon Lorentz Invariance in Superfluids - Papers?

    It is said phonon(not photon) in superfluid experiments could also produce similar upper-limit speed effect which I'm not sure if that's also Lorentz invariant. Another problem is that I can't dig out those paper that demonstrates this kind of effect. Anyone ever seen any of this paper? Thanks..

    Graduate Is Gravitational Wave a Projection of Quantum Wave if ER = EPR?

    Homework Statement If ER==EPR Then IsPossible(gravitational wave == projection of quantum wave) In other words: If the conjecture of "ER = EPR" is true, is it possible that "gravitational wave = 3+1 dimensional part of quantum wave" is also true? 2. Homework Equations The quantum source...

    Graduate Can Quantum Mechanics Explain the Fate of the Bucket in a Thought Experiment?

    That reminds me a bit. Not only the observer pick up objects, but the objects pick up the observers. The objects are meaningless without observers. The various interactions -- visible or invisible, known or unknown -- between the observers and objects, build both of them. Yeah, that might not...

    NASA New Earth-sister Kepler 452b announced by NASA

    I'd like to bet that 452-b is not the only planet of the planetary system, considering the scale of the 452 system. Anybody follows?

    Possibility to use fast-growing sea plant to cool the earth?

    1) I'm not sure yet. But my conjecture is that it could be kind of similar to the effect of the sweat hairs on a human body. 2) I guess more evaporation leads to more cloud which reflect more sun light back to the outer space, though I have no proof on this assumption. I know there are some...

    Possibility to use fast-growing sea plant to cool the earth?

    Can we use fast-growing sea plant to increase the surface area of the sea, enhance global evaporation, and get the Earth cooler? Do we know some sea plants growing really fast with photosynthesis? I was struck with this idea when I was doing a search on giant vegetables on land.
