Thanks for your explanation. Then, a non stationary path cant create weird phenomena in gr, like a non inertial geodesic. Anything beyond this goes to attempts trying to unify qm and gr and there is still no validated answer for that.

I misunderstood one thing in path integral formulation I guess. Meaning of different phases cancel out at macroscopic level isn’t all paths are present but it collapses into one of them thing, its more like all paths are present and their superposition is the only observable we get out of them...

And, we interpret non stationary phases physically in an intuitive manner. What would be the meaning of non dlamabertian paths? And in a non stationary path how would light bending in an inertial elevator thought experiment work?

Because action principle does apply to r and q. And it gives the same results with action principle. Also, its derivation doesnt compeletely depend on newtonian mechanics, it should be valid for arbitraty coordinates such as fields. I asked because in qm there are non stationary paths. So...

We can derive action principle from dAlemberts principle. Does deviations from classical paths violate the d’alemberts principle? Like the inertial force not balancing external force in a small element of interest? What would this mean in terms of general relativity? So if an inertial force...

First of all, I guess classifying particles as excitations of fields stem from the fact that fields can be decomposed into plane waves which are particles in some sense and since they are infinite we have infinitely many of them. Like, any continious electric field can be decomposed into plane...

Thanks everyone.

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from...

Thanks for the responses.

Can anyone recommend books on artificial photosynthesis?

Yes I have. Thanks. Since I am still an undergrad, I don't have experience on reading journal but I will give it a try.

Can you recommend me a source to self study computational materials science? I am currently doing an internship and want to study in my spare time for materials science. I will take a course named computational methods in materials science but I want to learn it earlier than that but I can't...

Whenever I touch to a doorknob or any other metallic object I get electrically shocked. Does this occur because of temperature difference between me and the metal? Is it similar to seebeck effect?

Only 2 is correct. 1)Since P is moving downward the wave is going to right as p approaches to right. 2)Yes, since R has a longer way to go. 3) Both are going to right.
