QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.If the universe is infinite and matter is distributed randomly and uniformly, patterns have to repeat. This is because there’s a limit... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Single vs. Double slit coherence clarification please.This is a misconception. When people say it's like a particle or wave it doesn't mean it's actually either. It's just in general... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Space Stuff and Launch Info.I guess that makes sense. You already have engines and a fuel tank so the weight savings (if any) of adding in a parachute system... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Is the 2-qubit singlet state invariant under bilateral projections?.In QM we can look at two different update rules: $$|\psi\rangle \mapsto U|\psi\rangle$$ with ##U## unitary. This evolution of the state... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Which-Path from Global Momentum Measurement in Double Slit.Like before, a global measurement of the screen’s total momentum gives which-path information only if the two recoil states are... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.The universe appears homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. The lower bound for the size of the universe is much much larger than... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Which-Path from Global Momentum Measurement in Double Slit.This is basically what you're asking: https://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0101157 A global momentum measurement of the screen only yields... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Is the 2-qubit singlet state invariant under bilateral projections?.I mean, you just kind of make it up and pick a definition for it so everyone is on the same page. You could argue for exact invariances... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Pre-reqs for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?).The delta between Griffiths and Jackson isn't that large. Jackson goes into more detail on certain topics, like BVP, chapters 10, 15, 16... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Pre-reqs for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?).It's kind of a given that they don't. Even after reading all of Jackson this would be true. You plug in the holes as you're reading. -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Space Stuff and Launch Info.Why land boosters at all though? Why not just parachute them down if you want to refurbish them? The shuttle used to just drop them in... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Is the 2-qubit singlet state invariant under bilateral projections?.##(A \otimes A )\ket{\Psi^-} = \det(A)\ket{\Psi^-}## in the above context is always true. The proof is trivial. For invariance you need... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Pre-reqs for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?).I don't understand how you could get a masters without doing graduate E&M. Seems crazy to me. Anyway. How much do you know about... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Physics Need some advice! (making a physics YouTube channel).You’d be better off imo focusing on coursework and undergraduate research. Adding in the editing and production of a YT channel to that...
