QuarkyMeson reacted to berkeman's post in the thread Open Source: Electrostatic Perimeter for Wildfire Mitigation with
Like.
After a Mentor discussion, this thread will remain closed. @Hugox -- Per the PF rules, we are not able to help with personal research... -
QuarkyMeson reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with
Like.
That's a good point, which may well limit the temporal resolution of the particle positions. Moreover, depending on the size of the... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.The eye diagram makes my point rather than yours. It's a good tool for the problem it was built for. It's the wrong tool for the one... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.I guess when you patent a hammer everything starts looking like nails. -
QuarkyMeson reacted to Hornbein's post in the thread Structural failure (buckling) of columns in NY City building, 235 E 42nd Street with
Haha.
"Work to rebuild the buckled sections of the skyscraper won’t delay the construction project scheduled to be completed next year," I... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Options for fixing power connector on Acer laptop.Honestly cracking open the case and soldering off the old connector and putting a new one on would be pretty trivial in all probability... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Weird behavior I am trying to understand.Almost certainly how the document was encoded / some flaw there in. Are there any outstanding updates for your pdf reader though? If you... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.I think the point of @renormalize post was that finite-resolution measurements can provide a time-resolved record of particle motion... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Announcement PF Style 2026.On mobile I’m defaulted into dark mode. -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.Back to this, howwww are we detecting the particle? You suggest that the detector is left on, so I'm assuming you want continuous... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.The Hamiltonian isn't something you measure, it's part of the specification of the system. Measuring energy is a separate operation... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.The problem again is that this is not a normalized momentum probability distribution, its integral over p diverges. So you can't... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.An exact position eigenstate is a generalized, non-normalizable state; i.e., not a physically preparable one. Its divergent momentum... -
QuarkyMeson reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with
Like.
No, the particle's speed is extremely uncertain. It could be almost light speed or it could be zero. And it could be moving in any... -

Like.
While that's true if you insist on zero uncertainty in location, you may instead use a medium like photographic film to continuously...
