renormalize's latest activity

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Other Hi, I need some advice about how to publish.Have you considered simply trying to "run it up the flagpole"? In other words: write a clear paper, send it to the appropriate journal...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Other Hi, I need some advice about how to publish.Personal theories are explicitly prohibited here on Physics Forums by the usage rules you agreed to follow when you registered your...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Random Photos.Agreed! As the sun gets higher in the sky, the top of the rainbow gets closer to the ground, and the visible portion of the arc gets...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Random Photos.Assuming the photo is not doctored, the only way I can see this happening is if an angled, specular-reflecting surface (a glass roof or...
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.This is a follow-up to my post #27 (which so far has not received any specific comments), in which I drew from the 1982 Silverman...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.OK, it seems clear that viewing a particle in a stationary state as moving with average speed ##\sqrt{⟨\mathbf{V\cdot V}⟩}## is an...

-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.As displayed in post #22, Ballentine explicitly defines the velocity operator ##\mathbf{V}##: If "it is not observable even in...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.That's because I don't understand what your issue is. In §3.4 Ballentine states: The Hamiltonian (3.60) pertinent to the stationary...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.The theoretical contribution of nuclear capture can be calculated and subtracted from measurements of muonic-atom lifetime in order to...
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.True, but per Ballentine's treatment of the hydrogen atom in §10.2: Setting ##M_e=m## and taking the mass of the proton...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.Huh? Doesn't ##p_n^2=(m\vec{v}_n)\cdot(m\vec{v}_n)=m^2 v_n^2\,##?
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.OK, I want to see if we're really on the same page, rather than in completely different chapters! Let's consider a non-relativistic...
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Graduate Can a causal or time-like structure emerge without assuming a metric?.This would happen whenever your stability condition (acyclicity?) forces the transitive closure of your general binary relation ##R\,##...
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.That's certainly possible! Given that you say "the electron has no path or position so the notion “the proper time of an electron” is...
-
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad Relativity, time, and quantum mechanics.The answer by @Nugatory is incorrect. As suggested by @anuttarasammyak, experiments with muonic atoms show that bound particles do...
