    Undergrad Is the Inward Flow of Space in the River Model Physically Detectable?

    Can you cite technical references that propose and construct this "real physical flow"? And for those of us unfamiliar with the river model of gravity, here are two papers for background: The river model of black holes A river model of space

    High School Einstein equations don't work at large scale?

    Can you cite credible technical references that promote this view and propose alternatives invoking "physical pressure in a medium"? "Broken" conventional cosmology of the universe is not set in "empty space" since it's filled with both a negative-pressure fluid (vacuum energy) as well as a...

    Can a Higgs Field Gradient Produce a Force?

    Can you clarify your response? You mention gauge bosons (spin-1), but Higgs bosons are massive scalar (spin 0) particles which, to my understanding, always give rise to an attractive gradient force, just as in the original nuclear binding model of Yukawa based on the exchange of massive pions.

    Can a Higgs Field Gradient Produce a Force?

    I certainly agree with you regarding the Higgs VEV. In my defense, my post was written in response to the title of the thread: "Can a Higgs Field Gradient Produce a Force?" (italics added by me). Clearly the answer is yes.

    Huh??? This image is explicitly labeled "AI content" and ZeroGPT gives the response: So what's the point of posting it?

    Can a Higgs Field Gradient Produce a Force?

    Actually, by its very construction the standard model incorporates an ultra-short-distance Yukawa force between leptons and quarks arising from the exchange of virtual Higgs bosons. See, for example Probing Atomic Higgs-like Forces at the Precision Frontier: The characteristic range distance of...

    Undergrad Are annulled gravitational fields detectable?

    The physics of planar mass slabs is much more involved (and "weird"!) in general relativity as compared to Newtonian gravity. For example, see: Infinite slabs and other weird plane symmetric space-times with constant positive density But the author points out that, under specialized conditions...

    Undergrad What are the Implications of this thought I had?

    Please define what it means to be "infinitely closer", as compared to just being "closer".

    Graduate Questions on Quantum Gravity Corrections to Cosmological Entropy

    A few moments of Google searching finds this recent preprint: Cosmology with Logarithmic Corrected Horizon Entropy According to the Generalized Entropy and Variable-G Correspondence It cites many references that may help you answer your question.

    Undergrad Are annulled gravitational fields detectable?

    Are you asking about Newton's gravity or Einstein's (general relativity)?

    Graduate Prof. Chike Obi, Reviewer F. Beukers's Review Problem

    After a bit of googling, I find that Obi's paper is: Fermat's last theorem, Algebras, Groups, and Geometries, 15 (1998), no. 3, pp. 289-298. This is a rather obscure journal published by Hadronic Press in Florida, but the publisher's website doesn't offer any way that I can see to order a...

    Graduate Looking for a mathematically rigorous definition of a Quantum Field

    You should look at the 4 Wightman axioms W0-W3 and their consequences, as summarized for example here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wightman_axioms

    Graduate Are mass, particles, and fields fundamental?

    What is the "mass" that "makes", for example, the electromagnetic field? Please be specific.

    Undergrad A deep discrepancy between the classical and quantum models of ##L##

    It is not true that ##\psi## is a free-particle wavefunction just because ##\hat{H},\hat{L}^2,\hat{L}_z## commute when acting on ##\psi##. An obvious counterexample is the hydrogen atom, wherein the electron is bound to a proton: (https://people.chem.ucsb.edu/metiu/horia/OldFiles/QM2015/Ch11QM.pdf)
