Roberto Pavani's latest activity
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.Just a small note: von Neumann was actually very interested in the foundations of QM (collapse postulate, hidden variables proof, etc.)... -
Where in the world did you even get this from?

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad Why ##a^0=1##?.Equation 1 has no solution: ##2^x > 0## for all ##x \in \mathbb{R}##. The only "value" satisfying ##2^x = 0## is ##x = -\infty##, which...

Roberto Pavani reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Do you 'see' the CMB map as a 3D glass sphere/ellipsoid? with
Like.
It's easy for me to imagine that green/yellow/red is foreground facing "out" and the light/dark blues are a view of the background... -
Roberto Pavani posted the thread Do you 'see' the CMB map as a 3D glass sphere/ellipsoid? in General Discussion.When I look at the standard Mollweide projection of the CMB, after a few seconds my brain seems to "un-project" it into a 3D object, as...

Roberto Pavani reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad FLRW metric challenged, Einstein-Euler equations as alternative? with Like.
The universe is certainly not strictly isotropic. Even around us, the cmb has fluctuations. My statement was about the mathematics and...

Thank you; I have downloaded it from arXiv.

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad FLRW metric challenged, Einstein-Euler equations as alternative?.No, I was thinking of Buchert's original paper (gr-qc/9906015). I might be oversimplifying things though, I'm not an expert on this.

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad FLRW metric challenged, Einstein-Euler equations as alternative?.Interesting point, but I'm not sure this is the only possibility. What about the Buchert averaging stuff? If I understand it...

Roberto Pavani reacted to kuruman's post in the thread High School Does this equation (Einstein’s field equations in general relativity) equal 12? with
Haha.
The girl got it wrong. Actually, the answer is 42. See https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(answer) -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread High School Is it possible for matter to be completely destroyed to nothingness.(high school answer): You can break matter down as far as a proton + electron + photon + neutrino plasma, that's the simplest form. You...

Roberto Pavani reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread High School The One Electron Universe suggested by Wheeler with Like.
Maybe the 1-electron universe was simply a stepping stone for Wheeler to get to the 0-electron universe haha. Charge without charge...

Roberto Pavani reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread High School The One Electron Universe suggested by Wheeler with Like.
Unfortunately, as I've already pointed out, it's often confused with modeling antiparticles as particles with arrows in Feynman diagrams...

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread High School The One Electron Universe suggested by Wheeler.I'm not sure I fully understand the one-electron hypothesis, so please correct me if I'm wrong. What I understand is: Under CPT, at...

Roberto Pavani reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread Graduate Universal quantum physics with Like.
Any relativistic quantum field theory needs an underlying globally hyperbolic manifold.
