Undergrad Getting back Maxwell's vector equations from their spinor version

Announcement PF Style 2026
I can appreciate managing "cognitive load". It's overwhelming when it's too much.... too many signals, with a lot of background noise. Right now, it feels underwhelming.... too few signals in a vacuum. Under Browse by field, I'm glad the latest-updated thread is back. I wish there was a date...- robphy

One of the motivations for my "third column" suggestions above was that I feel like there is a lot of space where there could be more data. Many of the fonts are small and dim (as if I'm about to get an alert for low printer toner).- robphy

Some suggestions (assuming full-screen on a WIndows desktop): I think Latest activity's width should be shared with Today's signal so that this is immediately visible without having to scroll down the page, when logged in. It seems when not logged in, Today's signal is already near the top. I...- robphy

History Biographies, History, Philosophy of Physics
This arxiv-document is based on Mermin's "Light Rectangles", where the area of causal-diamonds is proportional to the square-interval between opposite corners. It's unfortunate it makes numerous references to Euclidean geometry and uses circular-trigonometry to analyze the figures. [Mermin does...- robphy

Metal, Rock, Instrumental Rock and Fusion
Over the last 8 years or so, I've been seeking new young rock/metal guitarists (with the help of YouTube) from what would typically be considered surprising places [like my recent post in the covers thread: Nene Royal #2505 ]. I’m glad that some have gotten to go play here in the US and gain... -
