    Is it Possible to Have Fallen Too Far Behind in Math?

    Einstein wasn't very good at math and had his girlfriend do his physics math as an undergraduate, while others did it for him when advancing Maxwells theory of relativity. You can evidently be bad at math and still do physics. I don't have a girlfriend though;(

    How does the expansion of space affect the direction of time?

    What area would this be classified under in Astrophysics? That is; space, objects and motions?.. Not just the particles, and not just motion, but also space and time. The link was quite interesting!

    How does the expansion of space affect the direction of time?

    Some adhere to the Hawking theory - time being the product of our brains, simply. That there is no Newtonian "ticking clock" for the universe progression. Could time truly exist without objects? What do current astrophysicist/astronomers have to say about this? Could you ever get indirect...

    Is determinism truly at play in this scenario?

    But I don't see why anyone would be a determinist about inanimate nature, but not our own behavior. Superdeterminism appear to follow automatically. The universe is the same for each and every moving subject.

    Is determinism truly at play in this scenario?

    Laplace demon, is for an example, explicitly fatalistic.

    Is determinism truly at play in this scenario?

    Determinism is, by most definitions fatalistic. The influencing of things is a deterministic process in and of itself. Nothing goes by the physical processes, it's a domino effect. I hold to the view, similar to Einstein and stephen Hawking, that (at least after) the big bang, all future...

    Is determinism truly at play in this scenario?

    Taking to it's extreme, determinism would seem to require irrationality. Suppose that I live in a deterministic universe, all events being determined, experiments, brain states, cosmology and so forth. Suppose further that I possesses psychic abilities(perfectly possible in a...

    Is determinism truly at play in this scenario?

    He does have a point. If the progression of the world is deterministic, including my brain states, then I must hold to beliefs, of which are false, IF that's what the deterministic process entailed. Determinisim and truth is an interesting question to ponder. However, the brain is determined in...

    The reason why travelling back in time is logically impossible.

    I suppose you mean that he will be physically predetermined to later go by time travel again.. and the event would unfold itself identically. It would probably result in a paradox, though. I don't have time to explore it at the moment. My logic course is hard as it is!

    The reason why travelling back in time is logically impossible.

    The third is the time traveler revisiting the future moment of seeing himself meeting his future self.

    Astrophysics in a quantum universe

    I was wondering a similar question, yet nobody answered. Can you write theoretical astrophysics papers focusing on quantum mechanics? Perhaps gravity can be brought into the speculations, like Penrose sugggested, to account for quantum phenomenons. Why does the study have to be at just stars...

    The reason why travelling back in time is logically impossible.

    Concider time travel as a hole and meeting yourself in the future(for argument sake): - the time traveler meeting himself in the future+ the time traveler going back in time and waiting for the moment of seeing himself, meet himself... The moment when the traveler going back in time has reached...

    Physics Theoretical Physicist: Qualifications & Job Opps

    Than theoretical physics. I thought such inferences were not too advanced for an advisor on a physics forum. Well, formal and predicate Logic is in the domain of philosophy departments. You seem to equate philosophy with religion. Yes, people do look at me and wonder what I do. That's because...

    Wow, input-output.
