@Simon: But we can never say with certainty where the particles are besides if the distances involved are large compared to particle size , say in meters then the attraction between them will be very small. @mfb: If the diameter to axial length ratio is large would it not reduce the chance of...

@ mfb: By changing the diameter and length of the cones can we not see to it (if MWI is correct) that we get electron-positron collisions most of the times? and if MWI if not correct we will get these collisions very rarely. I guess if we can keep the diameter to axial length ratio of the...

Simon, I am not a physicist, I am an engineer by profession and I just randomly read some deeper physics stuff (and) understand very little but that has never discouraged me ;) Yes I know QM is probabilistic by nature but MWI says all possibilities are realized (where do probabilities come...

I am not a believer in MWI, just had an idea I believe can provide some useful lead to prove/disprove it, I want to know if I am right in thinking so.

Yes I know the experiment will not tell me where the particles will interact and I also know that the collision will happen at a well defined point inside the volume of the two cones. I also know that these are particles but where they would be found is defined by a wave equation. My point was...

I have a question regarding the Many Worlds Interpretation(MWI) of quantum theory. Is there any proposed thought experiment that can/does provide some kind of solid/good proof for the MWI? I have an idea, an experiment and I am very curious about it's validity/soundness and the...

What I mean by ignoring the inequality is that in the relationship they simply take delta E*delta t = h/2, they use this for calculating the mass of pi meson in some textbooks, but the actual relationship is delta E*delta t >= h/2. so how can they simply ignore the '>' part of the relationship?

Just one more question, why do so many textbooks ignore the inequality in the relationship when finding the mass of the virtual particles? can they do that? Is it ok to ignore the inequality?

Also I have another question, in the time energy uncertainty relationship there is an inequality, I mean it is an inequality, so now my question is this , is the inequality just mathematical or does it have any importance in the physics of the process meaning can the inequality be ignored(...

@RedX : </i>then it has to borrow heavily to create a W, which means the W can only exist for a short time by the time-energy uncertainty principle, which means it can only travel a short distance before it turns into an electron and antineutrino:</i> But the time energy uncertainty principle...

Thanks a lot both of you!

Hmm. I could not understand the technical things that you mentioned but thanks a lot for mentioning about the vertices of the feynman diagram, if energy and momentum are conserved at the vertices then they ought to be conserved all along the internal as well as the external lines. Is this right?

Hi folks, I am new to physics forums , an engineer by profession, I have newly developed some interest for pure physics, can someone please enlighten me on the violation of energy conservation by the time energy UP? The way I understand it the principle only puts a LOWER bound. Is...
