Graduate Why is the Wave Function Central to Quantum Theory's Physical Interpretation?
I do not have a lot of knowledge in this, but OP's question seems pretty direct. What I was thinking the initial question was like "could exist an equivalent of schroedingers equation with the born rule 'already applied'?" he mentioned "absolute of it squared", and that's a probability density...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Describing polarization of a coheret state parametrizing on poincare sphere
Just a comment: There are some questions that pass unanswered for hidden reasons. Some suggest they don't answer it for being pointless. I'm always suspicious when this happens, because this is not consistent with the behavious of these same people when faced with other questions...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Fock spaces semantics and number of particles
Ok, its (c, H, S(HxH), S(HxHxH), ... ) where S is a symmetrizing or anti-symmetrizing according to the particle type. Its impossible to edut. This answer helps me(Lubos's) http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/30751/what-is-the-single-particle-hilbert-space So the "Hilber space for a...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Fock spaces semantics and number of particles
Ok, so let {|a>, |b>,|c>} be a base of vectors for describing position in space and time and |psi>=|b>+|c> be the wavefunction of a particle. What is the "particles Hilbert space" in this case?- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Fock spaces semantics and number of particles
I was not formally introduced to this math, so I appreciate corrections but I'll give my impressions. The fock space for a particle with space H is (c, H, HxH, HxHxH, ... ) 1: What is a hilbert space for a single particle? I believe know what a hilbert space is, but for 'a particle'...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Uncovering the Overshadowed Contributions of Newton to Fluid Mechanics
What is the "cost" of citing it? You seem to suggest that showing examples of how building and refuting models is like has no didactic value. I totally disagree, at least when it comes to students majoring in physics. They could be optional subject but even a quick pass on them would be of...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Uncovering the Overshadowed Contributions of Newton to Fluid Mechanics
Anyway, I have the impression that some of these original books gives us some ideas about how all the dirty guess work behind science really is. I've noticed that professors usually just bash simple and mundane constructs to made by students to model phenomena(not as if discovering a new...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Uncovering the Overshadowed Contributions of Newton to Fluid Mechanics
In my 'physics 2' It wasn't even mentioned Newtons treatment on fluids, something the seemed to repeat everywhere. After a while I decide to read Principia and I was amazed by how Newton modeled things by very simple(although often very lengthy), intuitive and powerful arguments(a...- TheBlackNinja

Graduate Uncovering the Overshadowed Contributions of Newton to Fluid Mechanics
Why is Newton's work on fluids rarely cited? And when cited it is not usually credited. Even If they called it a 'Newtonian fluid" they don't bother telling everything Newton did.- TheBlackNinja

Undergrad How Does Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation Affect Our Sensations of Force?
Because he told that if you're not "feeling" a force, then there is no force acting on you.- TheBlackNinja

He made an explicit association between force and feeling.Whatever he was trying to say he was wrong, I think.- TheBlackNinja
