What Does a Chemist Have to Say? Borek's PF Insights Post
The red shifted galaxy is the most brilliant piece of writing I have read recently. Not sure if that speaks to my recent taste in literature or your skill. But kudos nevertheless. Thoroughly enjoyable interview!- UncertaintyAjay

Undergrad Current Growth due to Magnetic Induction
Right. My bad. Yes I do know Faraday's law- rate of change of magnetic flux is the negative of induced emf. So basically, if I increase the rate at which flux through the solenoid increases or decreases, the induced emf is higher. So if you move a magnet towards or away from a solenoid, moving...- UncertaintyAjay

Undergrad Books and exercises to practice proofs
I do. The set of natural numbers,prime numbers, odd numbers, even numbers etc. are countably infinite. Real numbers, irrational numbers etc. are not. Edit: Sets like "Natural numbers less than 10" are countable. Just not countably infinite. Uncountable sets are ones where you cannot create a...- UncertaintyAjay

Undergrad Books and exercises to practice proofs
I assume this is for x and r both belonging to real numbers?Assume the above statement to be true. Then for any element of the set S {r:r>0} there must be another element smaller than it. I.e there is no smallest element of S.( Now i am a bit stuck, I know that there is no smallest element in...- UncertaintyAjay

Undergrad Books and exercises to practice proofs
Yeah, I've done those. I am also familiar with a few proof strategies like induction and proof by contradiction but concepts are a bit hazy. Any recommendations for books?- UncertaintyAjay

Graduate How do physicists measure electron position if the wavefunction is everywhere?
How? What's your logic? This is moving into realms that I know not of. All i know is what I said about the uncertainty principle.- UncertaintyAjay

The article does not say wavelength contains all the possible positions of an object. That's the difference. ( Sorry if I'm sounding a bit brusque. Not intentional.)- UncertaintyAjay

Link please. The hyperphysics page does not say what I have quoted you as saying. It says that you cannot see evidence of their wave nature. That is different to saying that "because the wavelength of macroscopic objects is small that they are almost exactly where we see them." Also the...- UncertaintyAjay
