weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.If there exists some deeper common framework one can ask the same question: what is it that allows this deeper common framework to exist...

weirdoguy reacted to haruspex's post in the thread High School Why the bottom of a rolling wheel has zero velocity with Like.
To put it more rigorously, if two bodies are wholly or partly in rolling contact then at each instant a point on one body that is in...

weirdoguy replied to the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity?.Well, I read one book on history of QM (Duncan, part 1) and I don't know how non physicist could understand any of it.

weirdoguy reacted to Dale's post in the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity? with
Agree.
My “aha moment” came when I drew my first spacetime diagram complete with coordinate lines for both frames via the Lorentz transform... -
weirdoguy reacted to DEvens's post in the thread How good is Brian Cox as a science communicator? with Like.
My problem with Cox is that during any talk he gives you can pretty much count on him turning to the audience and confidently...

weirdoguy reacted to martinbn's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
The fields could be the fundamental entities. They wouldn't be made of anything else. Why is it a problem to have many fields in the...

weirdoguy reacted to Mark44's post in the thread Pursuing a general science degree while intimidated by advanced physics and maths texts with Like.
Your parents might not be so happy, though...
-
weirdoguy reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread High School Why simplifying this function generates different outputs for same input? with Like.
Correct simplification includes keeping track of where the original function was undefined.

weirdoguy reacted to XuYi8888's post in the thread Graduate Does a Particle's Identity Have a Physical Cost? with
Sad.
My question is: Does maintaining a particle's intrinsic identity require a continuous, irreducible physical cost? I have been thinking... -
weirdoguy reacted to Mike_bb's post in the thread Undergrad Homogeneity of space and time in Landau & Lifshitz with Sad.
In other source "homogeneity of space and time" means homogeneity of space and homogeneity of time. Not a spacetime.

weirdoguy reacted to hokhani's post in the thread Undergrad Momentum measurement and uncertainty with
Skeptical.
To resolve this problem, Born-Von-Karman boundary conditions is used. -
weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Momentum measurement and uncertainty with Skeptical.
"Uncertainty" as in the uncertainty principle is not even about the variance of a large number of measurements of a single observable...
