weirdoguy replied to the thread Electric field due to arc shaped thin rod.##Rcos\theta## is x component of vector ##\vec{r}## not ##d\vec{E}##, where by ##\vec{r}## i mean vector that starts at the origin, and... -
weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Understanding the historical shift away from absolute simultaneity with
Like.
That's out of bounds here. We can't discuss imagined theories. We can only discuss theories that have actually been published in the... -
weirdoguy reacted to DaveC426913's post in the thread Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined with
Sad.
OK. I give up. It seems as if to enact even the slightest change and accommodate a wider audience, apparently it will require PF to... -
Your name here, renormalize, holds the key, as I think you probably know. In QFT, early on, there was a deep problem. We kept getting...
-
An effective theory is one that is admitted to not be fundamental. Or, if you insist on a definition that doesn't use either of those...

You miss the point of why I started this thread. Particles are not fundamental; they emerge from fields. For fields, the question is...

weirdoguy replied to the thread A Is the constancy of c a postulate or a derivable theorem?.Yes. Actually that was the way I was taught relativity at my uni. But it's less standard to do so and I guess more suitable for someone...

That's correct. And yet your post #8 does exactly that, as you confirm in your post #10. Therefore, this thread will remain closed.

But do we have any actual evidence that underlining links promotes accessibility? I support the goal, but I am not convinced that this...

weirdoguy reacted to Dale's post in the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation? with Like.
After a very brief discussion among the mentors, we will leave this thread closed. As @weirdoguy mentioned, we have shown how the math...

Thread closed for moderation.

weirdoguy replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.And people pointed MULTIPLE TIMES how to resolve your problem. You did nothing with that. In the end, experiments falsify your point of...

weirdoguy reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Like.
I've nothing to add to the responses given in Posts #66 through #73.

weirdoguy replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.I've been teaching physics since 2008, and I've spent 5 hard years becoming a physicist. We all here thought about these questions...

weirdoguy replied to the thread B What reference frame is used for the velocity v in the Lorentz transformation?.Yes, because that's how reality/universe works. It's you that have problem with reality, because it does not work the way you want it to.
