Quantum physics raises measurement as central. And possibly fundamental. Not "matter"(whatever it is). Or energy. They come later. -
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Energy is a conserved quantity associated with time-translation invariance of action (certain integral of lagrangian). That's general...
-
Energy is not the ability to do work in quantum physics but the property to change how states change over time. Measurement gives...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.It does not, not in the sense "interpretation of QM" is understood here.
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.It is VERY far off, and one need only very basic understanding of physics to see that. Energy has a very specific definition (do you...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.This subforum is about QM interpretations, and it does not mean what you think it means. Philosophy is in general forbidden topic here...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.It's not classical. It's the only perspective in physics, both in quantum and classical. I don't know what you mean, but it's not...
-
Electromagnetic radiation is energy. And is not a property of matter. Whatever matter is, calling energy a property of matter might be...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.No! It's not energy. Energy is a PROPERTY of EM radiation. One of many. Energy is property of things, not thing itself. @PhyEnthusiast...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Or the fields in general.
-
Mass and energy are properties of matter (and of antimatter). Matter also has charge, spin and other properties, like colour charge etc.
-
I would have said: matter is simply condensed energy. You might run into minor problems with this defintion because of energy-mass...

weirdoguy reacted to akhmeteli's post in the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool? with
Skeptical.
Again, I don't see how the difference between "field" and "wave function" is problematic in the context of this thread. Obviously... -
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Whatever "matter" means, for sure energy is a property of matter, not matter itself.

weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Our Mathematical Universe book -- Since when does light contain voltage?.One thing, because I think that is your main issue - voltage is not a property of electrical current per se (e.g. flow of electrons in...
