weirdoguy reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Like.
What do you mean by "highest level"? QFT and GR both form our fundamental understanding of physics. Creation operators are a... -
weirdoguy reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
Systems are not made of energy. Energy is a property of systems. It would be like saying apples are made of redness.

Skeptical.
FWIW, this seems right to me. It seems to me the term "information" is another anthromorphic term (like "observer" and even... -
weirdoguy reacted to selfsimilar's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Skeptical.
So ultimately everything is made of energy, no energy no particle, QFT tell us so. What is the substance of energy or at least what is...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.No! Energy is not a thing, it's a property of things! And there are other properties, like momentum. Why don't anyone says "everything...

weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with Like.
@aletheia I have deleted some comments in two of your posts complaining about what you're not allowed to post here. Any further such...

If you know the answer, why do you need an online calculator?

weirdoguy reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Undergrad How to find the sum of this series? with Like.
This is related to the Basel Problem. Starting from there, you can separate the odd and even terms, then note that the even terms are...

weirdoguy reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread How good is Brian Cox as a science communicator? with
Love.
In general I find Brian Cox unimpressive and boring. -
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.For massless fields with spin 1 or more, we can't construct position operator, so one can't think about photons traveling along any path...

One of the things that sparks public skepticism is when scientists with expertise in one area use their authority to make pronouncements...

weirdoguy reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference? with Like.
The Motivation Spurred by some interesting back and forth with @PeterDonis in a recent forum thread, I present here my attempt to answer...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.It has been discarded from modern quantum physics a long time ago (even though pop-science still talks about it). It has been discussed...

weirdoguy reacted to aletheia's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with Skeptical.
If you really think my problem is “basic math”, then it’s on you — for not understanding it and for this passive-aggressive argument...

weirdoguy reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread How good is Brian Cox as a science communicator? with Skeptical.
If you have any counterexamples to the accepted mathematical axioms, please let us know. Pure math is pure until it is used; then it is...
