weirdoguy reacted to wrobel's post in the thread Graduate On a paper by Udwadia and Kalaba with
Like.
There is a highly ambitious article by Udwadia and Kalaba: article . To explain their main point, I will first recall the... -
weirdoguy reacted to bhobba's post in the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space? with Like.
The whole issue of virtual particles and vacuum fluctuations being real is complicated, with many experts (including me, not that I am...

There is what is called the quantum EM field that permeates all space. Heuristically (i.e., not true but adds some intuition), a photon...

weirdoguy reacted to pinball1970's post in the thread Undergrad LHC To Announce Its Lepton Universality Violation Results On Tuesday (20-Dec-2022) with Like.
Plenty of guys on here will explain it better like @Ibix or @PeroK I will add that the scientists of the time did not expect light to...

weirdoguy reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
I don't view it that way. Energy as a concept is quite well defined and precise within each physical theory. Indeed that definition...

weirdoguy reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
Disabusing people of notions like everything is made of energy is well within the wheelhouse of physicists.

weirdoguy reacted to Roberto Pavani's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Skeptical.
is probably a Pandora's box better left closed. Physics is very good at defining how energy is calculated and what role it plays in a... -
Mechanics is an inherently nonlinear science with plenty of counterintuitive effects. I believe that trying to explain everything on...

weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with Like.
So far, it doesn't appear that anyone in this thread but you understands whatever issue you think you're asking about. If you can't...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Sigh... Why on earth, after so many posts about what energy is, you decide to write this nonsense? Why did you ignore everything we said...

weirdoguy reacted to jeffn1's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Sad.
A fundamental "particle" is an excitation in its quantum field. An excitation in a quantum field is energy. I don't think you can... -
weirdoguy reacted to Averagesupernova's post in the thread Undergrad "Is Kirchoff really for the birds?" with Like.
@Muu9 there are a handful of threads here from previous years that talk about the so-called Lewin paradox. I posted quite a lot in one...
-
weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Again, energy is one of many of particles properties! As others have said, it does not work the way you think, but even if it did, those...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Undergrad LHC To Announce Its Lepton Universality Violation Results On Tuesday (20-Dec-2022).They can in principle, but they were not in any experiment done to date. And we see no reason for them to be broken. What's your point...

weirdoguy reacted to selfsimilar's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Skeptical.
To all above Ordinarily yes we look at energy as a property and an accounting system more or less. But at the...
