Hi all. I apologize in advance for the long post, but I can't really relate to many people and am hoping you all can offer some invaluable advice. I've recently been enjoying being alone, doing absolutely nothing a lot more than being with others. I had a group of friends throughout middle...

This is a great forum! It was recommended to me by a friend on baut. Much more interesting tho from first impressions. (Sorry if there's a thread to enter on, I couldn't find it). Hi all!

I do not know if works the same everywhere, but as a freshman in university I am really new to this. My professor gives us assignments, even-numbered assignments, on our homework. Now being the youngest person in my class and not knowing anyone is a disadvantage. Because those assignments my...

Hi, I keep confusing myself between decoherence and the transition from pure to mixed, both of which, as far as I know, come about due to the interaction of a system with the environment. I like to think about things in terms of the density matrix to get it solid in my head. Can someone...

hi, i have a question about "Gravitons" do gravitons exist? I'm wondering what is gravity made up of. as they say light is made up of photons, then what is gravity made up of? or is it only that fabric of space-time that takes place here?

Hi. Say we want to parametrize the plane R^2. This can be done for example using (x,y) cartesian, i.e. a pair of intersecting lines, OR (r,theta) polar coordinates, i.e. a half line intersecting a circle. But it cannot be done using (x,r) coordinates, i.e. a line intersecting a circle, because...

Hi everyone, is 'X' be capitalized in 'x-ray'? i noticed in physics journals, for e.g., in phys. rev. lett., it is not capitalized! which is correct ?? or just it is a matter of personal taste? actually a silly doubt thanks for replying

Hi ,new here and have a question! :) Hi all.. ok I am trying to teach my self the best way i can about flight physics. I am an avid avation fan and have been for a long time, i fly planes my self as well as RC planes / helicopters so I am not entirely new to them, but true physics of flight is...

Hiya. I've gotten behind in physics lately. Disturbingly so, in fact. I just can't stand how little I know, so I've recently undertaken the task of educating myself using Wikipedia, but it's terribly hard. I may have misinterpreted some things, and some things don't make much sense at all, so...
