In comics, Captain America's shield can absorb an incredible amount of kinetic energy from impacts (if not all of it) because of its vibranium makeup. That is why he can block hits from super-strong beings like Hulk without any damage done to him or him going backwards. But when he throws the...

I am starting Number Theory this semester. My professor hands out notes but there is no textbook for the class. So hopefully you guys can help me with these seemingly easy problems. Z = {...,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,...} Z is used to denote the set of integers 1) Show that if a is an...

OK, I understand, mostly, about isotope differences. What I don't get is why Helium-3 is considered a fermion, and Helium-4 is considered a boson. Why is this, and what possible effects does this have? Some explanation on what defines bosons and fermions would also be useful.

In string theory, what are the fundamental properties of a string? Is the tension in the string a constant at all points on the string and the same in all strings? Is the string "labelled" with fields/spin/etc along its length? How about "velocity"? Is each 'bit' of the string labelled with...

Let's say you have a vision of a material with certain special types of properties. How would I know what the chemical structure and components of that material would be? Is there some way to at least estimate what the chemical structure would be, and its a matter of guess and check? Does it...

Hi all, I have quite basic questions about the general properties of operators in quantum field theory. When quantizing the free scalar field, for instance, you promote the classical fields to operators and impose suitable commutation relations (canonical quantization). In momentum space the...

Hi, I've been studying from Spivak's Calculus. Normally when I have trouble I can just search, but this time I can't find anything (you can tell how extensive this forum is in that I've been registered here for a while and this is my first post). On page 89, the book gives proof of the...

Hi all, I was wondering if someone can explain to me whether: 1) Superconductors are attracted to originally unmagnetised ferromagnetic or paramagnetic materials? AIUI superconductors are perfect diamagnets due to the Meisnner Effect, and magnetic attraction is due to the creation of...

I am looking for results which provides the homology and homotopy groups from some property of the space. For instance, if a space X is contractible then H_0(X)=\mathbb{Z} and H_n(X)=0 if n\neq 0. Another example is the Eilenberg MacLane spaces K(\pi,n) where \pi_n(K(\pi,n))=\pi and...

From what I understand of GR, time dilates due to the gravity of massive bodies. I like to think of it as the three coordinates of space drag, or lag, through time at a slower rate resulting in distortion of space-time. Correct me if my logic is flawed. But my question is this; why do bodies...

...are fascinating. At least I think so. Sine and cosine are the additive inverses of their respective second derivatives, for example. Astonishing! Are there any other startling properties of trig functions (not inverse trigs) that would just blow my mind? Somewhere in the beautiful...

Hello I have been wondering for some time about, why I have to use orthogonality properties in a special kind of PDE problem I have encountered a few times now. As an example see exercise 13-3 in this file: http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s072258/01246-2009-week13.pdf" I have described my...

Let A be the adjacency matrix of some graph G. I am aware that A^n counts paths of length n between vertices of G, and that for graphs without cycles and non-singular A, (I-A)^-1 counts the total number of paths between vertices of G (correct me if any of this is wrong).This is a very...

Hi there, First post here, kinda feel as though my hand should be raised as I have a question. The questions are ... How much force could a bimetallic strip exert when heated? Would it matter how thick the strip was? Thanks for answering.

I have been trying to picture the whole process of a photon emission by a atom. So to have good understanding what is going on, I have came up with following experimental setup. A single hydrogen atom in excited state ^2\!P_{1/2}, which has been orientated with a magnetic field so that...
