    String treatment of the quantum graphity model

    Hi all, I recently read about the quantum graphity model that was proposed by Lee Smolin et. al. The model had some really nice features but can anyone tell me if a similar string based model has been proposed? I know that string net condensation does something similar but has a full model...

    Medical What are the equations for ionisation density and range in cancer treatment?

    Hi, i was reading a book that said that the ionisation density in the body is directly proportional to the square of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the speed and also that the range (for a particles of the same velocity) is is proportional to the mass, and inversely...

    The treatment of errors and uncertainties?

    I am confused over how to work with errors and uncertainties. So far when dealing with a small number of measurements I have used the partial derivative method to calculate the final error in my result e.g. if my result is E=mgh \text{ then assuming no error in g my uncertainty is }...

    Wondering about the particle treatment of light?

    This question might not even make sense but here goes, it's is about the particle nature of light. As I understand it we can take a sine wave extending throughout all space and add to it others of different wavelength, and we see the the phase differences causing the amplitude to decrease as we...

    Different treatment of E and B field in Brewster angle derivation

    Why does the Brewster angle phenomena happen only when the electric field vector lies in the plane of incidence (the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to that plane) but not when the magnetic vector field lies in the plane of incidence (now the electric field is perpendicular to that plane)?

    A mathematically rigorous treatment of adiabatic processes?

    If a quantum system is subjected to a time dependent Hamiltonian with one parameter lambda, then its entropy does not change provided lambda is changed slowly enough between two values. How can this be proved rigorously? The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_theorem" is not enough, since...
