The solutions manual said, "It's trivial. Develop new mathematical tools and construct the theory." I don't really get it :*([/B]

Sounds like the author of the solutions manual has a perverted sense of humor. :rolleyes:
 
Yes, I agree with SteamKing.
However I am thinking that if the problem is "true" the question induces to think that the two theories aren't still joined.
Why? Perhaps they are based upon two different mathematical methods and so they aren't conciliable?
What can couple them ? May be the same mathematical language?
Try to check before to give an aswer if you can have informations about gravity and quantum theory and their mathematics.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
