The discussion centers on seeking online resources about the Bianchi identity related to p-form fields, specifically the equation dF=0. The inquiry includes a desire to understand the physical implications of a violated Bianchi identity. A recommended resource for further reading is the book "Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity" by John Baez. This source is suggested as a comprehensive reference for the topic. Understanding the Bianchi identity is crucial for exploring its applications in theoretical physics.

Dear All
Does anyone have an online (preferably) source on the Bianchi identity
on p-form fields (dF=0)? I would like to read more on the various
cases, particularly the physical meaning of a violated Bianchi
identity.
Thanks ...

Dear Moataz,

I think the best place for this is the book "Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity" by John Baez.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
