Uniqueness and origin of physics theorems

AI Thread Summary
Concerns about the uniqueness of certain physics equations arise from the removal of integrals and vector operations in proofs. The discussion highlights how manipulating equations like ∇·E = ρ/ε and ∇×E = ∂B/∂t leads to critical relationships between electric fields and potentials. It questions the validity of established theorems, such as Gauss's law and wave-particle duality, if foundational assumptions are incorrect. The implications of these proofs suggest that if uniqueness fails, the reliability of current physics equations could be compromised. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for rigorous proofs in theoretical physics.

After studying some of the proofs of equations, worries arises about their uniqueness.
1.Removal of integral
∫∇.Edτ = ∫(ρ/ε)dτ
→∇.E = Q/ε

2.Removal of (∇X)
∇XE = ∂B/∂t = ∂(∇XA)/∂t
→∇X(E+∂A/∂t)=0
→E+∂A/∂t=-∇V
→E=-∇V-∂A/∂t

Origin -
Certain physics equations/theorems have no (discrete physical/mathematical) proof, or my knowledge is not board enough.
1.F = dp/dt
2.E = F.s
3.Wave-particle duality
4.c (speed of light) is ALWAYS the same for ALL observers

Wouldn't the current theorems fail if the uniqueness fails/assumptions are not correct?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
you can derive gauss law using maxwell fourth eqn and continuity eqn.
c2(∇×B)=j/ε0+∂E/∂t
taking the divergence of it and using ∇.j=-∂ρ/∂t one gets
∇.E=ρ/ε0
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
