Unmesh Kamle: 17 Year Old Discussing Potential Wells and Supersymmetry

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the interests of a 17-year-old participant, Unmesh Kamle, who is exploring concepts related to potential wells, supersymmetry, M-theory, relativistic mechanics, and Chandrasekhar's limit. The scope includes theoretical physics and personal experiences in studying these topics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Unmesh expresses a desire to discuss potential wells and their implications for electrons, as well as his interest in supersymmetry and related theories.
  • Some participants acknowledge the diversity of ages in the forum, indicating that younger members are welcome and capable of contributing meaningfully.
  • A participant suggests studying the double Morse potential as a practical example, noting its application in modeling car wax and proposing numerical solutions to the Schrödinger equation.
  • There is curiosity about Unmesh's future plans in physics, indicating an interest in his academic trajectory.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the inclusivity of the forum regarding age and understanding of physics. However, there is no consensus on specific topics or approaches to the concepts raised by Unmesh, as the discussion remains open-ended.

Contextual Notes

Unmesh's inquiry includes a variety of advanced topics, and the discussion does not resolve the complexities or assumptions inherent in these areas. The mention of specific models and theories does not imply a shared understanding or agreement on their implications.

My name is Unmesh Kamle. I have just passed high school and began reading about Potential wells and about electrons trapped inside them (from Resnick Halliday Krane). I m also reading about Supersymmetry. I m new member on this discussion forum. Could somebody reply to this message so that I can discuss my ideas with them. I m 17 yrs. old. You would think I m too young to understand anything. But I m quite comfortable with calculus and higher algebra. I come from India and Physics is all calculus based here.

I would like to discuss about M-theory, potential wells, relativistic mechanics, chandreshekhar's limit etc..

Heck I'm 17 too. I know people that are even younger. People of all ages are welcome here. :wink:
 
Here's a good potential well to study: The double Morse potential. It is shaped like a bowl with a hump in it. It is used to model car wax, since the active ingredient in car wax (potassium di-hydrogen phosphate -- KDP) has such a potential shape. You could use a tool like Mathematica to solve the Schroedinger equation numerically, then compare the energy levels with experiment. COOOL project. (One that I have done.)
 
Sounds interesting Unmesh. So do you plan to pursue physics in future?

I just did.

Im 18, so i don't think 17 is too young to understand anything.
 
I think he mentioned it because he thinks most PF contributors/members are "old" :-p (not to be taken too seriously)
