The reason why there are three gauge forces?
|
| |
I still have problems with Schiller's approach - but he seems to be on an interesting avenue for sure. He now has updated his arxiv manuscript. The new abstract is much bolder than before: [link] Deducing the three gauge interactions from the three Reidemeister moves Authors: Christoph Schiller... more »

Spin and Relativity.
|
| |
Dr. Francis posted in another thread, (qm). "Spin is not easy to understand, but it is clear that relativistic quantum mechanics both makes it necessary and defines its behaviour. I do not think this is such a problem. " To elaborate, my thinking follows...from the standpoint of GR. Some background: Absolute motion cannot exist since one... more »

Gravity and black holes

Thus spake David <posti...@REMOVE-TO-REPLYconfi dential-counselling.com> ...No, this is not right. A black hole does exert gravitational influence on its surroundings. Regards

‘If one wants to be clear about what is meant by “position of an object”, for example of an electron..., then one has to specify definite experiments by which the “position of an electron” can be measured; otherwise this term has no meaning at all’ (Heisenberg, 1927). What I don't get is that, since this goes back to 1927, and Stone's... more »

Quantum Field Theory: The Big, Simple Picture?
|
| |
I have been studying quantum field theory for about two years now, and for all the drama and encyclopedic tomes about quantum theory, it seems to me that there is really a very simple and clear line between classical and quantum theory, at least when one views QFT through the lens of Path Integration.... more »

Nothing special about Quantum Mechanics any more
|
| |
With the advent of Joy Christian's disproof of Bell's theorem [1-5] and coupled with Christoph Schiller's strand model of knots and tangles [6,7], I would have to say there is really not much left to disspell about any mysteries of quantum mechanics. It is simply what you use to predict the more random behavior of nature. And classical physics is... more »
