I was reading a discussion where some physicists participated* where the topic of Lorentz invariance violations occurring in cosmology is mentioned.
There, they mention that we can imagine a Lorentz-violating solution to the cosmological equations. What do they mean by that? Can anyone specify...
Hi,
I want to try to solve this puzzle in my head.
They say that faster than c travel would break causality. And yet particles can travel through a medium faster than light can in that medium. But surely if that can happen then a particle can arrive at a place faster than information about the...
Is there a net gain (in knowledge and memory) if I study physics for 30 minutes then take a say, 10 minute break vs working for 40 minutes?
Many thanks!
I'm reading this article about quantum entanglement, and the author writes about a process in a Raman transition which would break the entanglement, and I'm interested about how it breaks the entanglement.
So the passage which I'm interested in begins with: "The answer is to do an operation...
Hello, I would like to confirm my answers to the following random variables question. Would anyone be willing to provide feedback and see if I'm on the right track? Thank you in advance.
My attempt:
At break
Tx=ma
a(initial)=Tx/pi.r^2.density
After break
Ix=m/12.(3r^2+h^2)
Iy=same as above
Iz=mr^2/2T(inertia)=Iz/a=mr^2/a=0at 1 second
delta L=v(initial).delta t+1/2at^2
=1/2a(1)^2
=a/2T(inertia)=[(a/2)(pi.r^2)(density)r^2]/a

If the Universe could somehow reach a state of infinite entropy (or at least a state of extremely high entropy), would all fundamental symmetries of the physical laws (gauge symmetries, Lorentz symmetry, CPT symmetry, symmetries linked to conservation principles...etc) fail to hold or be...
I was doing some research into quantum entanglement but it is never well described how you break the bonds once they are formed does anyone have any expertise in this area on how to break quantum entanglement bonds? The best that I can understand is the bond is broken when interaction with the...
I am not sure where to start for this. Considering it needs to be demonstrate Balmer Break, I am assuming it needs to be wavelength based. As a result I am assuming I cannot use mean (Kramers) Opacity but rather express in terms of Opacity k= n*sigma/rho.
My thoughts are to use Boltzmann...
Hi All,
My question is in relation to forces that can come through movement. For example, the skull is stated to take around 520 pounds of force or around 2000N:

Hello, so to give some background context to my question, I was playing around with thought puzzles in my head about the many-worlds interpretation of quantum and the notion that all possible variants would come about. I ended up arriving at a place where I wondered if it were possible for the...

P1/V1/T1 = P2 V2 /T2 is derived from the ideal gas equation. However it is stated that this equation breaks down at very high pressures and at very low temperatures. Does anyone know what kind of pressures and temperatures we are talking about here?

Here is one scenario:
I have placed a metal in my room which is at room temperature. Air has little much heat capacity and metals don't like to store heat. Would heat transfer occur? Whatif I set the temperature of both to a certain degree where it crosses heat capacity of metal but not of air?
I tried to solve The system of torque as following.
I labelled pulley one is the one in the left, and two as the one on the right.
α=a/R
t1=(-F+T1) R=MR^/2α. So -F+T=Ma/2
for pulley 2 (T1-T2)R=MR^2/2. So T1-T2=Ma/2
for The box T2-mg=ma
add the last two equation, to get that T1-mg=Ma/2+ma...

Here is an attempt to make bohmian mechanics compatible with string theory. It posits that T duality breaks at the fundamental level, and that the is no minimal length in the theory. Does this proposal make sense?
Well, the question is if the well known occupation distribution of the energy levels for fermions does break, which means when it is not valid anymore. The Fermi-Dirac distribution reads:
##\displaystyle f_{FD}(E)=\frac{1}{exp\left({\frac{E-\mu}{k_B T}}\right)+1}## And gives the occupation...
