    The new Hubble rate estimate of 74 means a new critical density.

    Around 1998 we got the estimate of 71 from Wendy Freedman's Hubble Space Telescope team. That was called the "key project" of the HST program and was one of the main reasons for HST. So much depends on it that it is important to keep trying to improve the accuracy. That 71 has stood for 10...

    Does renormalization means discarding corrections to a known constant?

    Dear experts, Does renormalization mean discarding corrections to a known constant? I mean, we assign a known value to the electron mass or charge, whatever, in the zeroth order of the perturbation theory, for example, in QED. In the next order we obtain a correction to this value (finite...

    Tunneling effect by means of the instantons

    I've recently find out that is possible to describe tunneling effect by means of the instantons. Of course there are other methods to compute the transmission probability (WKB for example), but the real utility of this technique is that it can be applied in Quantum Field Theory (and also in...

    No resultant force means no external force?

    Hmm. I'm quite confused with this: Does no resultant force means no external force? i.e. if there is an external force, there is a resultant force? Like say, sand falls onto a moving conveyor belt at the rate of 5.00 kg/s. The conveyor belt is supported by frictionless rollers and moves...

    Does Listening Mean Agreement or Mere Acknowledgment?

    To listen means you have to "acknowlege" or "agree" with what is being said, no? Do you think in the vast majority of cases that those who listen agree with what is being said, acknowledge it and move on? Or, do you think that those who do not listen well disagree a lot with what is being said?
