    Introducing the Model T time unit "Lizzie": key to H_infinity

    The Ford Model T, affectionately known as the Tin Lizzie, is thought to have been the first widely affordable/accessible automobile. Production of the Model T started in 1908. I'm looking for a cosmo-friendly time unit that is short enough to be real and familiar to all of us, but at least an...

    Is Isospin Conversation Required In The Standard Model?

    A new experimental result from BESIII finds that there is isospin violation in the decays of J/Psi mesons in a path involving scalar mesons (with a narrow width in tension with world averages) and notes that a previous experiment found isospin violation in another decay chain...

    Can we model classical world using quantum laws?

    In QM there is no cloning theorem that says "we can't clone or erase quantum state". But in classical macro world we can copy information and erase it. If we should describe classical information as a very complex quantum state then we shouldn't be able to copy or erase it, right? And obviously...

    From Aeon to Zeon to Zeit, simplifying the standard cosmic model

    This is take 2.0 of the earlier thread, which got a lot of help from George J., Jorrie, Wabbit, Ken G, and others. I'm exploring this simplification of the flat matter-dominated ΛCDM model (basically anything after year 1 million) to see if there is a presentation that would be suitable for PF...
