    MHB De-mystifying universal mapping properties: an example-quotient groups.

    Often, in the study of algebraic objects certain things (like tensor products) are often defined primarily in terms of an universal mapping property. When one is used to "concrete objects" one can calculate with, this often comes as a shock to the system. One feels as if one is spinning...

    What I mean by this is how were the laws of quantum mechanics used to predict that the higgs boson would decay into 2 photons or 4 electrons. I understand that the higgs boson transmits the higgs field, but why would a particle that transmits the higgs field have to decay in that wayand not some...

    MHB Properties of Metric $\sigma(x,y)$

    Hello! (Wave) I want to show that if $\rho(x,y)$ is a metric on $X$, then $\sigma (x,y)= \min \{ 1, \rho(x,y) \}$ is a metric. I have thought the following: $\rho(x,y)$ is a metric on $X$, so: $\rho(x,y) \geq 0, \forall x,y \in X$ $\rho(x,y)=0$ iff $x=y$ $\rho(x,y)=\rho(y,x) \forall x,y...

    Do non-black hole singularities have observable properties?
