Q: Confusion about how adjoint matrices operate on state vectors

realanswersMy understanding is that for an inner product in state-space, since we want the value to always be a real number we say that $$\langle\psi|\phi\rangle= {\langle\phi|\psi\rangle}^* $$ where * denotes complex conjugate. But when we have an adjoint operator acting on $|\phi\rangle$ we say: $$\langle...

Q: Is there a version of the Einstein field equations that uses the Riemann curvature tensor instead of the Ricci curvature tensor?

Jungwoon SongI understand that the Einstein field equation uses the Ricci curvature tensor, Ricci curvature scalar, and stress-energy momentum tensor. But is there a way to form an equation that uses the Riemann curvature tensor and the stress-energy momentum tensor?

Q: Question about Rules of Significant Figures, Precision, and Uncertainty

CoastCity Lapse 00crashtestIn the physical sciences (which are physics, chemistry, astronomy, materials science, etc.), we learned that the uncertainty is +/- the smallest unit (which is 1) of the last significant figure if the uncertainty is not given in a recording of data. So, if we have a digital measuring device that ...

Q: Why is this a right angle in the mach cone?

tempdev nova This and similar depictions are used when deriving the equation for the mach cone angle $\theta$. It is usually stated that, using algebra we can conclude that: $$sin \ \theta={ct\over vt}$$ and thus: $$θ=arcsin \left({c\over v}\right)$$ However, I noticed that, that assumes a right angle betwee...
