Q: Electron shell transition and locality

ShacksSo I'm just now starting to learn quantum physics, so I don't know very much. What I do however (think I) know, is that the wave function for an electron around the atom can instantaneously transition from one distribution to another. The issue I have with this is how each constituent part of the...

Q: I'm trying to replicate Rømer's experiment but can't seem to get even close to the correct value for the speed of light

RugbyReneFirst post here so my apologies if this has been asked before. I am trying to replicate Rømer's experiment where he determined the speed of light by observing and measuring the eclipse timings of Io by Jupiter. I'm using Stellarium for this experiment and no matter how I try I can't seem to land ...

Q: Conserved Currents in BRST Polchinski

Treb NebI have two related questions about some of the steps in the BRST section of Polchinski's String Theory book. Question 1 Eq. \eqref{eq:4.2.8} of Polchinski's book reads $$ \begin{align} \epsilon \delta\langle f| i\rangle & =i\langle f| \delta_{\mathrm{B}}\left(b_a \delta F^a\right)...
