@DImension10AbhimanyuPS I deleted my own comment to turn it into a more constructive recommendation to Larry, you can read it now.
I have so far approved all your comments. Do some of them get filtered out by a bot or something? I hadn't the slightest idea...
I like the idea of that site, I will take part.

Q: Is my question "Is everything in the universe discrete" a duplicate?

trav1sMy question, "is everything in the universe discrete" was quite rapidly put on hold as a duplicate of "does the Planck scale imply that spacetime is discrete". I understand my question might have other issues as well, but it was closed for being a duplicate, so I would like to address that direct...

Shog9This has been the de facto policy here for as long as I can remember. We strive to discuss actions not users, behaviors not people. This attitude follows directly from the standard philosophy of the main sites: we strive to focus on obtaining accurate and helpful answers, regardless of who writes...

I was just pointing out the contradiction.

That's not a contradiction. The question had arisen from a completely different case, which the MSO folks knew about.

yes. so?
The question and answer are saying different things. The question is asking for something else, the answers are more clear about what is and is not allowed

@trav1s, Regarding this, I agree with you that the question isn't a duplicate, but may be too broad.

However, it is probably better to close as a duplicate,

You could have probably reformulated your question as "How does one find out which observables are discrete and which are continuous?".

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS Hello. I approved your "spam" comments in the McMahon site. I have to sit down and explore how that wordpress blogs work, I have no idea. Regarding the errata report you are sending, it seems that you are doing an excellent job. I will collect all coments and put them together in .pdf, that will be the first version of the errata sheet. I plan to do that before crhistmas.

By the way, I think Dilaton's suggestion of including Supersymmetry Demystified is pretty good, though I have not read it; but the fact that Dilaton considers it to be his favourite supersymmetry textbook (according to one of his posts on PSE) probablly means that it may be a great book.

@2physics I meant edit your question to focus on that paragraph. You may as well get rid of the partsn in quotes, as they are specific problems. Those are probably the reason why the question is on hold.

Anonymous
@2physics Oh, but why'd you not want to use a fourier transform? .
 
2physics
2physics
@DImension10AbhimanyuPS: Because I want to solve it in its traditional method . And there should be a more intuitive way like the previous example I have mentioned at the first part of the question. besides, I think using trigonometric identities (which results in solving this problem in a temporal manner ) could give a better view.

@2physics In my opinion, Fourier Transforms are very intuitive.

All Integral Transforms.

They sort of map something from one domain to another.

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS but for me using some simple calculations which I have been dealing with along all over my life, seems to result in a more intuitive viewpoint! :P
