Heyo, wondering if anyone can recommend a book on introductory lagrangian mechanics that is friendly to someone who probably can't do something too rigorous

I know calculus 2 and am learning calculus 3
just for fun, so don't have to consider the suitability of the textbook for class-use

Thanks~

Q: Condition for formation of interference pattern

I recently came across this in a textbook (NCERT class 12 , chapter: wave optics , pg:367 , example 10.4(d)) of mine while studying the Young's double slit experiment. It says a condition for the formation of interference pattern is $$\frac{s}{S} < \frac{\lambda}{d}$$ Where $s$ is the size of ...

The accepted answer is clearly wrong. The OP's textbook referes to 's' as "size of source" and then gives a relation involving it. But the accepted answer conveniently assumes 's' to be "fringe-width" and proves the relation. One of the unaccepted answers is the correct one. I have flagged the answer for mod attention. This answer wastes time, because I naturally looked at it first ( it being an accepted answer) only to realise it proved something entirely different and trivial.

Can anything be done here?

@EmilioPisanty Sup. I finished Part I of Q is for Quantum. I'm a little confused why a black ball turns into a misty of white and minus black, and not into white and black? Is it like a little trick so the second PETE box can cancel out the contrary states? Also I really like that the book avoids words like quantum, superposition, etc.

Jake Rose

@NovaliumCompany make sure you have an idea what ‘superposition’ means. It’s actually s really important thing to get your head wrapped wround

@JakeRose Oh yep, I know about superposition :) (or at least I think I know)

thermomagnetic condensed boson

14:02

why is it that the emissivity of a material is not mentioned in any solid state/condensed matter textbooks? not even the classics like Aschcroft Mermin

so in the end, we're left with 0 knowledge on how to compute from first principles, epsilon

i don't even know whether the radiation is due to the electrons, or ions of the lattice, or both, etc

ACuriousMind

@thermomagneticcondensedboson I'd wager because it is a surface property rather than a bulk property.

The condensed matter structure of the body is wholly irrelevant for its emissivity, but e.g. whether it's polished or not is.

thermomagnetic condensed boson

yeah but these books do mention the boundaries and the surfaces

and surface currents and what not

they're not focused solely on the bulk properties

black body radiation is a topic that looks, to me at least, completely forgotten from all the textbooks I've checked out (around 8)

ACuriousMind

Googling search terms like "ab initio emissivity" seems to indicate that it requires rather involved simulations.

thermomagnetic condensed boson

im not so sure, I had checked out a paper which gives it in terms of an integral

that was related to the electronic density

but clearly, this cannot be applicable to non metallic materials

i mean even a piece of wood where the electrons are all tightly binded to the atoms do emit like T^4 and so the formula from DFT I found doesn't apply there

it should be another formula

precisely the kind of stuff I would expect to find in any serious solid state textbook, but which is totally depreciated

ACuriousMind

@thermomagneticcondensedboson And computations of electronic densities for real materials in fact do require simulation, as far as I know!

thermomagnetic condensed boson

14:11

right. if you want to evaluate the integral, yes you have to solve it numerically

but for physics sake, please at least show me that integral! (im talking to the book authors)

they do not even cover the topic at all

Ryan Unger

@ACuriousMind you should find an alternative approach to Perelman's third paper

Yau would give you some award

thermomagnetic condensed boson

anyway im digging back to the textbooks. ive got some equations to solve

Is this correct? "The closer you get hovering (as opposed to falling) to a black hole, the further away you see the black hole from you. You would need an impossible rope of an infinite length to reach the event horizon from a hovering ship". From physics.stackexchange.com/questions/480767/…

Novalium Company

@ACuriousMind I need him about something in Q is for Quantum :p

ACuriousMind

@NovaliumCompany you could try also asking the rest of us ;)

Novalium Company

The reason we can't extract zero point energy is that the core definition of zero point energy relies on it not being extractable? I wanted a more satisfying definition.

@ACuriousMind I will try, but it's specific to tge book, but I'll ask anyways, sec.

PM 2Ring

You can't make a system go to a lower state than its zero point, so you can't do work with ZPE. Similarly, to run a hydroelectric generator you not only need water, you need a height difference so you can make the water run downhill. — PM 2Ring 3 hours ago

Novalium Company

So in Q is for Quantum there's a box called PETE that has 50% chance of changing the color of a black or white ball. When two PETE boxes are connected, an input white ball will always come out white and the same with a black ball.

PM 2Ring

14:35

@NovaliumCompany You may find it helpful to learn a little about torsors.

ACuriousMind

@NovaliumCompany I remember that (I read the first chapter or so), what about it?

Novalium Company

@ACuriousMind There is also a NOT box that changes the color of the ball. In the book it's described that each ball has a misty (possible outcomes I suppose). For example a white ball coming into a PETE box will have output misty of WB (it can come out as white or black). But the misty of a black ball is W-B or -WB. (the black ball comes out with a minus). I understand that with the minus the math works out, but what is that minus and why?

ACuriousMind

@NovaliumCompany Why does it have to "be" anything?

It is, at first, just a marker that the state of the black ball after PETE is different from the state of the white ball, you could choose any way you like to denote that.

Then we realize that we can do useful things by writing the states as W+B and W-B, The minus is in our description, not in the world.

14:58

@AbhasKumarSinha intriguing/ impressive! would like to hear more! :) am very interested in using physics simulation systems for fluid dynamics vs particle dynamics experiments, alas very few in the world are thinking along the same lines right now, even as the technology improves substantially...

PM 2Ring

@NovaliumCompany When we observe a misty ball, is there a 50:50 chance that it's black or white?

Novalium Company

15:18

@PM2Ring When we put a black or white ball, it has 50 percent of staying the same color and 50 percent of switching.

@ACuriousMind Why doesn't a white ball misty come out as -WB, but the black comes out as W-B? Physics is racist?

Abhas Kumar Sinha

@vzn for physics/simulation, you may use Blender, that is very accurate. If you want to experiment lens and optics, the you may use Mistibushi Renderer, those are made for accurate scientific purposes.

ACuriousMind

@NovaliumCompany The inner workings of the PETE box are purposefully left unspecified.

Abhas Kumar Sinha

*mitsuba renderer specifically

@vzn Here's my artstation: artstation.com/abhassinha

Novalium Company

@ACuriousMind That isn't very satisfying but I guess I'll "accept" it for now.

Ryan Unger

@ACuriousMind is there a canonical SE thread for mathematicians learning string theory

ACuriousMind

15:34

@RyanUnger physics.stackexchange.com/q/27700/50583 is about QFT for mathematicians, which overlaps in the sense that you can't really do string theory without first doing QFT. I think the canonical recommendation is indeed Deligne et al's *Quantum Fields and Strings: A Course For Mathematicians *, but I haven't read it myself

vzn

@NovaliumCompany not following this closely but think/ picture QM optics devices related to polarization. this is a neat book that uses similar rhetorical devices. by David Z Albert. amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Experience-David-Albert/dp/…

Novalium Company

@vzn Thanks.

ACuriousMind

@vzn the whole point of "Q is for quantum"'s PETE analogy is not to tie this to any particular physical implementation.

Novalium Company

^

ACuriousMind

The standard example would be Stern-Gerlach apparati, but to understand the essence of QM you really only need the input/output description of the PETE box, not what happens inside it.

vzn

15:39

@AbhasKumarSinha when you say you were there, did you work at some kind of Godot facilities/ headquarters? where? dont see something relevant on google yet on "mitsubishi renderer" do you have a link for that?

Ryan Unger

@ACuriousMind I know about that set but it's 20 years old now

surely there's something more modern (incorporating mirror symmetry ideally)

I was at Yau's bday conference and there was so much mirror symmetry

ACuriousMind

@RyanUnger I don't think it's really outdated though, the basics of string theory haven't changed.

Ryan Unger

completely incomprehensible talks tho

SDFG

chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/50339235#50339235 So you mean to say that there's no way this can be handled? I can't do anything other than bring this to the mods' attention given my low rep. @ACuriousMind

vzn

@ACuriousMind thats exactly how DZA presents it. understand the idea of "not tying it to any particular physical implementation" but that kind of gets stretched thin because the point is that there are "devices from our reality" that match the description and theyre all part of the mystery/ complexity/ inscrutability of QM. actually its QM experts that dont fully grasp the idea because (on deep research) it seems possible classical components exist that fulfill the descriptions...

Ryan Unger

15:40

@ACuriousMind OK I don't know about string theory but the foundations of GR have actually changed a lot in the last 20 years

where did you come from

do you have a GR detection script

@ACuriousMind All right. Thanks, though!

@RyanUnger If you say 'GR' three times in front of a mirror, Slereah will appear and talk to you about wormholes

Slereah

Oh no

I mean I guess that there has been plenty of theorems proven and such

But foundational stuff?

Ryan Unger

yeah, things about regularity of horizons, for example

formation of black holes

low regularity existence theory

ACuriousMind

@RyanUnger I have a feeling we might have different ideas of what the "foundations" are :P

Slereah

yeah those are more like

derived things

Ryan Unger

15:44

GR is just a manifold with an equation

if that's what you mean by foundations, then sure

Slereah

I don't think much has changed wrt the axiomatic basis of GR

since like the 70's

Ryan Unger

but there are some errors in HE/Wald that were corrected 20 years ago, for example

Slereah

Hawking died before he could answer for his crimes

ACuriousMind

When I say "the basics of string theory haven't changed", I basically mean the story of string theory up to (but excluding) compactifications, branes and what not. It is the latter that has rapidly evolved, not the former.

Slereah

I don't rly know a whole bunch about string theory, rly

Slereah

If you ask the wrong question he may consume your brain to add it to his cranium

ACuriousMind

@RyanUnger Yes, it's where the actual model building happens. But there's a lot of things to work out independently of that

And that is what I mean by "the basics".

Yes, with mirror symmetry and all that jazz, there's been a lot of things happening in string theory, but I think that's still comparatively "fresh" research where the best you'll find are some survey papers

Ryan Unger

15:49

But why should I, really

Slereah

In the sense of Filippov

It's probably true in reasonable cases

and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot on the topic but enough that proving it shouldn't be too hard

danielunderwood

@Slereah do you have to write dates with month number? That's kind of ingrained in my mind which one is which. I still have to think about whether a month has 30 or 31 days though

Novalium Company

Also why do we say space is cold when the temperature skyrockets in the thermosphere and above?

Is it bcs less air is present at higher altitudes?

Novalium Company

@vzn I dont want to go to uni nor college. I prefer to dive into the depths of life early. I'm 16 (2 more years and I graduate). I'm interested in business, physics, neuroscience, philosophy, biology, engineering and other stuff and technologies. I just have constant hunger to widen my view on the world.

Ryan Unger

you definitely need to go to college

a good one at that

you need to interact with people infinitely smarter than you

Novalium Company

I agree, and I will. I doubt smart people exist only in colleges.

vzn

@NovaliumCompany btw think either way is acceptable, relate to the feeling of low enthusiasm to submitting to "the higher establishment," but for many, universities are indeed "diving into the depths of life"

danielunderwood

I think you should go if you want to learn, but I'd also argue that waiting a couple years could be a sensible option. I know a number of people who went to college because they were told that it was what they should do and ended up wasting a bunch of time/money

It does give you more of a sense of who actually knows what they're talking about and who doesn't though. While there's a lot of information available these days, it isn't all good information and it can be a very difficult thing to judge without some background knowledge

vzn

the university system is getting a little-to-lot out of control in various ways, its becoming a little too corporate etc...
