When there was a controversy of whether Galilean transformations were right or Maxwell's equations were, it "turned out" that Maxwell's equations were...How did the contemporary physics community figure that out?
 
Scrambling is a very strong form of thermalization?
do black holes scramble quantum information at the fastest rate possible?

@ManasDogra Galilean transformation became more and more awkward to preserve with weird rules that used abstract entities

Random ponderings about the philosophy of science:
One issue I had with creationism, is that it gives no indication on what to do with that piece of knowledge. While ultimately irrelevant in the spiritual realm, a society that believes in creationism does not change much because the agent that causes the phenomena is outside our control such that it is not a matter we cannot control it, but that controlling is a notion that makes no sense and life goes on as usual
In contrast, a society that uses natural selection model can be inspired to go further with genetic researches and other things, so there is some progression
and that is possible because scientific theory is falsifiable
 
You're supposed to devote your life to Christ
is the change that they aim for

hmm...
Well spiritual growth is not a bad thing, but in terms of realising new possibilities with technological developments, it is far slower optimistically speaking. But then, considering one of the suggestions on why our modern society is quite polluted and isolated is because of disenchantment from nature and wonder, I think it is more complicated on the way forward for both science and spirituality

The supermarket is very cool. But it has no desk and computer to do physics.
Does teleportation invoke entanglement or scrambling?

The blueberry juice tastes so nice.

Hi everyone
 
hi
 
@Charlie can you tellll me how an ammeter formed by a galvanometer is joined in a circuit
 
I do not know sorry
 
Ok . No problem
Do you know about ammeter of Galvanometer ?

in what condition can the entanglement of quantum systems holograhically produce a spacetime which represents gravity?
 
2:09 PM
I've spent some time this morning trying to finally become happy with the idea of how tangent vectors are constructed. So we define the geometric object that is the tangent vector $$\vec v=v^i\partial_i$$ by how it acts on arbitrary functions: $$\vec v(f)=v^i\partial_if$$ which is just a directional derivative.
And scalar multiplication and vector addition structures are defined as: $$\vec v + \vec u = (v^i\partial_i+u^j\partial_j)(f)$$ and $$\lambda \cdot \vec v = v^i\partial_i(\lambda\cdot f)$$
I guess my problem was similar to the one I had with the hodge star operator from yesterday, that if we define something by how it acts on something else we can still by "partial application" get a meaningful object from it.

people try to build the spacetime representing gravity by building in lab entanglement between quantum systems by the holographic principle. But I don't think any quantum entanglement on a bounding manifold could produce a bounded spacetime manifold representing gravity.
 
Hello
lets talk about ai, machine learning and data science
i'm currently getting into those fields and if someone is also interested, i'd love to discuss stuff

Q: Scifi novel where God invents the rules of physics as men discovers science, and gets overwhelmed by the complexity of it

ChoumarinTrying to find this book I read probably something like 15-20 years ago. I can't recall if it was a full book or just a short story in a collection. I think the later. It's also possible I read it in French (can't recall), but maybe it was translated. God has to come up with explanations as men d...

Question for Captain Bohemian, so I don't know much about the holographic principle. What kind of quantities in theories on gravity can you measure using laboratory entanglement experiments?
 
I think the holographic principle, such as the AdS/CFT correspondence, is not 1:1.
there may be more than one way of quantum entanglement which could holographically build a certain sapcetime manifold.
@Tabin I am not an experimentalist, but I think entropy is one of those.
 
7:39 PM
There are no experiments you can currently do for quantum gravity.
And "quantum entanglement building a spacetime manifold" sounds far more non-mainstream than standard AdS/CFT...what are you reading?

It's so stupid that in america we use the imperial system, yet the ingredients on food (e.g. a bag of potato chips) will be in metric units
that seems like a way to make people less aware of what they're eating
