@ACuriousMind you wouldn't happen to know why Schwarzschild spacetime is globally hyperbolic?
 
Nope
 
@ACuriousMind :(
I think it's a really tricky thing to actually prove.
The only conceivable proof I can come up with is to actually construct a Cauchy surface.
 
12:45 AM
I have no clue how actually do that or verify that whatever I end up creating is a Cauchy surface.
 
12:59 AM
@ACuriousMind Interesting factoid: if $\mu\in\Omega^k(M)$ and $\nabla_X\mu=0$ for all vector fields $X$, then $\mu$ is a harmonic form.
 
1:51 AM
@ACuriousMind I want to say "Yes, that's worth understanding, but it's no harder to understand the better version and then you avoid confusion later."
 
@dmckee Wow he's still thinking about it, he sent me another pdf with some thoughts on it
Nerd sniped!
@Slereah If I have the proof, do you want me to tell you here or just put it on the question?
If this proof is correct, it's not mine.
 
2:15 AM
@Slereah Ok, pretty sure there are no spacelike hypersurfaces homeomorphic to $S^3$ in Gödel.
@Slereah I have the proof. Maybe.
But not using homotopy, because that proof is just nonsense.

@0celo7 wonderful similarity between Lorentz force and Coriolis force
 
I am not really suprised that magnetic force is kinda "coordiante <insert suitable word>" like the coriolis force

(coordiante <insert suitable word> being the result of coordinate transformations)
grrr why I am so lack of vocabulary...
 
@Secret I think the paper above is a perfect answer to the question
0
A: Is there an underlying physical reason why the Coriolis force is similar to the magnetic component of the Lorentz force?

Hari PrasadI came across this wonderful paper on arXiv.org which exactly answers what you asked for. "Why is the magnetic force similar to a Coriolis force?" - Antoine Royer Abstract from the paper: In this paper, it is pointed out that the underlying reason why the magnetic force is similar to a Co...

 
In fact, looking further, we might be able to say there's really only electric field, because magnetic fields are the result when a frame is boosted

Having said that, I still yet to fully wrap my head around this transformation because I am still nto good at handling the time component

6:50 AM
Dumb newbie question: What's LaTeX for the infinity sign? Ilooked in the MAthjax Help site Special symbols page 3 times and it's definitely not there.
 
\infty $\infty$
 
7:14 AM
@Secret But it's not possible to always boost into a frame where there is no B-field. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ($B^2-E^2$ is conserved, so if it's positive somewhere the $B$ field can never be made zero)
 
Hmm.. it seems the general picture is more complicated than I thought
Still a while before I can fully grasp electromagnetism stuff
 
@Secret True that. I'll probably never be happy until I find some suitable "proof" that electrodynamics is the simplest force law compatible with causality and relativity.
as well as look at Feynman's formulation of electrodynamics! And lots of pictures of field tensor two-forms and what-not :p
 
7:33 AM
@JohnRennie Which is the best skin for kodi? (your favorite, other than the stock)
 
8:00 AM
Momentum hey got bit confused when the ball hits a rigid ball horizontally (neglect gravity) is momentum conserved or not?
 
8:15 AM
Sorry wen a a ball hits a wall is mom. Conserved or not!! My question is not over
 
well yea, ultimately the wall transfers that memntum to the earth
its the same amount of momentum the earth transferred to you when you threw the ball
assuming ideal condition
momentum can tranfer to atmosphere, theres sound (which im not too sure if it could affect the momentum) and possibly other dissipative mechanisms to sap up momentum
@DeNiSkA it is now =). Sorry about the mispellings, was in the process of eating 4 steak burgers
 
9:09 AM
Is there anything wrong with deleting a question if it has been voted down?
And has only attracted a one line answer
 
Hey if you delete question then you won't be able to post questions
this happnd to me with answers lol
 
How long for?
 
if you delete more than three question i think so
but still keep it like that don't delete
@user507974 hey suppose velocity before collision is v then after hitting the wall it turns out to be -v (assuming elastic collision) so I can e
So they are not equal
 
@DeNiSkA yes they are, once you consider the whole system
the whole system being the earth
 
@Slereah @JohnRennie ...Recalling the conversation about book Gravitation (MTW) at 4.3.2016 I have now read it enough to say "This seems to be a Math-book". ie. saying "gravity is curvature of space" is no more intelligent than saying "Gravity is angels pushing the Earth",,, But in Box 17.2 there is though "Route-6; Sakharov's view" which is very good, and it's last chapter "m" I found the frontier I was looking for (Page 428, and 1206->) I will soon talk the language; Thanks & Nice day!
 
9:15 AM
If a question I asked has been voted down, then it is obviously of no value to SE, so why shouldn't I delete the question to recover points. Also, a question that has been downvoted has a higher likelihood of attracting further downvotes, losing me more points, that I can't afford
So better to kill it straight away
 
@MyOtherHead i think some moderator should close it
@user507974 do you think I should consider earth miving
*moving
 
And lose further points?
 
@DeNiSkA well if you are concerned about whether momentum is conserved or not the system locally doesnt conserve momentum but globally does, so you need to analyze it globally if you wanted to say something like "momentum isnt conserved"
 
Isn't point accrual the name of the game here?
 
if you are instead just looking at that as part of the problem it is better to approximate it away as a constraint and simplify your life. If doing this with differential equations we call it a lagrange multiplier
here momentum of the wall is constrained to be zero
 
9:20 AM
@MyOtherHead You can do it, but this will not lead to any progress. It's just leads us all to do the same circle singing. Sort of "Finlandization". -So please don't.
 
and energy is conserved, so youve described an elastic collision with a wall
do not also that only 1 component of momentum is not conserved in this problem
if you hit the ball skew the other momentum components are conserved
 
@JokelaTurbine, Like I said, if a question has been downvoted, the community thinks it is of no value, so why keep it?
 
@user507974 yeah @user507974 oh!! The conclusion considering only ball a system momentum in horizon. Direction is no conserved , right?
 
could you rephrase that, not sure what you were asking
 
sorry for spelling mistakes
so can I conclude that momentum in horizontal direction is not conserved if i take ball as a system
 
9:24 AM
correct
locally conservation isnt observed
@ACuriousMind would what I be described as above be an example of symmetry breaking technically?
 
Great thank you!!
 
@DeNiSkA yw
 
@MyOtherHead "the community" will never up vote anything which is against the thoughts which they are used to have. It's purely statistical phenomenon. But if we stop producing negative voted thoughts, we have actually stopped thinking by our selfs. If you don't think differently, it's doubtful if you even think at all. ...Probably I am talking over your head here, So pls. just "nevermind"; delete your answer and improve your points.
 
Hello
 
@Slereah, hi. @JokelaTurbine, ok, I'll undelete and ask for migration, and see what happens.
 
9:52 AM
physics.stackexchange.com/questions/242974/… Should I delete or ask for migration to Maths.SE, or delete and post directly to Maths.SE?
 
10:10 AM
@Slereah HI
 
@Slereah I'm fairly sure I have the proof of the claim in HE, but not via homotopy. Should I post it as an answer or not?
 
Sure
Tho
Is it for Gödel
 
I'm 99% sure Hawking and Ellis were fucking high when they wrote that part
 
Or any simply connected manifold
 
@Slereah it works for any time orientable CTC space diffeo to R^n
 
10:18 AM
O, I almost cannot recognise Slereah because of his change in profile pics
 
Close enough
 
There's just one last detail I have to clear up
 
For you kids too young to remember the old internet
That is Leonard J. Crabs
The totally real lawyer that used to defend Something Awful from LEGAL THREATS
 
Actually, the proof uses the fact that the curve intersects an even number of times...
That part of HE is just nonsense.
 
It was my Saul Goodman :p
 
10:20 AM
It's not crazy to think they have a wrong proof.
 
Well Ellis hasn't answered yet
 
BTW I hunted down that German paper they mention
 
So who knows~
 
Read it
 
Does it say anything regarding that
 
10:21 AM
They solve the geodesic equation and find an inertial frame or combing coordinates or some shit
Nope
 
@Slereah tachyon field?
 
Comoving
Coordinates
 
A tachyon field is a field with negative mass term
 
@Slereah btw the claim in Godel is not the same as the one in HE
 
@Slereah I am -80 Kg
 
10:23 AM
And my advisor proved a weaker version of the HE claim, but I think I can strengthen it.
 
Isn't it?
I know he uses a different proof but I thought it was also about foliation
 
Godel shows his spacetime is stationary but not static
The HE claim is that there are no boundaryless spacelike hypersurfaces.
 
Hm
I'll have to reread it
Is that what the Frobinius part was about?
 
yes
The timelike killing vector is never hypersurface orthogonal
But the claim in HE is much much stronger
They say there is never a spacelike hypersurface
That is boundaryless, that is
 
@0celo7 No idea what the "1N" is supposed to mean
 
10:31 AM
Basically, I need a theorem that classifies the boundaryless proper hypersurfaces in R^4. If it's the compact ones + the "curved infinite 3-plane" the I have the proof.
@ACuriousMind would you happen to know anything about ^
 
What about the 3-plane with a handle?
 
@ACuriousMind yup, that's the part I was confused about as well.
 
@user507974 Well, if momentum isn't conserved then translation symmetry is explicitly broken, but one usually uses "symmetry breaking" for spontaneous symmetry breaking, which does not actually break the symmetry but just hides it.
 
@ACuriousMind what do you mean hides it
 
wtf is your profile picture, @Slereah
 
10:33 AM
@Slereah as long as the complement has two connected components, that works
 
Symmetry breaking is about the symmetries of the initial conditions and not the physics
 
because technically here you dont break momentum globally
ah
 
@ACuoriousMind could you ever imagine, @0celo7 reading Gödel...sadly, he's reading the wrong papers :-P
 
@ACuriousMind Leonard J. Crabs, attorney at law
 
Basically I need a theorem that says the complement of boundaryless hypersurfaces in R^4 has two connected components. Like Jordan-Brouwer but stronger.
 
10:34 AM
@user507974 The Lagrangian is still symmetric. SSB is when the solution of the equation of motion is not invariant under the solution, so when you expand the Lagrangian around that, the symmetry gets "hidden" because it is not longer linearly realized on the new dynamical variables.
 
@0celo7 1931 is a good year for a Gödel paper
 
@yuggib :D
 
@ACuriousMind is the lagrangian for a ball bouncing off an ideal wall symmetric?
 
@ACuriousMind I need your topology wisdom...
 
@user507974 I'm not sure how one would write that except by modelling the wall to be infinitely massive and represent the wall as an infinite potential step.
 
10:38 AM
It seems reasonable, a 2-plane with handles in R^3 separates it just fine
 
@ACuriousMind perhaps add it in as a constraint (e.g. lagrange multiplier), if this were done I would think that constraint would remove the symmetry wouldnt it
you know, before I go further what is the rigorous definition of a symmetry
 
@user507974 A transformation $z\mapsto z'$ of the dynamical variables $z$ such that the Lagrangian changes at most by a total time derivative off-shell.
On the level of the action: "such that the action changes at most by a boundary term off-shell"
 
@ACuriousMind off-shell?
 
@user507974 On-shell that would be a vacuous statement.
 
@Slereah do you know if there's a formula for the boundary of the topological sum of two things?
 
10:44 AM
(On-shell, you have $\delta S = 0$ for any infinitesimal transformation of the variables, that's the definition of a stationary point)
 
@ACuriousMind Can space expand independent of time?
 
I dunno?
 
@0celo7 What is the "topological sum"?
Do you mean union? :P
 
@ACuriousMind : The one with taking out a disc
 
@ACuriousMind whatever the thing is called that you do with spheres to get tori or some shit
 
10:45 AM
Take out a disc out of each manifolds, identify the edges
 
Ah, connected sum.
 
It's 6AM and I haven't slept at all :P
 
@0celo7 its 6 PM here
 
@0celo7 Welcome to my world
But why are you doing that? oO
 
Go to bed Garfield
 
10:47 AM
On a bus headed home
Can't sleep, bus is at the resonant frequency of my brain
 
Also, since I don't think you can cut an open sphere out such that it intersects the boundary, the boundary of the connected sum will just be the union of the boundaries
 
@ACuriousMind stupid question, what's the union with the empty set
 
@0celo7 put on a very zen song. I once fell into a hallucegenic trance on a 4 hour busride from santa cruz to LA
 
@0celo7 Uh...that's a do-nothing operation
 
or was it 6 hrs
 
10:48 AM
Hmm, ok, that makes sense.
 
you add all the things in the empty set!
 
@ACuriousMind do you not know a strengthening of Jordan-Brouwer?
 
@ACuriousMind in topology would that be the analogy of adding zero identity operations
 
Unless the (k-1)-plane is compact in R^k and I'm too stupid to use Heine-Borel properly.
My god I sound like a topologist
 
You became everything that you despised
 
10:50 AM
No, I'm neither an analyst nor a logician
Yet
@ACuriousMind The complement of the plane in 3-space separates 3-space so there has to be some generalization, right?
 
@0celo7 Um...I don't think you need a strengthening, you can choose a convenient coordinate system and just explicitly write down the two connected components.
It's not hard to do that for a (hyper)plane.
 
Ok but what about fucked up bendy hyperplanes
 
Those aren't planes.
 
But as @Slereah pointed out, that's not the extent of the boundaryless hypersurfaces
@ACuriousMind they're fucked up planes
 
And if they are homotopic to a straight plane, it should still work.
 
10:54 AM
What if they are not tho
 
Well, then you're fucked
 
Lol
 
@user507974 Aye
I mean, I can build a hypersurface that consists of two "hyperbolas". That separates space into 3, not 2 connected components, I think
 
Picture please
 
Or has the hypersurface to be connected?
 
10:56 AM
Yes
 
Hm
Then I don't have a counterexample
 
@ACuriousMind Deutscher detected
 
@0celo7 ?
 
You forgot the "does"
Even then it's still wrong
 
It's not "German detected" if I just make an error that is not really characteristic of Germans :P
 
10:58 AM
"Oder muss..."
Lang makes the mistake all the time
HE doesn't specify connected AFAIK, but we'll assume it.
At least, Freire's proof won't work if it's not connected :P
@ACuriousMind for the record, you do not know of a theorem which says the complement of a boundaryless hypersurface has two components?
 
What about a Klein bottle
I think you need to specify orientable, too
 
@0celo7 No
 
@Slereah it has to be properly embedded
Fucking HE
They're WAY too vague
 
You can embed a Klein bottle in $R^4$!
 
Is it compact and 3-dimensional?
 
11:08 AM
Compact but 2D
Hm
Can you have a non-orientable $n-1$ D compact hypersurface?
 
Hypersurfaces are codim 1
@Slereah do you want to know the proof
 
The proof of what
 
Or should I keep it a surprise
The theorem!
 
Well sho
 
If you can separate spacetime into two parts, you get the future and past Cauchy developments
The Godel spacetime is time orientable and has a CTC through each point
So set up light cones along a given CTC which is future directed
At a point on the hypersurface, it points into the future development
But as you follow it and it hits the hypersurface again, it points into the past development
Contradiction because it's time oriented and has to always point into the future development
 
11:13 AM
Hi guys I am new to this!!
 
Hm
Sounds okay?
 
@Slereah The part that's tricky is you need exactly two components
The past and future developments.
Using Jordan-Brouwer you can show that if there's a hypersurface, it's not compact.
 
@NihalJalaluddinP new to what?
 
And using magic, not homotopic to the 3-plane.
@ACuriousMind GR people define hypersurface as a properly embedded codim 1 submanifold, why is that weird?
 
@HariPrasad new to h bar

11:57 AM
ok then
 
I do hope that wakefield plasma acceleration allows for mini LHCs
 
thought u would help me
 
oh!!!!!
 
@Slereah 400 GeV proton beam?
 
One reason is certainly that the magnetic fields you need to get a charge go around in a circle get stronger the smaller the radius of the circle.
