Quantum Mechanics and Motion: A Modern
... Above, the flat space-time of special relativity was used in the discussion. When the space-time curvature due to gravitation is included, Minkowski diagrams become almost impossible to draw: Given a space-like hypersurface, the rate of clocks at any point on the hypersurface depends on the local ma ...

Because the electron would lose energy, it would gradually spiral inwards, collapsing into the nucleus. This atom model is disastrous, because it predicts that all atom ...

... Average values (a.k.a. “expectation values”) Suppose that you perform measurements of a quantity associated with a Ωop operator, on a quantum system that at the time of each measurement is in the same state ψ . Each measurement yields an eigenvalue, but each time it may be a different one from the ...

To have any solution of finite energy (and action) the field φ has to be in its groundstate at large distances. However, as we have a degenerate ground-state it can be in a different ground state in different di ...

... So, is the divergence theorem wrong, or did we miss something? The answer is that we were a little careless in calculating the divergence and declaring it to be zero. It is zero, almost everywhere. However, if you look at our equations exactly at the point x = y = z = 0, you will see that the deriva ...
