This is not actually a request of mine, but one of the rules of these forums. You don't seem to be familiar with them: You have LateX "wrappers" to display any formulas you might need. We can help you with that.

Some questions: What has quantum gravity to do with quantum computing? What is a Shor anomaly? How can graph theory be relevant for local continuous groups, as are those in the SM? How can the non-linear sigma model be relevant in quantum gravity? And what is "noisy" about it in your implementation? Can you present a summary of these completely bizarre-sounding connections w/o people having to click on your link? Please do report on the results as soon as they're ready, falsified or not. And last but not least, are you aware of how much LLM-generated-garbage this sounds?

Waves are oscillations that propagate, either in a medium or in a vacuum. You would be well advised to follow up on suggestions from wise members to pursue basic treatments and then perhaps use the community to answer questions on particular points you find difficult.

No, because it's energy that sources gravity, not mass. This is a common misunderstanding.

Most likely not, as you're asking sensible questions. Hello. OK. But be careful. The battlefield of physics is littered with the corpses of ontologists. Well. It does say that you can always trade mass for energy if you can find a viable way to do it. Example: Annihilate electrons with positrons and you have converted all of their mass into massless energy. Yes, all matter particles are examples of quantum fields, which are a special kind of waves. Energy is an attribute of waves, rather than the waves themselves. If matter were made out of point particles, they would also have energy. I hope that helped.

Not really. The Schwarzschild coordinates are simply a useful parametrisation to solve Einstein's field equations. Nothing more. But the Schwarzschild coordinates are contaminated by a spurious singularity at radial distance = Schwarzschild radius. A more physical set of coordinates is the Kruskal-Szekeres one. And an even more physical quantity is the interval (the metric coefficients multiplied by differences in the coordinates), which is invariant, while the metric tensor is not. What really codes the physics is the Riemann curvature tensor.

You beat me to the puch. I was actually in the process of writing this: Observation Induction --> Synthesis (generalisation) Hypothesis formulation (imagination) Deduction --> Analysis (prediction) Observation (prediction confirmation, high-precision tests, etc) (Something like that.) This which I would call the "wheel of science" must go full circle from observation to observation, as @exchemist emphasises. BTW, I totally agree about the synthetic processes being more difficult: extracting the general rule from the myriad of particular cases. Which Kant so masterfully put at the centre of scientific endeavour, with his a priori synthetic judgments. The epitome of these to me is Newton with his observation that the Moon is similar to a very big apple starting its motion with a particularly off-centre trajectory. An example kids should be taught over, and over, and over.

It's actually more like,

I don't think you understand the concept of "conserved" in physics. Riddle me this: If, \[ t=\textrm{constant} \] then, \[ \frac{dt}{dt}=0 \] But obviously, \[ \frac{dt}{dt}=1 \] How could that be?

Hello, Tim. Welcome to the forums.

Thank you, Studiot. That's very good to know.

Moderators will tell you. BTW, is this the Thomas Lockyer that you mention?: https://inspirehep.net/authors/1701596

Just to point out that you cannot make CPT, or PC, etc into a "physical switch", as it is not an active symmetry. So the example is not a good one, in my opinion. I also agree with arguments that have surfaced by other members, that CPT is an inescapable consequence of QFT (Lorentz invariance plus crossing symmetries of the S matrix), but it's not necessarily a symmetry of a non-linear theory like GR. The status of GR as per CPT is that it just happens to be CPT-invariant in its present formulation. The possibility that there be white holes may be tantalising, but there are no astrophysical candidates for them so far.

You need to explain the idea. Ironically perhaps, that's what's not supposed to happen on these forums. Somebody asking for opinions on an idea that hasn't been introduced. 😀

You did say "science people always misinterpret karma". You either meant the question of karma shouldn't be addressed from a scientific stance, or --worse--, that "science people" --in general-- are too stupid to understand this particular religious idea no matter how well read they are. It's one or the other. How on Earth would I know? I'm just carrying over a concept I learnt from religious folks. Ask them for the finer points of karmic existence. I can facilitate you access to a karmic consultant if you're interested. In the meantime, karma does mean "cause and effect" to a vast community of people interested in Eastern religions, including those considered masters of the subject.

I said that. It wasn't Studiot. You headed the quote with "Studiot said". I didn't say anything was sh*t. On the other hand, let's consider this: So before time, there would be no time, but there would be infinite time, and time would emerge, and then it would proceed as usual. This is like landing upside down after a logical somersault. Not much sense to be found here. Again, points have no extension, so you can't have anything be "uniform throughout" a singularity.

A singularity is a point in time, if you look carefully at a Penrose diagram in GR. How can a singularity be "uniform throughout"?

When you contemplate the red-ox aspect of chemistry, right. Then you have to account for charge conservation as well in the partial ionic reactions. It's often a clue when you don't know all the atomic/molecular participants in detail. Thank you for pointing it out. Stoichiometric balancing is about number of atoms. red-ox balancing is about electron, proton, and sometimes hydroxide-ion numbers, depending on how acidic the medium is. It's all about protons, neutrons, and electrons. Nothing else. There are no nuclear re-arrangements. I was somehow feeling the student is not busy with balancing electrons yet.

What does it mean to be "infinite in scale"? I cannot process the "or". It produced in me the intellectual equivalent of a blood clot.

Just to clarify in case there's any doubt, @swansont 's answer and @KJW 's are pointing to one and the same principle: Atoms are conserved in chemical reactions. Stoichiometry is nothing but a book-keeping tool for that experimental fact.

Physicists be like, "dual space? That's nothing but a fancy name for covariant vectors". Mathematicians be like, "No, no, no, physicists! You must take the dual space seriously. It has a life of its own!" Bilinears meet you half-way; wink, wink. Very interesting topic BTW, @studiot .

I didn't get this concept from science. Karma is not a scientific concept, so I could hardly have got my meaning from science. I got it from Mahayana Buddhist teachers, for whom karma is a common concept. And they told me it's Sanskrit for "cause and effect", or "deed and consequences", or sometimes consequences from past events. According to them, you can even carry karma from previous lives. According to Mahayana Buddhism, not science that is! It's very clear, eg, from the Wikipedia article: I'm sorry. That wasn't addressed to you.

Yes, good point. The question about the dimensions of the infalling object are still relevant though, IMO. Imagine a humongous space station with parts wildly separated in comparison to the Schwarzschild radius. Arguably, the tidal forces can be made relevant by making objects extense enough. After all, the equivalence principle is only exact locally. (Sorry I didn't follow up before; I was on a short vacation).

Depends on the radius. Honestly, I don't know what the real thing would be like, but if the black hole is small enough in comparison to the body's dimensions, the tidal forces would be enormous. The spaghettification conjecture comes from the difference in the direction of the forces corresponding to different points of the big object in the picture below, which represent the tidal forces. Whether this results in ordinary matter turning into a spaguetti of quarks and gluons, as I've heard said, I don't know. The picture is very exaggerated, of course, in order to illustrate the effect clearly.
