| How can I get the x-p quantization from field quantization? | 31 Jan 2004 20:03 GMT | 2 |
Field quantization should include x-p quantization (I say, point quantization). But, I don't know how to get it from field quantization method. For the harmonic oscillator problem, it looks clear. We have x=a + (a+) and for the p, p=a - (a+). But, how about infinte degrees

| Naive question on Many Worlds Hypothesis | 31 Jan 2004 12:53 GMT | 13 |
I have a question on the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum theory, which may reveal that I have only an undergraduate knowledge, no clue about quantum field theory, etc. -- but maybe someone can set me straight. Two questions, really, that are related:

| To Justify of Action Integral | 31 Jan 2004 05:11 GMT | 1 |
It would seem that the Action integral for the world sheets of classical string theory are presently justified as a higher dimensional version of the one dimensional case. But I wonder if this formulation would be a natural description if we were first given the geometry of a ...

| Re:Particle Spin | 30 Jan 2004 06:50 GMT | 12 |
I just want to see what the answer would be in the classical world. I know the actual situation is a quantum mechanical one. Basically, assuming only the classical, pre-20ieth century physics, what would the spin be for a proton? If that spin were converted into linear velocity,

| Source-free Maxwell Equations--quantization? | 29 Jan 2004 14:42 GMT | 113 |
I was just wondering if quantizing the source-free form of Maxwell's equations is really a valid procedure? It does seem to describe freely propagating photons. FrediFizzx

| The conservation of angular momentum of the range of protons and the derivation of Planck's law | 29 Jan 2004 02:54 GMT | 7 |
Back in 1987, I formulated that a helical spiral model of light could be used to derive Planck's law at the unitary quantum state, i.e., E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency associated with a photon of light. To achieve this derivation, I postulated that

| Particle Spin | 20 Jan 2004 17:49 GMT | 3 |
I have a hypothisis that as gravity slows the expansion of the universe particle spin is increased to maintain the momentum of the universe. I could be posible that the new discovery that the hydrogen absorbtion line in distant quasars has changed by one part in a million from the ...

| Question: What prevents electrons from colliding with the nucleus? | 20 Jan 2004 12:23 GMT | 4 |
So there is a strong attraction between the electron and the proton. What prevents the electron from actually connecting with the proton? I presume there is some force at work here. Also do we know why electrons have certain orbits around the nucleus?

Yes, it´s a high-tech weapon built from very expensive materials and weighing 200 pounds , but it can destroy a large boulder with one shoot. Should I sell the idea to the US army or do your think I can get more

| particle spin | 13 Jan 2004 13:46 GMT | 49 |
If a particle were completely at rest it would still have momentum as a result of quantum spin. If the spin of the proton could be stopped an the momentum transfered to velocity how fast would the proton be traveling. How fast does the surface of a proton rotate as a result of ...
