Hamiltonian Physics Explained - Let's Learn Classical Physics - Goldstein Chapter 8
Hamiltonian mechanics expands on the ideas developed with the Lagrangian and describes a system of motion in terms of its generalized coordinates and conjugate momenta. Hamilton's equations of motion are first-order differential equations, describing the path a system takes through phase space.

The Special Theory of Relativity - Let's Learn Classical Physics - Goldstein Chapter 7
Просмотров 1142 месяца назад
Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity resolves a paradox between Newtonian physics and Maxwell's electromagnetism. By letting space and time vary while leaving the speed of light constant, Einstein's Special Relativity is an advanced theory which preserves the fact that the laws of physics are identical in every inertial reference frame (Newton's First Law). 0:00 Intro 2:39 1 The Basic...

      Good question! You continue moving in a straight line, while the ground continues to rotate and catches up with you. If you jump straight up, you land slightly tilted due to the rotation and slightly ahead of where you started due to the coriolis effect, both of which get smaller the bigger the vessel.

    @00:11:00 wouldnt you agree that some quantum physics experiments hint to that there are no definit states. Electrons can actually sometimes go back in time but for a very brief time, ie: there is your state, and your state can change, but you can reverse the change or stop it somehow if you were quick and no other consequences of that decision or action occured yet, that is if you were on the quantum level like an electron size. I think that means there is "N states" where N are all the possible actions that can be taken, and the future is drawn slowly through the rising probability of one action against the odds of the other, and that works on the human mind level I believe as well.

    @suleymenkand41 2 месяца назад

    Hi Chris, I like your foundational bottom-up approach. In your process of building a framework for reality you start with an analysis of the "objective" observable world as a sort of third person observer. By starting your reality-framework with descriptive laws about the nature of how things are, I believe you are starting one step too far. As conscious beings, we are inherently limited by our individual, personal view of the universe. So a truly foundational reality-framework should start at that: the observations. Then from observations we can build up and form patterns, patterns like "cause and effect" or cyclical patterns of day and night, or other such patterns. All of which can only be based on some type of incoming observations. On these patterns can be reflected, and logical transformations can turn these personal lived experiences into conclusions about the observed reality. These conclusions can only be labeled as "real" in context of the observers' observations and logical transformations of its patterns. Lets call this first order reality. Then there is "truth". Is something true because it is logically coherent with all of the observers' previous observations, patterns, and logic? Or because it is coherent with some "objective reality" outside of the observers' view. Introducing the existence of an objective reality outside of the observers view is a leap of faith in ones logic and deduction, because this is something that is inherently unobserved by the observer, only logical deduction can create the concept of an observer-independent objective reality. Then we have a conundrum, the observer logically deducts an observer-independent objective reality, yet the very thing is something the observer cannot observe. Only the effects of it can be observed. So this will always be a different type of "reality" than the actual observed "first order reality". Now this defining of a second layer of "reality" can be logically justified by the extreme practicality of it. It acts absolutely great in predicting things in the (first order) real world. So even if the existence of an observer-independent objective reality is untrue or an imagination, it still has enormous functionality in predicting patterns from your very own first order observations. From here on, you can build a path directly from your own first order observations all the way to an actual basis of epistemology. Secondly, By defining your basis axiom in terms of "forces" that could cause a change. I think you fall for an intuitive trap that human observers make, which is to think of the world around them in terms of forces with agency. Rain falling down is caused by water vapour in the air, this is caused by water in the ocean vaporizing, water is in the ocean because it got there through rivers, rivers got water because of rainfall. Individual concrete events can be thought of as being caused by a single action, but it can also be thought of as being part of an (infinitely long) chain of actions that lead to it, none of them being inherently causative themselves, just each part existing and perhaps by accident they collectively have some emergent properties which interact in some ways. As you said, the existence of time is also a social construct, and may not even be real. So classifying the fundamental reality in terms of "events" that are "caused" by "forces" may be starting off on the wrong foot. Further exposing our inherent limitation as biological human observers and the ways we think of the world around us in very human-centered pragmatic ways by inventing constructs as time.

    @rysw19 2 месяца назад

    I largely agree with you, but I think your term "social construct" misses the mark. I think more generally we discriminate the world into objects in a way that useful. It's not necessarily relevant whether they are communicated or shared with others if they are useful for us. In some circumstances, sharing and communicating using these objects is itself useful, so it covers that. But it doesn't seem essential. You may consider reframing them as "pragmatic constructs", or something of the like. I've had a idea similar to yours of existence being a relation between objects that specifies there is a causal chain (in at least one direction) between those things. It also covers some interesting examples: 1. Harry Potter (the boy) does not exist (to me). 2. Harry Potter (the boy) exists to Albus Dumbledore. 3. Harry Potter (as a character) does exist (to me). 4. Object Q, beyond our cosmic horizon, which has a causal chain to objects that eventually leads back to us, does exist (to us). 5. Object X, in some completely parallel universe with no causal connection to ours, does not exist (to us). (But it could do with respect to other items in its own parallel universe.)

      The answer can be found from Isaac Newton's first two laws. 1: An object at rest (or in motion) will remain at rest (or in motion) unless acted on by an outside force. 2: An object's acceleration is proportional to the sum of the forces acting on it. In space, objects naturally travel in a straight line at a constant speed (first law). When they speed up, slow down, or change direction, it's because of a force (second law), which in space, is gravity.

      They are correlated by the process that entangles them. Two particles can only become entangled if they are in causal contact with one another, either directly or by sending another particle between them at or below the speed of light. Once they are entangled, even though they are in superposition, their results once measured and compared will be correlated. The entanglement process (sending information) occurs within the bounds of the speed of light; the correlation of measurements after the particles are entangled is not bound by the speed of light.

    Dudes, you need to stop talking about this wave function collapse bs. There is no such thing. The wave function is like the probability distribution. It remains completely unchanged by a single measurement. Whether I throw a 1 or a 5 doesn't change probability distribution of fair dice at all. It remains 1/6 for all possible outcomes. The same is true for a wave function. The individual measurement does not change what is an abstract average property of the quantum mechanical ensemble.

    • @chrishorst2124

      After you roll the die, though, you end up with a specific number. Say you roll a 5. That 5 is the value of the die at that time. It will only change if you roll it again. In classical physics, the outcome of the die is determined before you throw it by the distributions of momentum and energy in the universe. A quantum analog of the die is not determined that way; it is truly random, even Laplace's Demon couldn't predict what the outcome would be ahead of time. Our term for when the outcome is picked from the possibilities is called the collapse of the wave function. It may be explained by a superposition of universes, it may be explained by non-local hidden variables, or it may be explained by some other interpretation. However, that does not negate the usefulness of the term "wave function collapse" any more than General Relativity negates the usefulness of the term "gravitational force." Might I suggest you find a healthier way to handle your insecurities than by starting semantic arguments on the internet.

      @@chrishorst2124 After I do a quantum mechanical experiment I end up with a specific quantum of energy, momentum, angular momentum and charge. That's no different from dice. That the outcome of a classical experiment is predetermined is religious bullshit from the 18th and 19th century. SOME physical outcomes in a GALILEAN framework are sufficiently long term predictable to make it appear as if the future were completely determined. Short term orbital mechanics is that way. Since there are only a dozen integrable Hamiltonians, this is a rather insular result. Most problems in classical mechanics do NOT have long term predictability. In a relativistic universe, however, even this is a mirage. I do, for instance, not know what is happening on Mars right now. A signal would take over ten minutes to get here. This means that if something in my future depends on the value of that signal, then it is principally unpredictable. Nothing in the universe can tell me that. But if nothing can tell us, then how would "nature know"? The inevitable conclusions is that "she doesn't".

      @@chrishorst2124 After I do a quantum mechanical experiment I end up with a specific quantum of energy, momentum, angular momentum and charge. That's no different from dice. That the outcome of a classical experiment is predetermined is religious bullshit from the 18th and 19th century. SOME physical outcomes in a GALILEAN framework are sufficiently long term predictable to make it appear as if the future were completely determined. Short term orbital mechanics is that way. Since there are only a dozen integrable Hamiltonians, this is a rather insular result. Most problems in classical mechanics do NOT have long term predictability. In a relativistic universe, however, even this is a mirage. I do, for instance, not know what is happening on Mars right now. A signal would take over ten minutes to get here. This means that if something in my future depends on the value of that signal, then it is principally unpredictable. Nothing in the universe can tell me that ahead of time. But if nothing can tell us, then how would "nature know" now what will happen then? The inevitable conclusions is that "she doesn't". There is no god mode in a relativistic universe and the future is principally open because of spacelike separated events.

Please keep reading the textbooks. Eventually you will get it.

    Yes ! where do I start? I need to take some courses. I owned and operated a optical thin films facility, UV VIS IR. I am great at cause and effect however in multi layer dielectric films I had software that I used for design and had the tools to verify and adjust. The details would be maybe TMI For this message. I see these things in nature since I could see and my chemistry and craft was apprenticed. Use it or lose it..should I start from the beginning like elementary/middle/high school breeze through what I know ask what I don't because I used formulas on a TI-35 but did not know what exactly those formulas meant "exactly" That is all for now or I will write a novel.... Help :) and thanks, Be well :)

    The frame dragging concept gave me an idea, an inertioergonetic engine... in other words gravplating. It uses objects the size of blood cells but at a high velocity to generate artificial ergospheres and therefore gravity.

      That would work, I think, as long as it's distributed properly. The hardest part would be keeping them spinning at ultra-relativistic speeds while staying in place and not disintegrating from centrifugal inertia.

    Instantaneous nearfield electromagnetic fields are real and have been demonstrated both theoretically using Maxwell equations and experimentally. We present a paper below that shows that information in these fields propagate instantaneously. See links below for more information. This phenomena can also be explained using using the Pilot Wave interpretation quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP). In this interpretation HUP is: Δx Δp = h, where Δx and Δp correspond to average values. So in HUP: Δx Δp = h, where Δp=mΔv, thus HUP becomes: Δx Δv = h/m, where m is an effective mass due to momentum. In the nearfield, where the field is created, Δx=0, therefore Δv=infinity. In the farfield, HUP: Δx Δp = h, where p = h/λ. HUP then becomes: Δx h/λ = h, or Δx=λ. Also in the farfield HUP becomes: λmΔv=h, thus Δv=h/(mλ). Since p=h/λ, then Δv=p/m. Also since p=mc, then Δv=c. So in summary, in the nearfield Δv=infinity, and in the farfield Δv=c, where Δv is the average velocity of the photon according to Pilot Wave theory. But according to the Copenhagen interpretation, the above argument does not make sense, since Δv corresponds to uncertainties in their values. In addition to the Pilot Wave interpretation, only the Ensemble Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics also interprets the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) in terms of averages. But the Ensemble Interpretation does not support instantaneous propagation of information, whereas Pilot Wave theory does. Therefore, other than Pilot Wave theory, no other interpretation of Quantum Mechanics supports instantaneous propagation of information as demonstrated in our experiment, and interprets the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in terms of averages. *Electromagnetic pulse experiment paper showing information propagates instantaneously: www.techrxiv.org/doi/full/10.36227/techrxiv.170862178.82175798/v1 *RUclips presentation of above arguments: ruclips.net/video/sePdJ7vSQvQ/видео.html <ruclips.net/video/sePdJ7vSQvQ/видео.html> *More extensive paper for the above arguments: William D.

      Pilot waves, if done right, give the exact same outcomes as Copenhagen. The only difference is that Copenhagen does not promote a mathematical abstract to a physical reality. Bohm did... with the consequence that he made unscientific statements about reality. One can not observe his pilot waves with any physical apparatus. We usually don't make statements like that in science.

      @@williamwalker39 There are no particles in nature. There are only quanta of energy. We are teaching this correctly at the high school level. The delusions about what we are detecting in quantum mechanics don't set in until somebody takes a poorly taught QM 101 class. So let's say I detect a 1.6eV (green) photon with a photomultiplier tube. What does that tell me about an invisible guide wave, exactly????

      @@williamwalker39 I don't have to "believe" in the standard model. I designed some of the detector components that are being used to test it. ;-) My detector hardware doesn't detect particles. It only detects depositions of energy in small pieces of matter. If you would take the time to read e.g. the freely available CERN detector technical design reports, then you would learn that all "particle detectors" are merely detecting energy, momentum, angular momentum and charges. Why these quantities? Because these are the locally conserved physical quantities that can be assigned as physical properties to the free field after they have been detected as changes of the properties of the detector hardware. No "particle detector" has ever detected a particle position or trajectory. We are detecting "particle tracks". How these emerge as macroscopic phenomena from single quantum measurements has been elaborated by Mott in his 1929 paper on the emergence of alpha-ray tracks from wave mechanics. It's basically a consequence of conditional probabilities in consecutive weak measurements. I understand that your mind wants to assign little pieces of matter to these locally conserved quantities and it imagines little cannon balls causing those tracks in detectors, but that's just the same fallacy that gave rise to the phlogiston and the aether in the past. It's a mirage created by poor intellectual habits, not an actual expression of experimentally verifiable fact.
