    Dark magic. Makes no sense at all, but at the same time in the end you see it kind of makes sense to introduce all these structures, they're pretty and give rise to all the other laws from such a simple and basic concept.

    Thank you for the lecture professor, So, both methods (Equation of Motion and Layman’s representation) don’t work with interacting particles. But how do theorists calculate the spectral functions like XAS and XPS for very complicated materials? Is it done using cumulant Green functions or something else? My question might not be well-formed, but I'm completely new to this field. and if there any materials can help a beginner's like me I will appreciate. Thank you for considering my question.

    • @drmitchellsphysicschannel2955
      @drmitchellsphysicschannel2955 Месяц назад

      Good question! In principle, equations of motion and Lehmann representation are generally applicable and can be applied to interacting systems. In practice, straight application of equations of motion does not work because you just generate an exponentially-large system of equations to solve, so it does not get you anywhere. However, EoMs are used to produce approximation schemes for interacting Green's functions in theoretical physics research (for example, the so-called "hierarchical equations of motion" method, HEOM). Lehmann is however very general and is widely used for interacting Green's functions -- but this is all done numerically. Exact diagonalization and Tensor network methods for example would compute the matrix elements of creation and annihilation operators directly and do the Lehmann sum to get a discrete representation of the spectral function. Depending on the application, the poles of the spectrum might then be broadened to form a continuous representation of the "true" spectrum. I did not cover it in these lectures, but there are other ways to compute the Green's function which might be used in materials science, for example computing imaginary-time / Matsubara Green's functions using continuous time Monte Carlo methods.

    a bit off subject, but, uh, from the popcorn model of reality: make the universe manageable by applying simplicity. our universe can be divided into 2 parts. the beginning and the end (dissipation). now imagine a higher pitched harmonic of our reality: This is the realm of dark matter. the ratio in the relative energy difference between the adjacent harmonics has a magnitude of between 10e64 and 10e72 7 levels of force exists within these harmonics: time* gravity weak strong em human thought process* big (supreme)* *not recognized as a force our universe exists from the interaction of these forces em is the dominant force in our measured universe. the most massive dark matter particle is equal in mass to the least massive detected particle pair (neutrino/antineutrino). shall i go on in a different post or continue here or just shut up?

    The Barn Door Paradox The setting out of the barn door paradox (14:40) would be a lot simpler starting with the back doors of the barns on the right and left halves of the diagram closed at the start, as in the previous hand drawn sequence, and remaining closed until the front of the ladder gets there. At this point the back door snaps open. At that same time the front door on the left half of the diagram snaps shut. The one on the right half has to wait until the ladder has cleared before shutting. Each door then only undergoes one event (opening for the back door and shutting for the front one). At 19:00 you clearly explain that the fallacy in the apparent paradox is the assumption that the two barn doors both move in tandem in the two frames. In fact, an observer on the ladder does not see the two barn door moves as simultaneous. The back door move is first and the front door follows. However, at 26:00 you don't close the loop by spelling out that in the primed (ladder) frame of reference the two door events occur at different times. You focus instead on the length of the ladder, which is the source of people's confusion. In the ladder frame the back door move is the rightmost red dot. The front door move is an event at the intersection of the left blue vertical with the x'=0 axis, which is some time later (if I understand this correctly, which is by no means a given). This is why the ladder gets through without mishap. A couple of other points on this sequence: 1. It is not clear why the black x=ct line is there. Presumably it is explained in an earlier lecture, and might have something to do with how the x' (i.e. ct'= 0 line) is drawn. 2. At 24:05, it is not obvious why B is shorter than Bo as it is clearly longer on the diagram. Presumably, the length units of x and x' must be different. i.e. 1 metre on the x' axis is not the same length on this diagram as 1 metre on x. Thanks for the video. It certainly got me thinking. Whether along the right lines or not I will leave to others.

    In the first example, I don't understand how that is the only curve that satisfies the boundary conditions... wouldn't the ball also be at O and T if it didn't move, just sat there for the time it would take to go up and come back down? I am confused because (I think?) the derivation explicitly left out the starting force. I understand why if it is moving it has to follow that curve in order to land precisely at time T given the constant g. I don't understand how we derive from just the boundary conditions + Newton's laws that any movement took place....

    Could anyone shed some light on how to prove [H, S^2tot] = 0 and [H, S^ztot] = 0 at the end of the video? We can see it is indeed this case in the 2 spin system, because we can express H in terms of S^2tot. And We know [S^ztot, S^2tot] = 0, so they all commute. But here we cannot explicitly express the Hamiltonian, how can I see it? Thanks for your help in advance.

    Dear Dr. Mitchell, I solved the Q 2.1Charged planes problem using images method. Calculating the electric field from two pontual charges (the real one and its image) in a generic point on the conductor plane and then obtaining the electrical densitiy vector is possible to get the expression for the surface charge distribution directly without any derivatives. But by using this method I got a slightly different result from yours ( my denominator is 2 pi instead of only pi). Would you mind to check if something is wrong? By the way your classes are excelent and I would like to ask you for a good reference to perform computational physics (I intend to make animations of electrical charge moving under different electric/magnetic field)? Thanks in advance, Marcio.

    In the two pulleys example, it seems like the second pulley (the lower one) becomes an accelerated frame of reference when the mass m1 is accelerating. Do we need to account for that by changing the value of g for the second pulley to g plus the second time derivative of q1?

  • @realdarthplagueis
    @realdarthplagueis 7 месяцев назад

    Great video! Probably the best explanation I have ever seen of these ideas. I have one (perhaps stupid) question: If the paths around the path of least action creates constructive interference, why can't paths around (very near) other paths do the same? In your example you drew 3 vectors whose sum was nearly zero, and therefore had destructive interference, but would one not see constructive interference for vectors near (similar) any of the individual paths in that example? So I guess I don't understand why the sum of these vectors _around_ the path of least action is so special, given the argument about the sum of the vectors in your example.

  • @JP-re3bc
    @JP-re3bc 7 месяцев назад

    This lecture would improve a lot IMHO if the speaker focused on the concept of "action" before stating the Lagrangian. Explain what is going on with all the trajectories, what is the problem mathematically. As it is action remains something arbitrary and mystical, while the Lagrangian pops up "deos ex machina" of sorts.

    The paradoxes are actual contradictions that indicate that the principle of relativity is false. The Einstein mathematics is faulty and produces mathematical contradictions that can not be removed. So his theory is actually invalid as shown by these real unresolvable paradoxes.

    At around 8.40 you draw the Density of states of an uniform 1D chain. Is it correct ??? I say this because for an infinite 1D lattice you get Van Hove singularity at the band edges, which I believe in 1D is non-integrable. If I take a tight-binding 1D lattice with nearest neighbour hopping, these singularities will occur at -2t and 2t, where t is the hopping parameter.

  • @felixgep2608

    Really nice video! Thank you very much. But what I'm missing and what I initially searched for, is an intuitive explanation, on WHY the Lagrangian is T-V. Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not clear for me, what the difference in the Energies has to do with the Action of the Path. Does anyone have a link to an explanation?

    • @drmitchellsphysicschannel2955
      @drmitchellsphysicschannel2955 8 месяцев назад

      Well, using L=T-V is equivalent to F=ma. One could similarly ask WHY is it F=ma? There are infinitely many logically consistent theories of the universe... but only one of them is the correct one that we observe in Nature. WHY is this the right one? I think there is no answer to that. I don't think an intuitive answer really helps, philosophically, since in the end your intuition is just a learned expectation based on observation. Indeed, as I discuss later in this course, when you take into account special relativity, the Lagrangian is NOT just L=T-V, so anything based on intuition to explain this result must fail at a more precise level of theory. Special relativity is not understood intuitively. Similarly with quantum mechanics etc.

"We have to do all the calculation asuming broken symmetry situation, this is the way we divide the lattice into two sublattice". Could you explain this a bit? How should i relate symmetry breaking with sublattices. I know that deviding into two sublattices is good technic in antiferromagnets. But are we doing this because of symmetry breaking? Thanks
