  1. You can't prove Newton's laws of motion using Schrodingers equation. In fact, Schrodingers equation directly contradicts Newton's laws of motion. But, if you solve the time-dependent schrodingers equation for a certain potential, you should find that the evolution of the wave function with regards to time should have higher regions NEAR where Newton's laws predict them. It's much easier to show Newton's laws are approximations using GR, however...
  2. How can an atom be compared to a bounded vacuum?
  3. The positron and the electron are anti-particles of each other. When a particle and it's anti-particle collide it creates a photon. Simple stuff. No "huge blocks", no "well bounded things", just light.
  4. Yes, but your idea requires something to be pushing the atmosphere towards the earth...and that is not valid no matter how you look at it. And electrons and positrons can't technically be "passed" through a wire, what happens when you transmit electricity through wires is that the electrons on a wire are nudged off on one end when you put a new one on.
  5. Let me tell you something...my 6 year old brother can do math, science works regardless of whether we understand it, and that last sentence is such an amazingly genius tautology that there is no disputing it! And guess what buddy? I see nothing about your math to distinguish it from classical logic and set theory.
  6. Well, there are everything-from-nothing theories that allow mass and energy to come into our universe WITHOUT violating conservation laws. It's complicated stuff, you might want to check into it. The nucleus has charge, charge creates an electric field, and the electric field can, again, be given in terms of it's potential.
  7. I get what your saying now...but for what you're describing (earth getting displaced because of the pressure) won't happen because your thinking of gravity pushing the atmosphere on earth, when really it's pulling it.
  8. Haha or if you want to go WAAAY out there, all of the water in front of you was "teleported" (I guess you could call it that...) somewhere else for a few seconds. But the chances of that happening is pretty much zero. It'd take longer than the age of entire universe for you to have a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance of that happening.
  9. Where did it happen? Because if it was in a lake or something similar, your answer might be a natural gas leak.
  10. And why do you think the law of the conservation of energy is wrong?
  11. If by surviving you mean "not coming apart", the energy is called potential energy. The atom stays together mainly because of the strong nuclear force. This force has an energy potential. You can find the energy potential of the force by solving the Diff. Equ. equation F=-Grad V, where F is the force and V is the potential energy. So, you could say the energy the atom needs to survive comes from the strong nuclear force.
  12. You didn't answer the questions, You just changed the word "space" to "vacuum"
  13. I've always thought it's because life is possible in any number of dimensions less than 3...and the more dimensions there are the more chaotic behavior becomes...so 3 physical dimensions seems to be the optimal choice for a universe to sustain life. And if you take the existence of the multiverse as an axiom, you can say we are here to question why we live in 3 dimensions because we live in 3 dimensions. It's more of an "I'm lucky to have been in this world" type of thing...that's my opinion atleast...
  14. Not really...rights are definied as being something that is just and morally good. I can't see why gay marriage isn't just, and I don't see why it isn't morally good either (unless you hate queers).
  15. When I said small that's what I meant...and you will become infinitely thing...your length would become 0. You wouldn't feel anything if your smashed into nothingness and come back again, because from your point of point everything is just getting longer...that's the principle of relativity.
  16. Now, assuming your fairy godmother allows you to move at the speed of light, you wouldn't see anything. You'd be too small
  17. They are only approximations to GR. They don't accurately predict the motion of certain planets (such as mercury), they don't predict how much light curves around objects. Newton's laws are background dependent. Newton's laws only deal with a flat spacetime...you can go on and on with this list...
  18. I tried to write out an equation that showed how gravity effected the electromagnetic field once. I did it by giving the electric field in terms of the particles and their charges that were in the field, and applying the equations of motion in a gravitational field to them...but when you have more than one moving particle, it is EXTREMELY complicated, and I soon gave up...and that was before I added in quantum effects!
  19. If any of you want to try to create your own GUT, you might want to start of by giving maxwells equations in terms of the metric tensor. That's pretty much all you have to do, because that unifies gravity and the electromagnetic field. That's what Kaluza did, he realized that if you assume spacetime to be 5-dimensional (4 spatial and 1 time), then you can give maxwells equations in terms of the extra spatial dimension. And after that, it's easy to unify the electromagnetic field with all the other fields. But on a side note...if you can do that I'll bow down and kiss your feet.
  20. We haven't found it...that's the point. The only reason it came about was because GR makes predictions that are different from experiment...it got blown WAY our of proportions when layman physics books started mentioning it and making it seem like it's the next sliced bread.
  21. Dark matter/energy came about because what we observe is different from what GR tells us we should be observing.
  22. HAHAHAHAHA...I'm sorry...but all the data NASA collects on this kind of stuff gives indirect evidence of black holes. Check it out if you don't believe me. And black holes definitely don't go against the laws of relativity, in fact, Relativity predicts black holes...it's all implied in the most well known aspect of GR--so well known, in fact, that people with no real knowledge of GR besides the fact that gravity is caused by "curved space know about it--the Schwarzchild solution.
  23. I'll tell you what I think is wrong with it...dark matter/energy
  24. Bipolar junction transistors generally only have three gates though...
  25. I don't know of any links though...try wikipedia or just try and google it.
