I didn't even know I did that sorry

It's a good start for General Philosophy though.

Cat owners know something about it though..

LOL.

Cats are known to collapse wave functions. That's their job in this world.

What does any of this have to do with 'N' ?
My cat wants an answer, or else she'll step all over the keyboard

You don't think it's a pretty letter of the alphabet N? Not quite as pretty as K or Q, but it's not bad looking

It's the standard dummy number, maybe it stands for 'Nature,' maybe it stands for 'nothing'...

I stand for nothing. I like it.

It has an anti-particle, И.

Learned something new today, thanks!

Just make sure you stand for the judge, they really don't like that 😁

Agreed. Interesting, at the very least.

P(N)=И

P²(N)=N

=> P²=I

Is there an anti-nothing? I mean, an anti-nothing worth distinguishing from the usual nothing?

Always do. Irrespective of how much respect they deserve. They're there for a reason. Plus... people can be touchy. Arguments are not.

I don't get this at all.    It's filled me with wonder. 

Should I worship it?

I understand you got a new cat. Is that right?

I love pets, but I can't be trusted with them.

Neither do I. I'm just wondering where we can get from just nothing.  Maybe something's in store for us all.

We can get into a discussion on pets.

I have two dogs. They are very good to people. But not between themselves. Fortunately, my house layout allows for an easy separation. So, one is a king of front yard, and the other of backyard.

Would monopoles have anti-particles?

No.
I had two, but one sister passed away 2 years ago.
The other is now very lonely and very needy.

Oh, and all my furniture needs replacing because it's all scratched.

You could ask this one:

There are several ways to intepret this, and one of them is very wrong.

In the short term, yes. I've got friends who trusted me with their dog every now and then when they were away. I'm told I'm pretty good with pets when it's just for, say, a month, or some weeks.

In the long term, no. I can't afford taking care of a pet on a daily basis. Having a pet is an enormous responsibility.

It seems like it was yesterday when you mentioned it.

CPT symmetry suggests they would. When you include magnetic monopoles in Maxwell's equations, you have both electric charges q, and magnetic charges g. For every particle with charge q there must be the corresponding anti-particle of charge -q. So for every particle with magnetic charge g there should be an anti-particle of magnetic charge -g, or else CPT symmetry would not hold. We think CPT symmetry holds. It would be a total re-think of quantum field theory if CPT symmetry failed.

For more details, ask @Markus Hanke.

Yes, indeed. For that reason, I didn't have a dog until I retired and moved to the island 20 years ago. Dreamed of having a dog all my life, but always lived and worked in big cities... Now the conditions are perfect, for them and for me.

I don’t think this is even possible at all - CPT symmetry is fundamentally implied by local Lorentz invariance, and vice versa as well. You couldn’t have either symmetry without the other, and I’d think this is quite irrespective of the details of the model involved.

I must admit this made me smile I’m just an ordinary guy who does all this as a hobby, purely as a matter of personal interest…not sure how it came to happen that the real experts are asking me technical questions now

Just to add I have a daughter with special needs who is very unpredictable. She will often walk past my PC and hit buttons as fast as a Ninja!

I have to be very careful when on teams calls with work while she is around.

So lets talk -  N
