There is a phase space formulation of QM but I am pretty sure there is no notion of a wavefunction therein. I am not particularly familiar with it however.

Why am I unable to report posts? Honestly most of the content posted these days deserves to be deleted but I seem to have lost the ability to report the shit that goes on here.

Also, lets make this a legitimate scientific thread. Post random questions that don't deserve their own thread.

Discuss this with a medical professional. If you personally feel marijuana is adversely affecting you then you should stop smoking prior to having this discussion.

Marijuana can increase anxiety and paranoia and--strictly anecdotally--I can say without a doubt that the times in my life where I was smoking a substantial amount of marijuana I was less social than the times I have abstained for noticeable time periods.

There is simply no way a theory predicting something called the smuon sneutrino is remotely valid.

The capacity to cause change.

I was just trying to show how asinine this nigga's rambling and coherent post was.

Oh yeah? Show me a cup of water with a volume of -1 liter.

It's perfectly valid and consistent to say that negative numbers don't exist and you want nothing to do with them.

After all, what makes you so dogmatic about the existence of negative numbers in particular? I don't see you insisting that negatives be used in every situation.
Once you insist on saying that numbers can't come by themselves and that they have to come in pairs related by some arbitrary magnitude interpretation then why not say that numbers have to come in 4s or 8s or groups of n?

Face facts, kid. Negative numbers don't have a leg to stand on. They're illogical, arbitrary and impure.

Furthermore, everything in physics you can accomplish with negative numbers you can also accomplish with subtraction. So blow it out your ass :)

Have you taken proof based courses before, OP?

If not I would caution against Modern and Real in the same semester. Depending on your professors either class is prone to getting very heavy, very quickly. The students the year before me in Modern only got as far as quotient groups or so (which is lol baby's first group theory), my class was doing rings a month in, a concept that many schools would introduce in a second Modern Algebra course.

The same goes with Real, if your course is simply meant to develop the theory behind differential and integral calculus you should be fine but some professors can easily push through into borderline grad school material in a Real 1 course.

Your doctor sounds like a pill-pushing hack. I am not personally familiar with, nor can I find any documentation of, benzos being diagnosed to deal with the "come down" of amphetamines.

I can't refer you to any specific books but most of the "big name" research topics are listed on this Wikipedia page. Layman's explanations of all of it are more than available.

Let x be the left identity and let y be the right identity:

x=xy=y

Proof is complete by transitivity.

Change the "possible" to "impossible" in the final line and it makes a lot more sense.

I agree. If I have an "aha!" moment and suddenly blow through a chapter I had thought would take quite some time I fail to see the point in analyzing it for another hour unless I have nothing else productive to do.

Likewise, if you don't get something then you shouldn't stop just because you spent x hours studying.

>what would be his diagnosis?

If he is strongly associating colors with people he may well have synesthesia. Does he claim to have similar experiences with numbers, letters and or musical tones?

At the energies currently relevant in our universe the symmetry in the electroweak interaction is broken, giving rise to two unique forces.

If we observe a process, it is happening subject to four distinct interactions.

It is hypothesized that at sufficiently high energy all of the forces can be unified into one, doesn't change the fact that at our energy levels there are four of them.

You can use quantum mechanics to analyse macroscopic phenomena. Plainly speaking, your answers will be infinitesimally "more correct" than classical mechanics.

You cannot use classical mechanics to analyse quantum phenomena. Insofar as this I guess you could say QM is "right" and CM is "wrong."

inb4 someone brings up QFT as being more right, OP doesn't give a shit.

Don't know.

Don't know.

Computers can do arithmetic, they cannot do math.

Yes, there is a widespread sentiment that we might be able to "teach" a computer the abstract thought required to independently prove something but that day is certainly not today.

The click and scraping sound of chalk on a blackboard makes me smarter. I can't explain it, but I genuinely do work better on a chalkboard.

I was once--as an undergrad--given a piece of advice by a mathematical physicist I knew: if you are ever given the opportunity to take course in linear algebra, do so.

Three linear algebra courses later, that advice certainly did not fail me.

You should be able to do this easily after completing any quantum mechanics course.

Most people on /sci are undergrads I would wager.
