So plebeian. The sign of a plebeian who is deficient both in logic and in emotion.

Beauty is a concept made of the logical architecture of your neural system. Determination of beauty is a higher algorithm and it is perfectly valid to take the concepts of logic as inputs and they often have a high output.

That transport equation really doesn't fall into any definition I can think of for beauty. The fact that an equation describes something shouldn't make it particularly beautiful, since that is what an equation is supposed to do in the first place. The beauty comes from its uniqueness, cleverness and brevity. So >>7006089
is not very beautiful, it is a list of interactions. On the other hand, Feynman diagrams that succinctly describe all of those interactions are beautiful. Likewise, the beauty of the Dirac equation >>7018544 isn't in the equation itself, but in guessing the wavefunction is a spinor.

Then you'd have to add <span class="math">\frac{1}{4}F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}[/spoiler] to make sense. It's just the special case for the QED lagrangian.

I think this is one of Ramanujan's discovery to calcuculate pi fast. it's amazing.

I covered it in my second week of complex analysis, but you would probably see it before then.

See I'm math guy and I never did quantum physics but is the uncertainty principle just a specific form of this result in Functional Analysis.
If so in quantum physics do you just model momentum/position as linear operators on R^3?

The momentum operator is just differentiation, which becomes self-adjoint when you restrict the domain sufficiently.

new on /sci/, can someone explain how you enter mathematical symbols here?
do you add an \ in front of your symbol like you sometimes do?

No, it says -1/2; should be +1/2.
The formula becomes correct if you replace the left hand side with Γ(n), which is (n-1)!

>using <span class="math">m_0[/spoiler] for rest mass like there is any other mass than rest mass.
Plus it's not really beautiful. The beautiful part of special relativity is the derivation of the Lorentz/Poincaré group from very simple assumptions.
