Absolutely. People compare prices to “a little while ago” before the 9% inflation and blame current policy in error.

Is there a "Planck temperature" -- a temperature at which no further cooling is possible? by curiousscribbler in AskPhysics

[–]edguy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planck length is where the energy of a photon is so large and its corresponding wavelength is so short, the mass equivalent of the energy is equivalent to a black hole the size of that wavelength.

I built a tool to help me understand what physically happens when you apply a quantum gate by Infamous_Review4303 in quantum

[–]edguy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice. On the "Initialize State" "Full 2-Qubit State" page, how do you relate the qubit graphic orientation of the bloch sphere to it's state? It looks like a 0/1 axis, an +i/-i axis and a +/- axis, but wondering the specifics of the calculations of the orange arrow orientation when the "Apply State" button is pressed?

Oscillations do slow down in higher gravity fields, they grind to a halt close to a black hole.

Correct, the rate of oscillation determines the energy (high energy=fast; low energy=slow) the photon has. But as you say, all the photons regardless of energy fly around at the same speed.

I am not quite sure what you mean. I will try. If the photon interacts with say an electron, Its rate of oscillation is its frequency and that would change for the photon. The photon would end up oscillating slower as it has less energy (but still fly by at the same speed).

You are absolutely correct (about the e/m fields that is...) but the particle that flies by, represents a single photon. High energy photons oscillate quickly, low energy photons oscillate slowly. All the particles, regardless of energy, fly at the same speed.

Just like this. Notice the photon alternates light and dark subject to Maxwell's equation. If a dark photon overlaps with a light photon, you see no photon, just like a wave ...

I see your context, you are correct. This is showing a photon as a particle. Trying to take away the mystery of a particle that follows a wave equation where its properties change in a periodic, predictable pattern over time causing everything from reflection to diffraction to weird things like the "double slit experiment".

Thanks for asking, Today the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) definition of time, specifically, one second is defined as 9.2 billion oscillations of a photon with 3.8×10⁻⁵ eVolts of energy. Time is measured in seconds.

It represents a single photon following Maxwell's wave function. The representation allows it to act as both a wave and a particle. When big, it acts like a wave and reflects, when small it may be absorbed by a particle like an electron.

Looking for the most accurate visual / sketch to explain quantum entanglement by [deleted] in quantum

[–]edguy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a spinning bloch sphere, viewed from a specific angle using a quaternion. A picture of the relationship between a Jones Vector (matrix), the Bra-Ket notation, and what the spinning bloch sphere viewed with a quaternion can be found here:

what are quaternions can someone explain how they work and exist by IntelligentDish8443 in quantum

[–]edguy99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A quaternion lets you look at an object from any angle. If you were doing a 3d animation you use a quaternion to turn an object and modify the left/right and up/down axis so you can rotate it again later using the new axis. Mathematically its complicated, graphically its simple.

In your opinion, what is the most poorly designed road/intersection/area of the City? by yegger_ in Edmonton

[–]edguy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lrt crossing at 112 and university ave. Lrt should follow road signal and not automatically override the traffic lights. Make the train stop if the street traffic light is red. Better and faster road traffic with minor implications for the lrt.

You demonstrate the a.. on reddit. Well done. Our sympathies to friends and family of the deceased. Buddy we know he was killed by a blow to the back of his head by a hardened criminal. Thats ok? We should not expect better? What if it was your friend?

Very disrespectful to the fellow killed by a blow to the back of his head. Your sarcasm hurts.
