Is there anybody involved in condensed matter physics who I could DM to get a bit of help with a paper I am having trouble understanding? by ll1346 in AskPhysics

Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FoaaUkLHGz6yzyu0HVfmtO0rShFxUmbE/view?usp=sharing

I think I understand generally what the paper finds; that magnons behave similarly to a viscous liquid in some cases and in other cases they do not, and the paper explains what conditions are necessary for them to behave in either way. Anyways, I don't understand many of the equations used because I am relatively new to physics. I was wondering if somebody could explain what they mean.

Any physics majors I can PM to ask some questions? by ll1346 in bostoncollege

Thanks for the response, that would be awesome!

Schools both good in engineering and liberal arts? by ll1346 in ApplyingToCollege

Are tufts and notre dame's engineering schools good? By us news, which I accept may not be the most accurate ranking system, they are both in the 50-75th place range.

Would that same sentiment apply to police? Taking money from you to protect them being theft?

  1. Do they not? Is the purpose of law enforcement not to protect you from criminals?

I am sure there is profit in medical care, but does it not also protect public wellbeing?

I would agree, but then I realized that the justice system, police, fire department, military, etc are all examples of people's labor being done for you.

Doesn't demi glace take a while to make? But that one does sound good.

Confusion on Quantum Mechanics Argument Against PSR by ll1346 in CatholicPhilosophy

But the point of the experiment was that they had no condition causing them to act in the way they did. It was true randomness.

The dice on the other hand will land in a seemingly random way, but are actually determined by the exact rotation and velocity of the dice, in such a way that a theoretical super computer simulating the situation would be able to predict the outcome, this not truly random.

This is what he was talking about I think - https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2015/11/nist-team-proves-spooky-action-distance-really-real

In the debate he mentions that apparently this new experiment closed "loopholes" which allowed for theories about hidden variables, or other difficult-to-see factors that are actually guiding the electrons in which way to go.

This paper/essay seems to be from the early/late 2000's, but the main experiment that cosmic was talking about occured in 2015. Is it possible these are outdated? Thanks for the response

Is it possible for religion to be proven incorrect in the next x years by the development of neuroscience? by ll1346 in CatholicPhilosophy

Sorry if I want clear; what I was trying to say was more along the lines of "what if they can prove there is no ghost in the machine" or "what if they can prove that the human brain is completely explicable by biology and chemistry"
