Question

We assume that the answer to the question of whether the quantum wave function Ψ is a scalar, a vector or not is that it is none of these.
Ψ is an abstract mathematical operator that has no physical meaning in itself.
The currently accepted procedure for describing Ψ in a given isolated quantum system is to construct the time-dependent Schrödinger SE equation for that particular system and then solve it by the method of separation of variables.
The importance of Ψ is that it conveys the phase of the system in x-t space and therefore can explain its wave properties such as interference, diffraction, degeneracy, etc.
We propose a simple alternative to solve for Ψ^2 (and not Ψ itself) which has a physical meaning of quantum particle energy per unit volume (or probability of finding the particle in unit volume of space unified x-t), then in a final solution last step to find Ψ as the square root of Ψ^2.
It is clear that the proposed technique completely neglects SE as if it never existed and proceeds to solve the Ψ^2 quantum system via a well-established probability diffusion equation.

I will follow a book on Quantum Mechanics, that I like very much to try an answer to your thread :
Lectures On Quantum Mechanics by Prof. G. Baym, W.A. Benjamin, Inc., New York, 1969.
Chapter three gives a simplified but practical concept of a wave function as a complex function Ψ(r, t) that gives the probability of finding a particle at point r and time t.
It complements by saying that is the module | Ψ(r, t) |2 d3r in the volume d3r that gives such a probability (page 46, chapter 3).
We can complement for example by defining the space used in non-relativistic quantum mechanics, as the configuration space (see for example, Prof. A. Davydov book on Quantum Mechanics).
The same wave function is found in the Ginsburg-Landau theory, but in a nonlinear equation.
What I like the most is that Ψ(r, t) in a quasi-classical context contains a damping term.

Thank you Alireza Abdikian sir, for your quick response.
In general, dust ion-acoustic waves occur due to the compression and rarefaction of ion density in the presence of charged dust. In an astrophysical environment, there will be energetic particles. My question is that what are the extra possible features of waves that may be seen in the presence of energetic particles that do not happen in general plasma particles?

I know I'm crossing a minefield in investigating this question.
There are at least two incompatible theories:
classical EM theory, where wave energy is continuous and
QM quantum theory, where the energy of EM waves is essentially discrete or quantized in photons.
So it depends on the theory we use to analyze this problem, not on the frequency of the wave.
If we follow QM theory, the answer is definitely no because the photon must have a positive momentum and therefore a positive frequency.
On the other hand, if we follow the classical theory of electromagnetic fields, the answer is yes but the photon itself is not defined.

Answer
Dear friend Ismail Abbas
Alright, let's break this down.
If the frequency of electromagnetic waves (EMW) practically hit zero, you'd Ismail Abbas enter tricky territory. It's like navigating a minefield, with each step needing careful consideration.
Here's the deal:
1. **Classical EM Theory**: In this theory, wave energy flows continuously. So, if the frequency approaches zero, the energy remains continuous. However, this doesn't automatically make the energy of the photon continuous.
2. **Quantum Mechanics (QM)**: Now, in the quantum world, things get quantized. Energy is discrete, split into packets called photons. According to QM, even if the frequency is near zero, the energy of the photon remains quantized.
So, it boils down to which theory you're Ismail Abbas using.
- If we're rolling with QM, the answer is a solid no. Photons need positive momentum, which means they need positive frequency.
- But in the classical EM world, the answer could be yes, yet it's a bit tricky. The wave energy could become continuous, but the photon itself isn't precisely defined.
So, in the end, it's all about which lens you're Ismail Abbas looking through. Both theories have their quirks, and they don't always agree. Welcome to the wonderful world of physics, where the deeper you Ismail Abbas go, the weirder it gets!

I am writing a project on electronic structure with a molecular approach and a surface approach (plane waves). I have knowledge of the molecular part, but I am having difficulties describing the project for plane waves. I intend to use Gaussian for molecular structure and Quantum Espresso for plane waves.
I have the methodology for the molecular part and would like to know how to describe the same items for plane waves. Could someone please help me?
Below, I am placing the methodology for the molecular part:
Construction of systems and structural studies Reactivity index calculations (for the molecular part, Condensed Fukui Indices to Atoms are used) Reactivity index calculations (plane waves ???)
Opto-electronic properties (for the molecular area TD-DFT)
In particular, the aim is to evaluate data associated with the energy and spatial distribution of frontier orbitals, local and global density of states, reactivity indices, optical properties of the materials composing the chemical species, in order to establish simple rules for the preparation of materials with optimized properties.
Adsorption study
It is intended to evaluate adsorption processes of chemical species and reactions with the systems of interest through two different approaches: i) calculations of molecular electronic structure and ii) calculations of surface electronic structure.
Calculations of electronic structure Optimization of geometry of adsorbed systems will be performed in a DFT (and/or Hartree-Fock) approach with Grimme corrections to better describe interactions between unbound systems.
And how does the calculation of electronic structure for the surface work?
Relevant answer
Answer
Like the previous responder I can only give a partial answer or rather only a comment. Although many attempts have been made in the past, there are no genuine methods to treat surfaces. In a molecular package you treat atoms on an individual basis and you enter their coordinates. In a bulk package, a bandstructure program, you can do so only within the bulk unit cell. The rest of the geometry is controlled by the lattice, representing a 3-dimensional infinite periodicity. For the surface this periodicity needs to be broken in the direction perpendicular to the surface. Plane waves are just mathematics and the powertool there is the Fourier transform. In its integral representation it can handle any problem, also a cluster of atoms and mathematically this is even an easy process. It is a matter of numerical efficiency that this s not done in practice. The problem is the contribution of the nuclear cores to the potential. Since this contribution is singular at the core site, it requires an excessive amount of plane waves to require enough
accuracy. A technical way out is to replace the potentials by pseudopotentials, free from singularities, but still yielding good enough results. In the family of bandstructure methods, CLOPW is a good alternative, bu it has never been developed to a complete package, If you manage to use/develope the plane wave representation into a proper instrument to handle true surfaces that would be a good thing, but as far as I know that has not been done.

Dear Abbas Kashani ,

Sergey Shevchenko added a reply:
What are rather numerous, and really strange, “vacuums” in mainstream physics, and what are two real vacuums is explained in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model , 3 main papers are
The first vacuum is the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct), which is the actualization of the Logos set elements “Space” and “Time” [what are “Logos” set, “Space” and “Time” see first pages in 1-st or 2-nd links] at creation and existence of a concrete informational system “Matter”,
- i.e. this vacuum is a logical possibility for/of Matter’s existence and evolving, and so is by definition nothing else than some fundamentally “empty container” , i.e. is “real/absolute” vacuum.
The second vacuum, which can be indeed rationally called “physical vacuum”, is the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [4+4+1]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], which is placed in the Matter’s spacetime above;
- while all matter in Matter, i.e. all particles, fields, stars, galaxies, etc., are only disturbances in the lattice, that were/are created at impacts on some the lattice’s FLE. At that it looks as rather rational scientifically to assume, that such vacuum really existed – that was the initial version of the lattice that was created/formed at the “inflation epoch”, more see the SS&VT initial cosmological model in section “Cosmology” in 2-nd link.
After this initial lattice version was created, in the lattice a huge portion of energy was pumped uniformly globally [and non-uniformly locally], what resulted in Matter’s “matter” creation, which we observe now.
Since all disturbances always and constantly move in the lattice with 4D speeds of light, now can be only some “local physical vacuums”, etc.;
- though that is really quite inessential – the notion “physical vacuum” is completely useless and even wrong, since the really scientifically defined FLE lattice is completely enough at description n and analysis of everything that exists and happens in Matter. The introduced in mainstream physics “vacuums” really are nothing else than some transcendent/mystic/fantastic mental constructions that exist in mainstream physics because of in the mainstream all fundamental phenomena/notions, including “Matter”, “Space/space”, “Time/time” are fundamentally transcendent/uncertain/irrational,
- while these, and not only, really fundamental phenomena/notions can be, and are, really rigorously scientifically defined only in framework of the SS&VT philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see
- the SS&VT physical model is based on which.

Super vacuum, in my view, is just the vacuum itself, that is, the channel through which the universe of particles and anti-particles intersects.
Courtney Seligman added a reply:
For all practical purposes, the Earth is moving through a vacuum as it orbits the Sun, as there is so little of anything in any given place that only the most sensitive instruments could tell that there was anything there. But there are microscopic pieces of stuff that used to be inside asteroids or comets, and pieces of atoms blown out of the Sun as the Solar Wind, and cosmic rays that manage to get through the Sun's "heliosphere" and run into anything that happens to be in their way. So though the essentially empty space around the Earth would qualify as a vacuum by any historical standard, it isn't an absolutely perfect vacuum. And I suppose a "super vacuum" would be a region where there isn't anything at all, including not only matter, but also any form of energy (which has a mass equivalence of sorts, per Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity); and if so, then "super vacuums" do not exist.
Harri Shore added a reply:
The concepts you're exploring—super vacuum, dark energy, and the nature of the vacuum in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—touch on some of the most profound and speculative areas in modern physics. Let's break down these concepts to provide clarity and context for your inquiry.
Super Vacuum
The term "super vacuum" is not widely used in mainstream physics literature but could be interpreted to mean an idealized vacuum state that is more "empty" than what is typically considered achievable, even beyond the vacuum state described by quantum field theories. In standard quantum field theories, a vacuum is not truly empty but seethes with virtual particles and fluctuates due to quantum uncertainties, known as zero-point energy.
Is the Earth in a Vacuum?
The Earth is not in a vacuum but is surrounded by its atmosphere, a thin layer of gases that envelops the planet. However, outer space, which begins just beyond the Earth's atmosphere, is often described as a vacuum. This is because outer space contains far fewer particles than the Earth's atmosphere, making it a near-vacuum by comparison. It's important to note that even the vacuum of outer space is not completely empty but contains low densities of particles, electromagnetic fields, and cosmic radiation.
Dark Energy
Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe. It is one of the greatest mysteries in modern cosmology, making up about 68% of the universe's total energy content according to current observations. The exact nature of dark energy is still unknown, but it is thought to be responsible for the observed acceleration in the expansion rate of the universe since its discovery in the late 1990s through observations of distant supernovae.
Vacuum Energy and Superluminosity
Vacuum energy refers to the energy that exists in space due to fluctuations of the quantum fields, even in the absence of any particles or radiation. It is a manifestation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, which allows for the temporary creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from "nothing."
The concept of superluminosity or superluminal phenomena (faster-than-light phenomena) is speculative and not supported by current mainstream physics, as it would violate the principle of causality, a cornerstone of the theory of relativity. However, there have been theoretical explorations of conditions under which apparent superluminal effects could occur without violating causality, such as in the context of quantum tunneling or warp drives in general relativity.
Vacuum Space as Evidence of Superluminous Energy
Your hypothesis suggests that vacuum space or "nothingness" might be evidence of a superluminous energy or vibration at the Planck scale that creates the apparent emptiness of space. This is a speculative notion that would require new theoretical frameworks beyond the standard model of particle physics and general relativity. It also implies that dark energy, the force behind the universe's accelerated expansion, could be related to this superluminous vacuum energy.
While current physical theories and experimental evidence do not support the existence of superluminous phenomena or energies, the history of science shows that our understanding of the universe is constantly evolving. Theoretical proposals that challenge existing paradigms are valuable for pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and prompting new avenues of experimental and theoretical investigation. However, any new theory that proposes mechanisms beyond established physics must be rigorously tested and validated against empirical evidence.
Courtney Seligman added a reply:
1. A vacuum is a region of space with no matter; a super vacuum could be defined in one of two ways, depending on whether it is a concept, or a description of current technology. In the first instance, it with be a region of space with neither matter nor energy (in which case, unless an extremely small region, it does not exist, because any part of space big enough to see without a microscope would at least have light of some sort passing through it (e.g., at least the Cosmic Background Radiation). In the second instance, it could be used to describe a "laboratory" vacuum which has far less matter in it than any previously created laboratory vacuum.
2. The Earth is in a region that is essentially a vacuum, because most of the space between the planets has practically nothing in it at any given time. However, there are cosmic rays and the Solar Wind everywhere, so though merely pieces of atoms, there is some stuff everywhere in space; but the amount is so small that for all "practical" purposes, it is a vacuum.
3. Dark energy is a fiction created by cosmologists to explain why, despite having too little mass for the gravity of that mass to fight the tendency of empty space to expand (per Einstein's General Theory of Gravity), the geometry of the Observable Universe is "flat", which would require something to add up to 100% of the "critical mass" of the Universe, and since visible and unobservable ("dark") matter makes up at most 27% of the critical mass, cosmologists created the concept of dark energy to make up the remaining 73%. However, there is no need to presume that the Universe is flat. Just as the Earth is a globe but looks essentially flat (on the average, and particularly at sea) because you can't see enough of it to see its real shape, the Universe is actually what is called "hyperbolic" in shape, which is exactly what you would expect if its mass is less than the "critical" mass. However, almost all cosmologists are convinced by various characteristics of the Observable Universe that the "real" Universe is at least 1000's and perhaps 10 to the 1000's of times bigger than what we can see, what we can see is too small to see its real shape, so it just looks "flat". Since by definition we can't see anything but the "Observable" Universe, we will never be able to see the true shape of the Universe; so "dark energy" will remain a "useful" fiction for calculation purposes for the foreseeable (if not infinite) future; but I am certain that we will never figure out what it is, because it doesn't exist. (Having been both a mathematician and a professional astronomer, I can assure you that even when something like "dark energy" doesn't exist in real life, creating a mathematical model that includes it, in order to make the math work right, is considered perfectly OK by professional mathematicians.)
Sergio Perez Felipe added a reply:
Introduction The ‘Theory of Everything’ is a hypothetical theory of physics that explains and connects all known physical phenomena into one. There is a possible solution to the origin of gravity force, postulating it as angular piece of this theory, this solution erases gravity as one of the fundamental forces of nature and unifies it with strong nuclear force. Let’s analyze the forces that occur in the universe transforming string theory. It allows to explain many physical behaviors that without its existence would be practically impossible to understand, even so, these strings have not been able to be discovered and are only that, a theory that serves as an important support to the world of physics. One of the best known theoretical applications about them is how their vibration can provoke the creation of matter, but this is not about theories already written, we are going to place these strings in a simpler way to answer some doubts in subatomic world. This theory uses 4 dimensions in space and a behavior as one dimension in strings with superconducting capacities. Like an elastic band between V-shaped sticks where the elastic band slides down, the strong nuclear force, forces these strings to bend to fall dawn.
It’s not directly related to electromagnetism. . Actors . String Theory String theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by onedimensional objects called strings. Each string that we cross would be the minimum distance that can be traversed during a displacement. We can note two important qualities of strings: Distance to the most distant object detected by the human being is more than 30 billion light years, that means there are beams of light which are able to travel that distance without decreasing its speed (they modify only its wavelength). Like light, an object can move into space for a practically unlimited period, as long as it doesn’t find a force to stop it. If strings exist, they act as a superconductor of matter with a resistance near 0. In order to generate waves it’s easier into a strongly linked structure. Gravitational waves behave like ocean waves which are similar to an uptight net, these tensions can be decomposed as one-dimensional structure for its study. Strings, at same time, could be one or zero-dimensional, like points under extreme bound forces, think about them as something tenser than any cable that holds the heaviest bridge in the world. The new framework we have drawn would be a set of extremely tense strings, with a practically infinite matter conduction capacity. Remember we are moving into universe at a stimated speed of 600km/sc. Strong Nuclear Force Strong nuclear force is another variable. This force allows the atomic nucleus to remain together, being the strongest of the so-called fundamental interactions (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear). Gluon is in charge of this interaction, it has a scope not greater than 10 to the power of -15 meters, preventing matter to separate by a constant attraction force between quarks of maximum 10.000 N (F). This real picture illustrates the three dimensional structure of gluon-field configurations, describing the vacuum properties. The volume of the box is 2,4 by 2,4 by 3,6 fm.Contrary to the concept of an empty vacuum, this induces chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic fields in its lowest energy state. The frame rate into this example is billions of billions frames per second (FPS). Superconducting String Theory (SST): Fundamentals: superconductor of matter interacting with a force that makes that matter hold together, but, how can they interact with each other? The most simple is to think about two V-shaped sticks (simulating the strings), and an elastic band that tight them at the most opened side (it would simulate the gluon, with size 10 to the power of -15 meters). If sticks are sufficiently lubricated and tense, what does the elastic band do? It will slide to the thinnest side. More elastic bands, more force will be exerted on the sticks to join them, so next bands will slide even faster (equally, more mass causes more attraction). We are talking about unknown limits in known world, such as infinite conduction or tensions never seen in materials. Suddenly, we have erased one of the fundamental forces of nature, gravity force doesn’t really exist, exists the strong nuclear force interacting with strings. this theory ‘Superconducting String Theory (SST)’. Calculations: Apply formulas from inclined planes (Newton’s second law). Simulation is in horizontal direction. Friction is imperceptible and acceleration down the plane is matched with gravity acceleration in our planet. Vertical force is not gravity force, it is gluon force, which values ares estimated, so we keep force 10.000 N (F1) and mass 0,0002 eV/c2 (m2). It can be considered vertical angle, but it’s depreciable.Dark energy and universe’s expansion.

In relativity (GTR, STR) we hear of masslessness. What is the meaning of it with respect to really (not merely measurementally) existent particles / waves?
I am of the opinion that, while propagating, naturally, wavicles have mass, and there is no situation where they are absolutely at rest or at rest mass. But we know that there are zero rest masses in physics. These are in my opinion masses obtained when the moving wavicle is relatively at rest. Thus, the energy here is supposed to be at a relative zero.
But such a relative rest is obtainable only with respect to a few movements (under consideration at a given relativistic situation); and always there will be some other physical processes around and within, with respect to which the zero rest mass wavicle already contextually taken as in zero rest mass is not at zero rest mass and zero energy.
If the relatively achieved zero rest mass and/or non-zero mass may always be conceived as the real mass, then nothing has a constant and permanent "own mass". In that case, any specific contextual mass must be fixed for contexts only, and the only thing that may be spoken of its mass is "finite", "non-zero and non-infinite".
This is a thing I have been thinking of giving as a realistic example for a method that I had developed in my 2018 book, in order to characterize the various, most general, accessible values attributable to processes. This is what I have called the maximal-medial-minimal (MMM) method of determining cosmological, physical, and other forms of access values of existent processes.
But I forgot to write down the said example. Recently I wrote it down as an example for discussing it in another book. But I realize that I can write a detailed section of a chapter about it.
The MMM method is based on determining the space, time, matter-energy content, etc. of anything, including the whole cosmos, as being of infinite or finite or zero value of any quantity. I have shown in the said book that this can be developed not only into a method in the philosophy of physics but also in the most general foundational notions and principles of all sciences.

why am I getting high evolution on the fe-co electrodeposited films with higher scan rate(50mV/S) in KOH electrolyte? what could be the reason. im using square wave pulse voltammetry
Relevant answer
Answer
In square wave pulse voltammetry for electrodeposition of Fe-Co alloy films, observing higher current densities or more pronounced hydrogen evolution at higher scan rates (e.g., 50 mV/s) in a KOH electrolyte could be attributed to several factors:
· Mass transport limitations: At higher scan rates, the depletion of electroactive species (Fe2+ and Co2+) near the electrode surface occurs more rapidly due to the shorter timescale for diffusion to replenish the consumed ions. This mass transport limitation can lead to an increase in the current density due to the contribution of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) as a parallel process.
· Kinetic effects: The faster potential sweep at higher scan rates may not allow sufficient time for the deposition process to reach equilibrium conditions, favoring kinetically controlled reactions like the HER over the metal deposition process.
· Ohmic drop effects: At higher current densities associated with higher scan rates, the potential drop due to the solution resistance (iR drop) becomes more significant, leading to a shift in the effective potential at the electrode surface. This shift can promote the HER over metal deposition.
· Nucleation and growth mechanisms: The higher scan rates may influence the nucleation and growth mechanisms of the Fe-Co alloy films, affecting the surface morphology and potentially favoring the HER on certain surface sites or defects.
· Electrolyte composition: The alkaline KOH electrolyte is known to facilitate the HER, and at higher scan rates, the contribution of the HER may become more pronounced due to the kinetic and mass transport effects mentioned above.
To mitigate the high hydrogen evolution at higher scan rates, you could consider the following strategies:
a) Optimize the electrolyte composition, such as adjusting the concentrations of metal ions, complexing agents, or pH, to suppress the HER while favoring metal deposition.
b) Decrease the scan rate or use a different voltammetric technique (e.g., potentiostatic deposition) to minimize mass transport limitations and kinetic effects.
c) Modify the electrode surface or pre-treatment procedures to promote nucleation and growth of the desired Fe-Co alloy phase over the HER.
d) Investigate the use of alternative electrolytes or additives that can selectively inhibit the HER while promoting metal deposition.
It's important to note that the specific reasons may vary depending on the exact experimental conditions, and a combination of these factors could be contributing to the observed behavior. Further investigation and optimization may be required to achieve the desired electrodeposition characteristics.

After this initial lattice version was created, in the lattice a huge portion of energy was pumped uniformly globally [and non-uniformly locally], what resulted in Matter’s “matter” creation, which we observe now.

For all practical purposes, the Earth is moving through a vacuum as it orbits the Sun, as there is so little of anything in any given place that only the most sensitive instruments could tell that there was anything there. But there are microscopic pieces of stuff that used to be inside asteroids or comets, and pieces of atoms blown out of the Sun as the Solar Wind, and cosmic rays that manage to get through the Sun's "heliosphere" and run into anything that happens to be in their way. So though the essentially empty space around the Earth would qualify as a vacuum by any historical standard, it isn't an absolutely perfect vacuum. And I suppose a "super vacuum" would be a region where there isn't anything at all, including not only matter, but also any form of energy (which has a mass equivalence of sorts, per Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity); and if so, then "super vacuums" do not exist.

The concepts you're exploring—super vacuum, dark energy, and the nature of the vacuum in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—touch on some of the most profound and speculative areas in modern physics. Let's break down these concepts to provide clarity and context for your inquiry.
Super Vacuum
The term "super vacuum" is not widely used in mainstream physics literature but could be interpreted to mean an idealized vacuum state that is more "empty" than what is typically considered achievable, even beyond the vacuum state described by quantum field theories. In standard quantum field theories, a vacuum is not truly empty but seethes with virtual particles and fluctuates due to quantum uncertainties, known as zero-point energy.
Is the Earth in a Vacuum?
The Earth is not in a vacuum but is surrounded by its atmosphere, a thin layer of gases that envelops the planet. However, outer space, which begins just beyond the Earth's atmosphere, is often described as a vacuum. This is because outer space contains far fewer particles than the Earth's atmosphere, making it a near-vacuum by comparison. It's important to note that even the vacuum of outer space is not completely empty but contains low densities of particles, electromagnetic fields, and cosmic radiation.
Dark Energy
Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe. It is one of the greatest mysteries in modern cosmology, making up about 68% of the universe's total energy content according to current observations. The exact nature of dark energy is still unknown, but it is thought to be responsible for the observed acceleration in the expansion rate of the universe since its discovery in the late 1990s through observations of distant supernovae.
Vacuum Energy and Superluminosity
Vacuum energy refers to the energy that exists in space due to fluctuations of the quantum fields, even in the absence of any particles or radiation. It is a manifestation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, which allows for the temporary creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from "nothing."
The concept of superluminosity or superluminal phenomena (faster-than-light phenomena) is speculative and not supported by current mainstream physics, as it would violate the principle of causality, a cornerstone of the theory of relativity. However, there have been theoretical explorations of conditions under which apparent superluminal effects could occur without violating causality, such as in the context of quantum tunneling or warp drives in general relativity.
Vacuum Space as Evidence of Superluminous Energy
Your hypothesis suggests that vacuum space or "nothingness" might be evidence of a superluminous energy or vibration at the Planck scale that creates the apparent emptiness of space. This is a speculative notion that would require new theoretical frameworks beyond the standard model of particle physics and general relativity. It also implies that dark energy, the force behind the universe's accelerated expansion, could be related to this superluminous vacuum energy.
While current physical theories and experimental evidence do not support the existence of superluminous phenomena or energies, the history of science shows that our understanding of the universe is constantly evolving. Theoretical proposals that challenge existing paradigms are valuable for pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and prompting new avenues of experimental and theoretical investigation. However, any new theory that proposes mechanisms beyond established physics must be rigorously tested and validated against empirical evidence.
Courtney Seligman added a reply:
1. A vacuum is a region of space with no matter; a super vacuum could be defined in one of two ways, depending on whether it is a concept, or a description of current technology. In the first instance, it with be a region of space with neither matter nor energy (in which case, unless an extremely small region, it does not exist, because any part of space big enough to see without a microscope would at least have light of some sort passing through it (e.g., at least the Cosmic Background Radiation). In the second instance, it could be used to describe a "laboratory" vacuum which has far less matter in it than any previously created laboratory vacuum.
2. The Earth is in a region that is essentially a vacuum, because most of the space between the planets has practically nothing in it at any given time. However, there are cosmic rays and the Solar Wind everywhere, so though merely pieces of atoms, there is some stuff everywhere in space; but the amount is so small that for all "practical" purposes, it is a vacuum.
3. Dark energy is a fiction created by cosmologists to explain why, despite having too little mass for the gravity of that mass to fight the tendency of empty space to expand (per Einstein's General Theory of Gravity), the geometry of the Observable Universe is "flat", which would require something to add up to 100% of the "critical mass" of the Universe, and since visible and unobservable ("dark") matter makes up at most 27% of the critical mass, cosmologists created the concept of dark energy to make up the remaining 73%. However, there is no need to presume that the Universe is flat. Just as the Earth is a globe but looks essentially flat (on the average, and particularly at sea) because you can't see enough of it to see its real shape, the Universe is actually what is called "hyperbolic" in shape, which is exactly what you would expect if its mass is less than the "critical" mass. However, almost all cosmologists are convinced by various characteristics of the Observable Universe that the "real" Universe is at least 1000's and perhaps 10 to the 1000's of times bigger than what we can see, what we can see is too small to see its real shape, so it just looks "flat". Since by definition we can't see anything but the "Observable" Universe, we will never be able to see the true shape of the Universe; so "dark energy" will remain a "useful" fiction for calculation purposes for the foreseeable (if not infinite) future; but I am certain that we will never figure out what it is, because it doesn't exist. (Having been both a mathematician and a professional astronomer, I can assure you that even when something like "dark energy" doesn't exist in real life, creating a mathematical model that includes it, in order to make the math work right, is considered perfectly OK by professional mathematicians.)
Abbas Kashani added a reply:
Introduction The ‘Theory of Everything’ is a hypothetical theory of physics that explains and connects all known physical phenomena into one. There is a possible solution to the origin of gravity force, postulating it as angular piece of this theory, this solution erases gravity as one of the fundamental forces of nature and unifies it with strong nuclear force. Let’s analyze the forces that occur in the universe transforming string theory. It allows to explain many physical behaviors that without its existence would be practically impossible to understand, even so, these strings have not been able to be discovered and are only that, a theory that serves as an important support to the world of physics. One of the best known theoretical applications about them is how their vibration can provoke the creation of matter, but this is not about theories already written, we are going to place these strings in a simpler way to answer some doubts in subatomic world. This theory uses 4 dimensions in space and a behavior as one dimension in strings with superconducting capacities. Like an elastic band between V-shaped sticks where the elastic band slides down, the strong nuclear force, forces these strings to bend to fall dawn.
It’s not directly related to electromagnetism. . Actors . String Theory String theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by onedimensional objects called strings. Each string that we cross would be the minimum distance that can be traversed during a displacement. We can note two important qualities of strings: Distance to the most distant object detected by the human being is more than 30 billion light years, that means there are beams of light which are able to travel that distance without decreasing its speed (they modify only its wavelength). Like light, an object can move into space for a practically unlimited period, as long as it doesn’t find a force to stop it. If strings exist, they act as a superconductor of matter with a resistance near 0. In order to generate waves it’s easier into a strongly linked structure. Gravitational waves behave like ocean waves which are similar to an uptight net, these tensions can be decomposed as one-dimensional structure for its study. Strings, at same time, could be one or zero-dimensional, like points under extreme bound forces, think about them as something tenser than any cable that holds the heaviest bridge in the world. The new framework we have drawn would be a set of extremely tense strings, with a practically infinite matter conduction capacity. Remember we are moving into universe at a stimated speed of 600km/sc. Strong Nuclear Force Strong nuclear force is another variable. This force allows the atomic nucleus to remain together, being the strongest of the so-called fundamental interactions (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear). Gluon is in charge of this interaction, it has a scope not greater than 10 to the power of -15 meters, preventing matter to separate by a constant attraction force between quarks of maximum 10.000 N (F). This real picture illustrates the three dimensional structure of gluon-field configurations, describing the vacuum properties. The volume of the box is 2,4 by 2,4 by 3,6 fm.Contrary to the concept of an empty vacuum, this induces chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic fields in its lowest energy state. The frame rate into this example is billions of billions frames per second (FPS). Superconducting String Theory (SST): Fundamentals: superconductor of matter interacting with a force that makes that matter hold together, but, how can they interact with each other? The most simple is to think about two V-shaped sticks (simulating the strings), and an elastic band that tight them at the most opened side (it would simulate the gluon, with size 10 to the power of -15 meters). If sticks are sufficiently lubricated and tense, what does the elastic band do? It will slide to the thinnest side. More elastic bands, more force will be exerted on the sticks to join them, so next bands will slide even faster (equally, more mass causes more attraction). We are talking about unknown limits in known world, such as infinite conduction or tensions never seen in materials. Suddenly, we have erased one of the fundamental forces of nature, gravity force doesn’t really exist, exists the strong nuclear force interacting with strings. this theory ‘Superconducting String Theory (SST)’. Calculations: Apply formulas from inclined planes (Newton’s second law). Simulation is in horizontal direction. Friction is imperceptible and acceleration down the plane is matched with gravity acceleration in our planet. Vertical force is not gravity force, it is gluon force, which values ares estimated, so we keep force 10.000 N (F1) and mass 0,0002 eV/c2 (m2). It can be considered vertical angle, but it’s depreciable.Dark energy and universe’s expansion. The behaviuor of the strings implies to have any kind of polaritation to expand, at least, strong enough to avoid get closer and restablish its structure after any contraction.

Until date, there is no conclusive evidence to support this claim. Throughout history, nature has consistently shown exceptions and violations to widely accepted beliefs.

Question

I find the unit of a second occurs as a natural basis in my wave solution of the planets. I find that interesting because the second comes from historically (Since Ancient Times) dividing the earth rotation by 24, 60, and 60 again (24 hours, 60 min/hour, 60 sec/min). But I find it also involves the Moon and the proton. For the Moon
(KE_moon/KE_earth)(EarthDay)=1 second
The Earth day, of course, is the Earth rotation period. The Moon seems to be a Natural yardstick in my equations that makes everything work. For instance the Sun is radius 400 in terms of the Moon, and the Moon is 400 times further from the Sun than the Earth, and this allows for a perfect eclipse.
The Moon is anomalous and has been a mystery in astronomy for some time, it is considered very large for the moon of a terrestrial planet. It has a very low mass for its size, even NASA scientists say it is as if it is hollow. It has a near perfectly circular orbit, and it makes life possible on Earth because it holds the Earth at its tilt to the Sun preventing temperature extremes and allowing for the seasons. Other planets have their tilt always changing, even going completely on their side at times. It is as if someone or something put the Moon there for a reason. If so it may be that the perfect dimensions of it that allow for my QM solution to work may have somehow been designed into it by someone or something, forces unknown. Mystery.
What I have have done here is to work out the basics, a sort of foundation upon which to build. Now that that is laid, I have a lot more to do. First on my list is to derive the solution of the wave equation for gravity directly. Here I used the Bohr solution which Bohr just wrote down when he suggested the atom was quantized discretely. His solution was later derived from the wave equation. But I know what I have done is right (using the Moon) because page 11 section 5.0 shows the planetary Planck constant is right from the delocalization time for the Earth orbit from the standard solution of a gaussian wave packet using the moon orbital radius to find the Earth year.
I need to write out the wave equation because my guess is there are two waves on either side of the asteroid belt; one for the terrestrial planets, the other for the gas giants, because I need to combine these two wave functions to get their interference patterns which should be at the asteroid belt. I would then need, and I don't know where to get it, but the right math software to plot the interference patterns so their images can be studied for when and where asteroids could be ejected from the belt, and possibly go on a collision course with the Earth. This seems to me to be an overwhelming task, and I am not sure that it is the right approach.
I am new to Quantum Mechanics, so I am solving the wave equation for the first time in the application to gravity as opposed to the electric forces, and I am confident I can do that because they are both inverse square laws, and for the hydrogen atom the solution has been well established. However, there is something different going on with the planets than with atoms because with atoms you have protons orbited by electrons and that is in the solution, but with planets you have planets orbiting the Sun and the masses of the planets are different than each other where with electrons they are all the same size, mass, and charge, but it can be done because the solution instead has for say the Earth orbiting the Sun, or any other planet orbiting the Sun, the Moon of the Earth as the common mass in the solution, so while that makes it possible, the solution method will diverge from the atom with that factor as the function of the system. I don't know when I am going to find the time to do this.
I am excited to get to this because maybe I can find out why everything is based on the Moon, and why it is there when many scientists have said it shouldn't be, and why it determines the unit of a second that we happened to coincidentally develop, which came from the Ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia with their choice of base 60 counting. Obviously, if the Moon has so low a mass for its size and it is hollow, then to not collapse, it would have an artificial structure beneath supporting it. This was suggested by a couple Russian scientists, that it is a spacecraft that came here long ago and was put into orbit around Earth. That gets at why there is life on Earth and who are what might be responsible for it because life on Earth depends on the Moon orbiting it.

Thank you Arash for you intriguing ideas concerning the Moon. To fully understand them I would need to see the math. The best way to record your discoveries, is to write up a paper with a software like Microsoft word, or pages. There are several equation editors available for free or very cheap that will put your equations in latex code that you can insert in your paper with your word processing software. Then you can upload it to research gate, and it will be protected by just publishing it online.

The idea is based on these observations:
•Maxwell I, derived from Biot Savard law and divergece math identities is an analoque to the Einstein field equation relating curvature to mass-energy, i.e they both quantify the magnitude of force/force effect
• Einstein equations hypothesize an underlying gravitational field from which equations of motion detive. Same with Maxwell but with photons
•They both predict ot have plane wave solutions (EM waves and gravitational waves).
Note: While EM waves have been a basis fr commercial implementation, GR grav waves have only bern proposed for scientific utility and canot be produced in the lab.

What is a super vacuum? Is the earth in a vacuum? And what is dark energy?
It has not been proven until today and nature has always applied and proven exceptions and violations in the accepted theories many times in the past. That these were merely human formalisms and experimental artifacts and exploiting the limits of technology, and physical limits and laws are constantly being broken and bent in nature. Hereby we will attempt to show theoretically why and how there is and experimentally evidence in our universe of vacuum space, either in its theoretically idealized absolute form, thus free space or the partial vacuum that characterizes the vacuum of QED or QCD. And its zero-point energy and oscillations may actually be the greatest proof in nature for super energy.
It is possible without violating causation. that the apparent effect of "nothing" of vacuum space may be evidence for it
superluminocity and all this time it was hidden right in front of us. We are here trying to answer a fundamental question of physics, why the vacuum is basically space to us looks like nothing on the assumption that "nothing" exists in nature, and why a hypothetical superluminous vibration, a particle the size of Planck creates apparent nothingness in our spacetime. The novelty of the research here infers that free space is dark energy and that superluminous energy.

Since by definition we can't see anything but the "Observable" Universe, we will never be able to see the true shape of the Universe; so "dark energy" will remain a "useful" fiction for calculation purposes for the foreseeable (if not infinite) future; but I am certain that we will never figure out what it is, because it doesn't exist. (Having been both a mathematician and a professional astronomer, I can assure you that even when something like "dark energy" doesn't exist in real life, creating a mathematical model that includes it, in order to make the math work right, is considered perfectly OK by professional mathematicians.)

Introduction The ‘Theory of Everything’ is a hypothetical theory of physics that explains and connects all known physical phenomena into one. There is a possible solution to the origin of gravity force, postulating it as angular piece of this theory, this solution erases gravity as one of the fundamental forces of nature and unifies it with strong nuclear force. Let’s analyze the forces that occur in the universe transforming string theory. It allows to explain many physical behaviors that without its existence would be practically impossible to understand, even so, these strings have not been able to be discovered and are only that, a theory that serves as an important support to the world of physics. One of the best known theoretical applications about them is how their vibration can provoke the creation of matter, but this is not about theories already written, we are going to place these strings in a simpler way to answer some doubts in subatomic world. This theory uses 4 dimensions in space and a behavior as one dimension in strings with superconducting capacities. Like an elastic band between V-shaped sticks where the elastic band slides down, the strong nuclear force, forces these strings to bend to fall dawn.
It’s not directly related to electromagnetism. . Actors . String Theory String theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by onedimensional objects called strings. Each string that we cross would be the minimum distance that can be traversed during a displacement. We can note two important qualities of strings: Distance to the most distant object detected by the human being is more than 30 billion light years, that means there are beams of light which are able to travel that distance without decreasing its speed (they modify only its wavelength). Like light, an object can move into space for a practically unlimited period, as long as it doesn’t find a force to stop it. If strings exist, they act as a superconductor of matter with a resistance near 0. In order to generate waves it’s easier into a strongly linked structure. Gravitational waves behave like ocean waves which are similar to an uptight net, these tensions can be decomposed as one-dimensional structure for its study. Strings, at same time, could be one or zero-dimensional, like points under extreme bound forces, think about them as something tenser than any cable that holds the heaviest bridge in the world. The new framework we have drawn would be a set of extremely tense strings, with a practically infinite matter conduction capacity. Remember we are moving into universe at a stimated speed of 600km/sc. Strong Nuclear Force Strong nuclear force is another variable. This force allows the atomic nucleus to remain together, being the strongest of the so-called fundamental interactions (gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear). Gluon is in charge of this interaction, it has a scope not greater than 10 to the power of -15 meters, preventing matter to separate by a constant attraction force between quarks of maximum 10.000 N (F). This real picture illustrates the three dimensional structure of gluon-field configurations, describing the vacuum properties. The volume of the box is 2,4 by 2,4 by 3,6 fm.Contrary to the concept of an empty vacuum, this induces chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic fields in its lowest energy state. The frame rate into this example is billions of billions frames per second (FPS). Superconducting String Theory (SST): Fundamentals: superconductor of matter interacting with a force that makes that matter hold together, but, how can they interact with each other? The most simple is to think about two V-shaped sticks (simulating the strings), and an elastic band that tight them at the most opened side (it would simulate the gluon, with size 10 to the power of -15 meters). If sticks are sufficiently lubricated and tense, what does the elastic band do? It will slide to the thinnest side. More elastic bands, more force will be exerted on the sticks to join them, so next bands will slide even faster (equally, more mass causes more attraction). We are talking about unknown limits in known world, such as infinite conduction or tensions never seen in materials. Suddenly, we have erased one of the fundamental forces of nature, gravity force doesn’t really exist, exists the strong nuclear force interacting with strings. this theory ‘Superconducting String Theory (SST)’. Calculations: Apply formulas from inclined planes (Newton’s second law). Simulation is in horizontal direction. Friction is imperceptible and acceleration down the plane is matched with gravity acceleration in our planet. Vertical force is not gravity force, it is gluon force, which values ares estimated, so we keep force 10.000 N (F1) and mass 0,0002 eV/c2 (m2). It can be considered vertical angle, but it’s depreciable.Dark energy and universe’s expansion. The behaviuor of the strings implies to have any kind of polaritation to expand, at least, strong enough to avoid get closer and restablish its structure after any contraction.

The connection between biotechnology and deep tech highlights a future where the integration of complex scientific research, innovation, and advanced engineering is essential to driving societal progress and addressing global challenges. Biotechnology, as a segment of deep tech, encompasses a broad range of applications, from healthcare and agriculture to environmental conservation and beyond. Given its expansive impact, several future challenges and research directions are poised to shape the landscape of deep biotechnology:
1. As biotechnological innovations push the boundaries of what's possible, ethical and regulatory frameworks will need to evolve. This includes issues related to genetic engineering, data privacy in genomics, and the equitable distribution of groundbreaking treatments.
2. The convergence of biotechnology with other deep tech areas like AI, quantum computing, and nanotechnology necessitates a seamless integration of multidisciplinary expertise. Bridging these disciplines poses both a collaborative opportunity and a logistical challenge.
3 Many biotechnological innovations face scalability challenges. Transitioning from a successful laboratory proof-of-concept to widespread commercial and clinical application is non-trivial. Additionally, ensuring these innovations are accessible and affordable to those who need them most remains a significant hurdle.
4. Deep biotech ventures often require substantial upfront investment with a long-term horizon for returns. Balancing the need for rigorous scientific research with investor expectations for timely returns is a delicate endeavor.
5. The complexity of biological systems presents ongoing technical challenges. This includes issues like the delivery mechanisms for gene editing tools, overcoming antibiotic resistance, and creating sustainable bio-based materials.
Future Research Directions:
  1. Advancements in CRISPR and other gene-editing technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to treat genetic disorders, improve crop yields, and engineer microorganisms for environmental remediation.
  2. Leveraging AI and machine learning to accelerate drug discovery processes and develop personalized treatment plans based on an individual’s genetic makeup is a promising research direction.
  3. The use of nanotechnology for targeted drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics could revolutionize the medical field by improving the efficacy of treatments and reducing side effects.
  4. Applying quantum computing to solve complex biological problems, such as protein folding or genomic analysis, could dramatically speed up research and development efforts.
  5. Research into using biotechnology for sustainable production of chemicals, fuels, and materials aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impact.
The development and commercialization of biotechnological innovations, influenced by the deep tech ecosystem, require a collaborative effort among governments, academia, venture capital, and industry. The lessons learned from rapid vaccine development during the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the potential of this ecosystem to address pressing global challenges.
As biotechnology continues to evolve within the deep tech framework, its role in shaping a sustainable and health-focused future becomes increasingly significant.

Hi all pls i am working on a topic detecting faults on HVDC system using travelling waves .I tried using discrete wavlet transform toolbox on matlab to decompose the signal to enable the location of the time of arrival of the wave.The issue is its been very difficult due to the transient and nature of dc current .Pls if there is any advice on how this can be done i would appreciate ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, detecting faults in HVDC systems using travelling waves and analysing them with wavelet transforms in MATLAB is a valid approach. However, you're right, the transient nature of DC faults can make it challenging. Here's why and some alternative techniques to consider:
Challenges with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for DC Faults:
  • DWT is effective with sporadic or repetitive signals. DC faults in HVDC schemes are momentary, meaning they arise for a short duration and don't repeat periodically. This can make it difficult to isolate the travelling wave component using DWT.
Alternative Techniques for Fault Detection with Traveling Waves:
  1. Time Domain Analysis:
    • Look for swift deviations in voltage or current at the converter stations. These swift changes specify the influx of the travelling wave caused by the fault.
    • This method is simple but may not be accurate for high-resistance faults or noisy signals.
  2. Fourier Transform:
    • While not perfect for momentary signals, it can detect the overriding frequencies existing in the travelling wave.
    • Look for high-frequency apparatuses appearing subsequently at the fault that might not have been present earlier.
    • This can help differentiate the travelling wave from the steady-state DC component.

Hello fellow scientists,
I am working on a new experiment which includes building a low-cost gravitational wave detector. I will be covering all of the costs, but I am looking for a group of people who might be interested in participating in this experiment from your own lab. This experiment is likely to have a null result, but it is certainly worth completing the experiment. Let me give you some background.
I recently published my peer-reviewed research which demonstrated an obvious anisotropy of electromagnetic propagation though a vacuum. While there are some minor similarities between my experiment and the Michelson-Morley Experiment (MME), there are significant differences. The greatest difference is that I use radio waves instead of light waves for the experiment and I am looking at changes in wavelength while the frequency remains the same. The experiment demonstrated an obvious anisotropic difference and is in direct contradiction of the MME.
The MME was looking for the aether. As such, there appears to be a concept that one must be associated with the other. However, the results of my research have not led me to a specific logical argument that suggests the anisotropy demonstrated in my experiment is an obvious demonstration of aether. As such, I have been looking for an experiment that might be able to provide clear evidence of the aether or not.
Consequently, I am in the early stages of designing a new experiment. With the use of a Lecher line, I will attempt to detect gravitational waves by looking for wavelength changes that occur when the gravitational wave interacts with the radio wave. If these waves are traveling though the aether, then they should interact as they collide and there should be a resultant brief change in the wavelength that could be recognized with the Lecher line and measurement instrumentation.
LIGO has been measuring gravity waves for years now and is receiving detections about once per week. As such, the data from this experiment can be compared to the data from the LIGO measurements to determine if such detections were also measured by the Lecher line.
As I stated, I am in the early stages of designing this experiment. As such, I would benefit from a vigorous scientific discourse regarding this experiment. Alternative ideas and designs would also be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, I am looking to find a few people who would want to connect online weekly as a team to support the experiment. Some specific talents such as those with advanced math skills who can model this experiment would be appreciated. Electrical engineering background is also appreciated. I have one person who has already expressed an interest and has started some basic design.
As this experiment is based upon, and complementary to, my prior research results, this experiment will be designed with the basic premise that c is variable and that there will be a change in wavelength of a signal when there is a change in the velocity of c. I have attached a copy of the peer reviewed paper to this discussion.
I look forward to this interesting discussion.

It is mentioned in A Biography Albert Einstein by Alice Calaprice & Trevor Lipscombe, JAICO, 2023, p.35: "If light is a wave, what does it travel through?...... Light, surely, had to travel through something. This unknown "something" was what physicists back then called the ether. Many theories were proposed for the ether, but none of them stood up to experimental tests...... Einstein, in 1905, showed that the ether hypothesis simply wasn't needed."
But, recent confirmation by the physicists of the existence of background hum of the universe has confirmed that light wave travels through ether (Akash Tattwa). According to Eastern Philosophy sound is the subtlest and minutest particle, technically known as tanmatra, of ether (Akash Tattwa). According to His Holiness Maharaj Sahab (1861-1907), 3rd Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith describes that, 'Akash, accordingly, serves the purpose of vehicle of higher forces in the economy of creation'.
Thus, it is clear that light wave definitely travels through ether (Akash Tattwa) and Einstein's views on this need corrections. It is also imperative to conduct extensive research work on ether (Akash Tattwa) keeping Eastern Philosophy in Frontline.

One of the applications of my theory in “Our Solar System As A Solution Of The Quantum Mechanical Wave Equation” is that it might help in giving us an idea of when and where to look for the impact on Earth of a possibly cataclysmic asteroid or meteor.
The theory being quantum mechanical is statistical, means it deals in frequencies. Asteroids and meteor impacts on Earth have frequencies however they are probabilities, but quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory. It may be possible that my theory could be useful in finding when probabilities are high for asteroid or meteor impacts on Earth, giving us an idea of when and where to look.
Early detection in potential asteroids or meteor son a trajectory that could intersect with the Earth trajectory is crucial for the obvious reason that changing the trajectory of an asteroid or meteor when it is far away by a small amount with a nuclear blast means the change in its position when it gets near us will be greater.
I have started thinking about an approach to this but I really feel it would be very complicated and require experts in the field of asteroids and the asteroid belt, and quantum mechanics, with  much better resources such as sophisticated computers and software.
The asteroid that ended the dinosaurs 65 million years ago hitting in Yucatan was probably only a couple miles to four miles across and probably came from the asteroid belt, but the major damage comes from it kicking up dust and dirt into the atmosphere that distributes around the globe blocking sunlight thus resulting in lack of food from vegetation dying off.

Hello Tanvi,
Usually, a vertical streaking could be caused because of poor sample preparation as incomplete protein solubility could block the protein from entering the gel. Make sure that there is adequate homogenization of the lysate and centrifuge the lysate to get rid of any particulate matter that may cause interference.
Another possibility could be sample degradation. So, ensure that you add protease and phosphatase inhibitors during lysate preparation. As far as possible avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the sample.
Finally, too much protein loading could be the cause. Accordingly, you may decrease the amount of protein loading per well.

Dear Researchers,
I was trying to simulate a planer acoustic wave Asin(wt) in compressible flow with "w" frequency and "A" amplitude and was interested to see how this wave interacts with turbulence field in the middle of a pipe, using CFD method. But I am almost failed to recover the exact waveform at outlet microphone. The wave almost diffused in the meanflow. But in real physics, we know that maybe some scattering can be happen to wave while hitting vortices of turbulence flow but at the end we still hear the sound i think?
Can you suggest me a numerical scheme that safely propagate the wave through turbulence without too much dissipation or dissolution of acoustic wave? (I am not sure if I wrote my question clearly)
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Ali,
One should always start with the most simple problem, which is the propagation of sound als low frequencies in a straight pipe. B y low frequencies I mean that only plane waves propagates. For a duct with height H this corresponds to frequencies f = W/(2 pi) such that c/(f H)>2, with c the speed of sound in the fluid. For circular pipes of radius a this implies W a/c<1.84. Even in this apparently trivial case propagation is not easy to predict. Of course if the fluid is stagnant the main condition for a reasonable prediction of sound propagation is a "dedicated" numerical scheme with low damping and at least about 10 grid points per wave length. Various scheme have been proposed. When turbulent flow is present, there is sound absorption by the viscous dominated sub-boundary layers of the turbulent flow at the wall. This has been extensively studied for low subsonic flows by among other D. Ronneberger, M.C.A.M. Peters, M.S. Howe and more recently the team of KTH (Stockholm). It is essential to have a numerical scheme that does resolve the boundary layer structure (very thin!). For higher Mach numbers there are additional complexities due to bending of acoustic waves by convection. If you furthermore introduce a cavity as shown in your drawing, there will be a shear layer separating the main flow from the "dead water region" in the cavity. The acoustic perturbations will induce a modulation of the vorticity in the shear layer. At Strouhal numbers f B/U (B cavity width, U main flow velocity) of order unity, whistling can occur (sound amplification). There are a lost of papers on this subject. A review paper is that of Devis Tonon on closed side branches in ducts. If you consider high frequencies the problem becomes more complex from a propagation point of view but the interaction with the shear-layer is mainly due to convective effects (bending of waves). There is no production of sound. Good luck. Keep it simple.

I have an idea related to Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces In RIS technology, waves are reflected. Can we do the opposite? I mean that we collect or attract these waves instead of reflecting them. This will benefit us in many things. It depends on Snell’s law of light reflection, but it is possible to do the opposite through a smart lens to collect light waves if we want to preserve information. Important and confidential. For example, we can use this lens and then use systems for converting signals and converting them into electrical ones and encrypting them. This is more similar to the way RIS works in terms of the working principle, meaning this smart surface consists of groups of parts of small cells through which we control the reflection of waves. This smart lens is the same thing if When we do it, we will use a technology like this, and it is not like a receiver that receives waves. It will be like that, but it will be in a different way because it will collect all the waves, not just pick up a signal, for example, or just receive it.

You are right that a RIS/metasurface can be used for many purposes. However, I don't think it can attract more EM waves than what would naturally reach it, but it can absorb the waves instead of reflecting them, and it can perform various kinds of analog processing of the waves. Metamaterials are used by companies such as Kumeta and Pivotal Commware to build antenna arrays that transmit and receive waves, rather than reflecting them.
Think of each RIS element as an antenna that converts the EM wave into an electrical signal. The circuitry can then be processed before the wave is either reflected/re-emitted or samples. So any kind of processing that can be done by an analog circuit could also be done by an RIS.
The slides by Petar Popovski from the following event mention some unusual things one can do with an RIS but attracting EM waves (like a magnet) isn't one of them:

However, we usually say that such sinusoidal waves are linear and shocks are non-linear. What is the essential difference between the two is an interesting question.
Relevant answer
Answer
The terms "linear" and "nonlinear" are used in various fields, including mathematics, physics, and systems theory, to describe different types of relationships or behaviors. Here's a general analysis of difference between linear and nonlinear:
  1. Linear:Definition: A linear relationship or system follows the principle of superposition, meaning that the output is directly proportional to the input. In other words, if you double the input, the output will also double. Mathematical Representation: A linear relationship can be represented by a straight line when plotted on a graph. The equation describing a linear relationship is often of the form y = mx + b, where "y" is the output, "x" is the input, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.
  2. Nonlinear:Definition: A nonlinear relationship does not follow the principle of superposition. The output is not directly proportional to the input, and changes in the input do not result in constant changes in the output. Mathematical Representation: Nonlinear relationships do not form straight lines when plotted on a graph. The equations describing nonlinear relationships can take various forms, such as quadratic (y = ax^2 + bx + c), exponential (y = a * e^(bx)), or logarithmic (y = a * ln(x)).
The Major difference lies in how the output responds to changes in the input. If the relationship is proportional and follows a straight line, it is linear. If the relationship is not proportional and exhibits curvature or other complex patterns, it is nonlinear. Understanding whether a system or relationship is linear or nonlinear is essential in fields like mathematics, physics, engineering, and data analysis, as it influences the methods used for analysis and prediction.

The Wheeler–DeWitt equation* It has some amazing properties [1]. It is timeless and it is describing a world of only space.
Timelessness and vanishing trajectories and spacetime
The full quantum state of gravity and matter depends on the three-dimensional metric only, but is invariant under three-dimensional coordinate transformations. It does not contain any external time parameter t [1]. The reason for this ‘timeless’ nature is obvious.
In general relativity, a four-dimensional spacetime is the analogue to a particle trajectory in mechanics. After quantization, the trajectory vanishes, and so does spacetime. What remains is space, and the configuration of space is the space of all three-geometries.
The timelessness of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is not simply the same as that arising from a universal wave function [1]. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation comes from the attempt to canonically quantize gravity. Because of the gauge-redundancy of gravity, "time evolution" takes one state into the same state.
Singular ontology of space in Quantum loop gravity
An equation of this form also occurs in loop quantum gravity and Rovelli arrives in similar conclusions. Rovelli combines some relativist concepts of "relative present" and extented to justify this. But he does not go far enough to suggest what this timelessness means
Time and laws
Einstein’s theory of general relativity has introduced a dynamical spacetime into physics and has thus dramatically changed our attitude towards the formulation of fundamental laws. On the other hand, one expects that the consistent unification of general relativity with quantum theory will lead to a completely new type of understanding of time as well as the type of possible laws in physics, because time dependence is a main aspect as fundamental physical laws refer to dependences on space and time
Implications for our understanding of time
The Wheeler-DeWitt theory challenges our conventional understanding of time as a linear and absolute concept. It suggests that time may be an emergent property of the universe, rather than a fundamental aspect. This has implications for how we view the past, present, and future, and may lead to new theories and understandings of the nature of time.
* The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is a mathematical equation formulated by physicists John Wheeler and Bryce DeWitt in the 1960s. It is a key component of the Wheeler-DeWitt theory, which attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. The equation describes the wave function of the universe and is used to study the concept of timelessness in the universe.
The Wheeler-DeWitt theory is a theoretical framework and has not been proven through empirical evidence [2]. However, it has been extensively studied and has provided insights into the fundamental nature of the universe. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is based on the idea that time is not a fundamental aspect of the universe, but rather emerges from the interactions between matter and energy. This means that the equation does not have a time variable, indicating that timelessness may be a fundamental aspect of the universe [2].
Currently, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation cannot be solved in its entirety. This is because it is a complex equation that involves both quantum mechanics and general relativity, which have not yet been fully reconciled. However, scientists have been able to make progress in understanding the equation through numerical simulations and approximations. (Reference:

Yes, we are able today to register some electrical signals from the brain and other areas of the human body. However, accurate determination of these signals is not an easy task and hardly can be done with computer tools that today are wrongly called AI. Usage of computers in medicine today results in a lot of harm and problems. This is one of the reasons why US medicine is only in 47th place in the world. Homeopathic methods can be considered to be a part of drug-based medical technologies and it makes them partially harmful and reduces efficiency. Some much better and more efficient drugless technologies must be used instead. The problem is that the majority of medical professionals do not know about it and are not trained to use these tools. I am well-involved in these methods and have used them for about 4 decades with good results.

How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
And then we can discuss again. First of all, we can take effective measures to fix the faults, for example, with concrete poles that have reinforced concrete, i.e. put round bars inside the concrete, and inside the fields that we dug with wells and water solution and We strongly injected salt into the faults and the earth's energy was removed. We can use the concrete that has a network of round bars that are covered with strong concrete. We can continue to sew the faults and make the faults resistant. Of course, this work requires both accurate topographical maps and maps of the ground where the faults have been precisely identified, which are the exact faults, whether they are main faults or minor and small faults, under what conditions in the geomorphological and topographical maps and Where is the GAS map located and where are the cities next to this fault map? Of course, seismological engineers should cooperate with geologists, mineralogists and environmentalists.
2- And also in the proposal, I should mention that it is important for the people of cities and villages to be aware of the map of the faults and where each person's building is located and to know exactly how far it is from the fault. Because in the science of seismology, if it is 100 meters or 200 meters away from the center of the earthquake or fault, the destruction of the building is more. Because earthquake waves are (SPL) earthquakes which are surface waves cause the destruction of buildings, and if the building is 100 meters or 200 meters away, due to the wave that is small at first, then it gets stronger and then finally, this wave decreases, and according to seismological calculations, if the building is 100 meters away from the epicenter, the intensity of destruction is greater. So we have to inform people.
3- In tall buildings, we must inform people that they should never be in the stairs or elevators during an earthquake. Because during an earthquake, the first place to be destroyed is the staircase and the elevator, and also during an earthquake, the building's electricity is cut off and the people who are inside the elevator are stuck. is more Or in the open bathroom and toilet is better. Or inside the closet is better. For example, during the Bam earthquake in Kerman, a mother and daughter survived for 3 days and nights in a closet.
How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
Relevant answer
Answer
The engineering profession is well equipped today to construct anti-seismic buildings and houses. It has not always been like that.
For example, my father built the first anti-seismic buildings in modern-era Greece in the 1920's when he was in charge of building branches of the National Bank in cities around the country. He used iron bars in the walls to "brace" the buildings so that movement will not brake the structure.
He was successful and some people refused to believe it. After the devastating earthquake of 1955 on the island of Zakynthos only the bank building survived and the orthodox church (that was attributed to a miracle) while the rest of the town was levelled. His Bank president did not believe that the bank building was not destroyed and he travelled to the island to see it for himself!
On another situation he had to build one huge bank building over the ocean! (part of the town was marshy, but there was no alternative location). So in this situation he used 400 cement pillars and build the bank over them! The building is similar to an ancient Greek temple and still there today.

Answer
Kindly understand that the other well known name of Lamb wave is "Plate wave". This means that two Rayleigh waves are generated at the two sides of the plate simultaneously and they they travel without any interference first. Accordingly, plate thickness is being taken care of first to generate symmetrical mode Lamb waves. Then if the plate thickness is getting reduced then one can produce asymmetrical Lamb waves. Rayleigh wave wavelength, its frequency, plate thickness, material attenuation, etc. are the important considerations...
Kindly refer Symmetric and Asymmetric Lamb waves in the Google search...

Time dilation has absurd predictions. So, it may be an illusion. Is it possible that this mistake has its roots far back in 1887, when Michelson did his famous tests? The interpretations of these tests assumed that the mirrors in the equipment define the vector sum of ether wind v and wave vector c. This was a reasoning based on particles, and the mirrors have relevance only in relation to c (but not to v), and the wave model is in conflict. So, time dilation appears to be an illusion, and the Lorentz transform not needed.
Einstein gave support to this idea by postulating that observers in different (but constant) motions all see the same light speed, but Einstein's idea is also absurd.

The small effects in GPS clocks are found only in atomic clocks, and other clocks are useless. The fact that we have not searched for small errors does not mean that they do not exist. Mechanical clocks are useless in the GPS system. You think that something that you have not observed cannot exist. That is a very big mistake and lack of fantasy.
In a circular orbit the tangential speed is constant, and the radial ether wind is also constant and equal to the escape velocity. The escape velocity is the cause of gravity.

In longitudinal studies examining change in cognition over time, commonly outcome measures are composite scores formed by combining a number of individual mental tests. Typical examples are cognitive domain scores (memory, executive function etc). For a cross-sectional study, composite scores are commonly calculated by first standardizing individual test scores as Z-scores (ie adjusting for age, sex and education) and then forming a composite of these as either their sum or average. This composite can then be standardized by transforming to whatever distribution is desired (e.g. z, T, IQ scores etc). Since the variances of the test scores are equal, this method results in equal importance being given to each of the tests in the resulting composite domain score.
When forming composite scores at later occasions in a longitudinal study, it is desirable for the composite scores to be strictly comparable across time points. This can be achieved by applying exactly the same formulae to the raw test scores at later waves that were used at baseline to form the baseline composite score. (In other words, the baseline sample is used as the normative, or reference, group for the calculation of standard scores at later waves.)
However, a consequence of using this method is that for the composite scores at later waves, there is no assurance that equal importance is given to each of the component tests. For example, in aging studies, it is well known that different tests that might be accepted markers of the same cognitive domain are affected differently by age, and test scores standardised in this way no longer can provide a guarantee of equal variances at later waves.
Of course one could use structural equation modelling and apply a latent growth model, with corresponding loadings constrained to be equal at different time points. But if, in fact, variances of the different tests do vary differently across time, the modification indices could indicate that those equality constraints should be relaxed. If that were done, then the latent cognition factors would have slightly different construct validities at different occasions. A larger problem could be that the selection of tests, commonly regarded as neuropsychologists as belonging to a particular cognitive domain, do not conform to a single factor model. (This is particularly true of markers of executive function.)
Relevant answer
Answer
I also find this interesting as I start to think about how to create a composite score for my study measures. If we talk about calculating z-scores at each time point for the composite score, as long as the weight of each test is the same across time points, I think the importance will stay the same.
But I agree that it is difficult to compare the absolute test score across time. On the other hand, it tells you the relative performance of each subject in the sample population all the time. I would love to learn if you have found the answer to this question or any new thoughts.

I want to design an antenna for surface heating not for deep heating of material. So what kind of antennas are suitable for surface heating? Please suggest. Will the use of slow wave structure be beneficial for reducing the velocity of wave propagation or are there some other better options?
Relevant answer
Answer
A slow-wave structure, when integrated into an antenna, serves several important purposes:
1. Increase directivity and gain: By slowing down the electromagnetic waves within the antenna, the interaction between the waves and the radiating structure is enhanced. This leads to a more focused beam of radiation, resulting in higher directivity and gain. This is particularly beneficial for applications where long-range communication or precise targeting is required.
2. Miniaturization: Traditional antennas often require large physical dimensions to achieve desired operating frequencies. Integrating a slow-wave structure allows for the antenna to be physically smaller while maintaining the same operational frequency. This is crucial for applications where space is limited, such as in mobile devices or aircraft.

3. Enhance bandwidth: Slow-wave structures can broaden the operating bandwidth of an antenna, allowing it to function effectively over a wider range of frequencies. This is useful for applications like radars and communication systems that need to operate across multiple channels.

4. Improve impedance matching: By manipulating the electrical properties of the antenna, slow-wave structures can help to better match the antenna's impedance to the feedline. This improves the efficiency of power transfer and reduces signal reflections, leading to better overall performance.

5. Specific applications: Slow-wave antennas find applications in various fields, including:
  • Radar systems: For increased target detection and tracking accuracy.
  • Communication systems: For high-gain, long-range data transmission.
  • Medical imaging: For MRI and other imaging modalities requiring specific frequency ranges.
  • Electronic warfare: For jammers and other directed-energy weapons.
The specific design and implementation of a slow-wave structure in an antenna will depend on the desired operating frequency, bandwidth, directivity, and other performance parameters. However, the overall goal is to improve the antenna's efficiency and effectiveness in its intended application.

Is it true that Schrödinger's equation is only valid for infinite free space?
The untold story of SE, as I understand it, is that the wave function ψ can only live in a vacuum and infinite space.
By infinite space we mean that x extends from -∞ to +∞ so the boundary conditions applied to SE should all be zero.
The question arises: are there other limitations to the habitation space of ψ?

Answer
This is just a brief answer to shed more light on the question and its answer and to thank our colleague from the Netherlands for his helpful answer:
SE can also be used for delimited spaces.
As far as we know, when SE is applied to bounded or finite domains of physical space, the boundary conditions are assumed to be zero on these boundaries, which automatically means infinite space.
The question arises: does anyone know of a solution to the Schrödinger equation with boundary conditions other than zero?
SE, as we understand it, only applies to closed systems like Schrödinger's cat in a box.
The question itself contains a key point regarding boundary conditions that need to be clearly defined for SE.

U(1) is the group of transformations relevant for describing the properties of electrically charged particles: Electrodynamics can be defined as the field theory that's invariant under global Lorentz transformations and local U(1) transformations. That's why matter fields-that carry electric charge-belong to a representation of the U(1) gauge group. They, also, belong to a representation of the Poincaré group and it does make sense to ask what is the representation of electrically charged matter. The answer is that the representation is a direct product of the representation of the U(1) group and of the Poincaré group.

Dear friend Ismail Abbas
Thanks for encouragement my friend Ismail Abbas I am rewriting my answer with this motivation. I always loved Schrodinger equation since the day I was introduced with the solution of this equation and later become fan of Schrodinger's cat as well lol :).
Well, let me break it down for you, my friend Ismail Abbas . Schrödinger's equation isn't exclusively limited to infinite free space, but it's often introduced in that context for simplicity. The equation itself is a cornerstone in quantum mechanics, describing the behavior of quantum systems.
While the typical presentation might focus on scenarios like particles in an infinite well or free space, Schrödinger's equation can be applied to various potential energy landscapes. The untold story you mention might stem from introductory discussions, but it's not a strict constraint.
The wave function ψ doesn't necessarily need a vacuum or infinite space. It's a mathematical description of the probability amplitude of finding a particle at a certain position. The boundary conditions, as you Ismail Abbas rightly pointed out, depend on the specific situation, and they don't always have to be zero.
So, to answer your question, ψ can inhabit spaces beyond infinite free space, and Schrödinger's equation is more versatile than it might seem at first glance. Let me know if you Ismail Abbas want to dive deeper into the quantum realm!

Why electric field lines are perpendicular to electric field and orientation of electric and magnetic waves in electromagnetic waves?
Relevant answer
Answer
The electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave are always perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. This is a fundamental property of electromagnetic waves and is a consequence of Maxwell's equations, which describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.
Electric field lines are imaginary lines that represent the direction and strength of the electric field. The direction of the electric field is tangent to the electric field lines. The number of electric field lines passing through a given area is proportional to the strength of the electric field.
The orientation of the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave is determined by the direction of wave propagation. The electric field vector is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, and the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to both the electric field vector and the direction of wave propagation.
The reason why the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other is because they are generated by each other. When an electric field changes, it produces a magnetic field. When a magnetic field changes, it produces an electric field. This reciprocal relationship between the electric and magnetic fields is what causes them to be perpendicular to each other and to propagate through space as an electromagnetic wave.
The perpendicularity of the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave has several important consequences. One consequence is that electromagnetic waves can travel through space without the need for any medium. This is because the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave are self-sustaining and do not require the presence of any material particles to exist.
Another consequence of the perpendicularity of the electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave is that they can be polarized. Polarization is the orientation of the electric field vector in an electromagnetic wave. There are three types of polarization: linear polarization, circular polarization, and elliptical polarization.
Linear polarization is the simplest type of polarization. In a linearly polarized wave, the electric field vector oscillates in a single plane. The direction of the electric field vector is called the polarization axis.
Circular polarization is a more complex type of polarization. In a circularly polarized wave, the electric field vector rotates in a circle as the wave propagates. The direction of rotation of the electric field vector is called the handedness of the polarization.
Elliptical polarization is a type of polarization that is in between linear and circular polarization. In an elliptically polarized wave, the electric field vector traces out an ellipse as the wave propagates. The shape of the ellipse is determined by the relative strengths of the horizontal and vertical components of the electric field vector.
The polarization of an electromagnetic wave can be measured using a polarizer. A polarizer is a device that only allows light waves with a certain polarization to pass through. Polarizers are used in a variety of applications, such as sunglasses, camera lenses, and LCD screens.

Subject: Proposal for Discussion: Exploring Connections Between Borwein Integrals and the Fine Structure Constant
Dear ResearchGate Community,
I trust this message finds you well. My name is Dr. Dario Delgado, an electrochemist with a keen interest in particle physics. I have been pondering the enigma of the fine structure constant, a numerical curiosity at 1/137, and would like to share some speculative thoughts that might spark an interesting discussion and potentially contribute to the ongoing exploration of fundamental physics.
  1. A Next Layer of Physics:I propose considering the fine structure constant as a potential bridge between the Standard Model and more abstract frameworks like string theory. Perhaps it represents a layer of physics waiting to be uncovered.
  2. Equational Limits:To further investigate its significance, I suggest exploring equations that yield 137 as a limit. Could there be an integral or mathematical expression, akin to the Borwein Integrals, that converges to a value close to 137, shedding light on the nature of the fine structure constant?
  3. Feynman Diagrams and Interactions:Drawing inspiration from Feynman Diagrams, which depict particle interactions through vertices, one might consider the multiplication of variables at these vertices. The idea here is that more vertices could imply less likelihood, echoing the complex nature of particle interactions. This concept could be explored further to understand the origins of the fine structure constant.
  4. Esoteric Mathematics and Hypothesis Formulation:In the pursuit of explaining particle physics phenomena, the integration of esoteric mathematics might serve as a guide. We could propose equations yielding numbers close to our sought-after values and iteratively refine our hypotheses until a viable model emerges.
  5. Borwein Integrals and Sine Waves:Upon examining the Borwein Integrals, particularly in the context of their interactions with Cos functions, I observed a fascinating breakpoint around 113, equating to Phi. Given the common use of sine waves to represent vibrations, especially in string theory, could the multiple combinations of these waves be an underlying factor influencing the fine structure constant?
I acknowledge that these thoughts may seem speculative, but in the world of quantum physics, where explanations are often counterintuitive, exploring unconventional avenues can lead to groundbreaking insights. I welcome your thoughts, critiques, and suggestions on these musings and would be delighted to engage in a collaborative discussion.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the collective exploration of these ideas.
Best regards,
Dr. Dario Delgado

This video explains the Integral quite well:
Original text:
I have watched several seminars on particle physics, and it caught my attention the following, the fine structure constant, a number that is 1/137; being of interest the 137 as one can inverse the result of an equation. A representative model should consider:
1) the fine structure constant must be a next layer of physics that is for example anything in between the standard model and the string model (believe to be the most fundamental equation for a theory of everything).
2) It has to be the result of an equation that yields 137 as a limit, for example an integral that gives as a result anything close to 137 (the number is quite close to that, it is believed).
3) Looking at the Feynman Diagrams, there are interactions that are represented by the vertices of these Diagrams, the more vertices the less likelihood for them to happen, each interaction/Vertice is represented by a multiplication of variables, and there are multiple interactions that can explain an interaction, say the collision of electrons when photons are exchanged but these photons can undergo other processes with what they call virtual particles.
4) in Physics, sometimes esoteric mathematics are sought to be a sign for explaining particle physics phenomena, one could propose an equation that yield a number that is close to what one seeks and then propose a hypothesis, then iterate until a suitable model is gotten.
5) Looking at the Borwein Integrals, from the article titled "some remarkable properties of Sinc and related integrals", it is free of access by the way, I couldn't help to notice that multiplication of Sinc integrals when combined with Cos, break at about 113, the equality to Phi. Now, Sines are normally used to represent waves, that is if the string theory has some ground, strings would vibrate as sines, the multiple combination of these sines could be the underlying physics of the fine structure constant, that my hypothesis.
There is no current explanation of that constant, although it is believed that such as explanation would be the next step from the well known "the standard model". I just wanted to share my thoughts, they might seem a bit off but, quantum physics is quite off anyways and explanations are often counter intuitive. this could be a line of research for theorist in particle physics.

The PARCHG file is structured similar to the CHGCAR. The columns do not represent anything in particular, they are just the charge density value at a certain point in the cell, but structured into columns.
Once you have the PARCHG file you should be able to visualize it in VESTA, just make sure the name is only PARCHG or ending with .vasp, otherwise it may not recongnize it.
For plotting the VB and CB, you can follow this link: https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/Band_decomposed_charge_densities. But as a summary, you should use the IBAND key with the band indices of the last occupied band and first unoccupied band (which you can see in the OUTCAR or EIGENVAL files)

Is incoming solar radiation long wave and what happens to the incoming solar radiation after it is absorbed by the Earth's surface and given off as heat?
Relevant answer
Answer
Shortwave solar radiation that's absorbed by Earth's surface or atmosphere is re-radiated it as longwave, infrared radiation, also known as heat. The more solar radiation is absorbed, the more heat is re-radiated and the temperature of the atmosphere goes up. Incoming solar radiation is shortwave, ultraviolet, and visible radiation; outgoing Earth radiation is long wave infrared radiation.The Sun emits radiation at a shorter wavelength than the Earth because it has a higher temperature and Planck's curve for higher temperatures peaks at shorter wavelengths. It is for this reason that Earth's radiation is referred to as long wave and the Sun's radiation is shortwave. All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat. Incoming Solar Radiation it all starts with the Sun, where the fusion of hydrogen creates an immense amount of energy, heating the surface to around 6000°K; the Sun then radiates energy outwards in the form of ultraviolet and visible light, with a bit in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. Heat resulting from the absorption of incoming shortwave radiation is emitted as long wave radiation. Radiation from the warmed upper atmosphere, along with a small amount from the Earth's surface, radiates out to space.Absorption of sunlight causes the molecules of the object or surface it strikes to vibrate faster, increasing its temperature. This energy is then re-radiated by the Earth as long wave, infrared radiation, also known as heat. Therefore, absorption occurs due to the presence of water vapour, carbon dioxide, and ozone in the atmosphere and other particulate matter. The heat generated by this absorption is emitted as long wave infrared radiation, some of which radiates out into space.

can anyone help me for my Problem. I have a design of a microstrip line from Ansys HFSS and i did import it to cst studio and i want to define the ports in cst studio with the discrete port between 50-450 Ghz to get the S-parameters at the end. And i see that i get wrong results for the S11 and S21, i dont know why because I already used the wave guide-port both sides and that was also wrong. here below are some photos.
Relevant answer
Answer
The impedance of microstrip is affected by fields above the top line, as well as several line-widths or substrate thicknesses each side, so you need to make your port big enough if the port impedance is to be the same as the impedance of the microstrip. A discrete port will not be a very good match to the microstrip you show, I think. A waveguide port with a port 3 times the height of the substrate and 6 times as wide as the line or the substrate thickness should get the right impedance. It doesn't take long to check. CST has the option in the simulation window to just calculate the port modes, so you can change the size and see what happens. The port modes are in 2D results and can be plotted. If the fields are significant near the open port edges then the port is too small.

Is the ME antenna far field radiation is similar to the conventional electric antenna?When the distance is larger than 2L²/lamda(wave length of EM wave)
Relevant answer
Answer
No, it is larger. That definition is for the distance where the wave-fronts appear close enough to spherical for practical purposes, which is when the distance from all radiating points on the antenna to any single point on the sphere don't differ by more than 1/8 wavelength. For antennas that are smaller than a few wavelengths across, the reactive fields, that contain stored energy that doesn't radiate, reaches out a few wavelengths, resulting in the reactive near field, which has a larger radius than calculated by your formula. In this region transformer coupling or capacitive coupling would be more significant than radiative coupling.
These reactive near fields contain stored energy that is used (by Chu) to define the minimum Q or maximum bandwidth of a "small" antenna (that doesn't have any losses other than radiation or mismatch).

Using magnetic waves instead of steam in a heat exchanger has several advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
  1. Enhanced Heat Transfer: Magnetic waves can significantly enhance the heat transfer rate, especially for nanofluids, when an external magnetic field is imposed. This can lead to improved efficiency in heat exchange systems.
  2. Direct Conversion: Using magnetic waves eliminates the need for an intermediate conversion process, directly converting solar energy into electric energy in solar energy-driven power-generating systems.
Disadvantages:
  1. Increased Flow Resistance: The magnetoviscous effects induced by magnetic fields can increase flow resistance and offset the possible convective heat transfer enhancement in ferrofluids. This makes their use as potential heat transfer mediums challenging, especially in strong magnetic fields1.
  2. Economic Evaluation: The economic potential and cost of magnetic refrigerators and heat pumps need to be evaluated.
It’s important to note that these are general points, and the specific advantages and disadvantages can vary depending on the application and system design.

I'm currently using 30% h202 for this reaction, but I never saw such behavior before. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be?

How does energy from the convection zone travel through the radiative zone and what is a form of energy that travels as waves from the Sun to the earth?
Relevant answer
Answer
The core, radiative zone and convection zone are the three inner layers. The nuclear reactions in the core produce plasmatic energy. This energy transfers inside the radiative zone as photon emission through radiation. The differential rotation of the radiative zone passes through the convection zone. A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable due to convection. Energy is primarily or partially transported by convection in such a region. In a radiation zone, energy is transported by radiation and conduction. The Radiative Zone - Energy moves slowly outward, taking more than 170,000 years to radiate through this layer of the Sun. The Convection Zone - Energy continues to move toward the surface through convection currents of the heated and cooled gas.The difference between the radiation zone and the convection zone is as follows: The radiation zone of the Sun is the interior region of the sun, or the core of the Sun, from where the energy is generated due to fusion. The convection zone is the outermost inner layer above the radiation zone. Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth via electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Most of the energy that passes through the upper atmosphere and reaches Earth's surface is in two forms, visible and infrared light. The majority of this light is in the visible spectrum. The radiative zone of the sun surrounds the core. The temperature of the radiative zone ranges from about 2,000,000ºC to 7,000,000 ºC. In the radiative zone, energy moves outward in the form of electromagnetic waves, or radiation. This is a slow process since each re-emission is in new and random directions. The radiative zone begins about 25% of the way out from the Sun's center and extends to 0.7 Solar radii, and it can take a photon more than 50,000 years to traverse this distance. The interior layer of the Sun includes the core, radiative zone, and convective zone. The photosphere is the surface layer of the Sun, and the solar atmosphere includes the chromosphere and corona. Option 3 is correct, i.e. Radiation. Solar energy, in the form of heat and light, travels from the sun to Earth through the process of radiation. The Sun is the principal source of energy on the Earth's surface. It is like a powerhouse who generates and gives out energy in the form of light and heat. This energy constantly emitted by the sun is known as solar energy. Electromagnetic energy is radiant energy that travels in waves at the speed of light. It can also be described as radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic waves, light, or the movement of radiation. Energy from the Sun is the driver of many Earth System processes. This energy flows into the Atmosphere and heats this system up It also heats up the Hydrosphere and the land surface of the Geosphere, and fuels many processes in the Biosphere.

There are two different waves of the gravitational field (GF):
1. Gravitational field transverse wave. What it reflects is the disturbance of the surrounding GF, and the transmission speed of this disturbance is equal to the slow light speed c. For example, the motion of the sun disturbs the GF generated by the center of the galaxy, causing transverse waves of GF around the sun.
2. Gravitational field longitudinal wave. It is generated by the gravitational source itself, and GF will transfer energy quickly, and this speed is much greater than the speed of light c.
When the gravitational source changes (position, mass), this change will first be reflected on the longitudinal wave of GF, and distant objects will feel the change of GF soon. At the same time, the disturbance of the gravitational source to other surrounding GFs will propagate to the surroundings at a slow speed c in the form of transverse waves.
To make an inappropriate analogy: when you throw a stone into a calm lake, you will observe slow water waves spreading around, which is the disturbance of the stone to the water surface, thus generating water waves. But in addition to water waves, there are sound waves in the water. The speed of the sound waves is much faster than that of the water waves, and the sound waves in the water arrive long before the slow water waves reach the shore.
A brief summary: the longitudinal wave of GF is produced by the gravitational source itself, and the transverse wave of GF is produced by the disturbance of the gravitational source to other surrounding GFs.
Newtonian gravity studies "sound waves in water", the longitudinal waves of GF.
Einstein GR studies the "water wave", that is, the transverse wave of GF.
I hope that you can understand the whole gravity from my simple narrative. You can also download my two papers on gravity here:

We assume that the statistical matrix definition of the quantum wave function Ψ differentiates the allowed wave functions from the forbidden wave functions.
Moreover, the allowed wave functions and the forbidden wave functions given by the statistics of nature coincide with those of Schrodiger PDE.
The question arises: which is the most complete or contains the most information about the quantum system?

Answer
Answer III-continued
Iteratively solving the time-dependent PDE requires knowledge of the energy density eigenvalues ​​to use as input in the calculation of the wave function Ψ(x,t).
In the description of quantum mechanics via the Shrödinger equation, we have the only a priori data which is the applied potential V(x, t) as a function of space and time and there is a long path to arrive to eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors.
However, in 1953, Numerov and Wolgang introduced the matrix description to numerically solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation (dΨ /dt]partial=E Ψ ]
Their matrix description is expressed as follows:
-h^2/2m = {Ψ(n-1)-2 Ψ(n)+Ψ(n+1)}/d^2 . . . . . (1)
which leads to the following Matrix-Form expression for the numerical solution of SE,
-h^2/2m d^2= M1.Ψ + M2.V . . . . (2)
where V is the intensity of the applied potential field, M1 is the tridiagonal transfer matrix M1 given by,
M1= -2 1 0 0 . . . 0 0
0 1-2 1 0 . 0 0
0 0 1-2 1 . 0 0
. . . . . .... . . . .
0 0 0 . . 0 -2 1
and M2 is the diagonal transfer matrix,
M2 is given by,
V1 0 0 . . . 0 0 0
0 V2 0 0 . . . 0 0
0 0 V3 0 . . . 0 0
. . . . . . . . . . . .
ooooo. . . . 0 0 VN
We assume that equations 1,2 are inadequate for the following reasons:
1-They fail or are incomplete because they only calculate the wave function in steady state and do not allow its transient temporal evolution to be studied.
2-When the number of nodes N is large, as it should be (e.g. N = 20-50), the tridiagonal matrix M1 is almost impossible to invert and solve the resulting linear algebraic equation N in order to obtain the values numerical values ​​of Ψ (X).
It should be noted that by using the real chains of the matrix B and the complex chains of the matrix Q, (via a temporal discretization which replaces Planck's energy quantization and should differentiate possible wave functions from impossible wave functions ) the inversion of the matrix M1 (M1^-1) emerges spontaneously.

Dear ResearchGate members,
On one hand, there is a theory giving the reflection/transmission coefficients when acoustic planes waves propagating in a medium (rho0, c0) reach a finite thickness object (rho1, c1) with normal incidence. Such theory basically gives the thicknesses (n*lambda1/2) at which the object is theoretically acoustically transparent - of course, the width of the reduced reflection depends on the impedance mismatch between the 2 media – and the thicknesses ([2n-1]*lambda1/4) at which the object is fully reflective.
On the other hand, there is also theory giving the variation of the reflection coefficient depending on the incident angle of acoustic plane waves at the interface between two semi-infinite media (rho0, c0; rho1, c1). Over a critical angle (depending on the impedance mismatch between the two media), the reflection is theoretically total.
Now, here is my question: What is the behavior of the acoustic waves when the two phenomena are considered at the same time? If the plane waves reach a surface with an incident angle, and the reflective medium is finite in thickness (acoustic mirror)?
By experience and through simulations, it appears that over the critical angle, the reflection is not total, even with a mirror thickness for which the reflection is theoretically total.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I have a finite array of unit cells, completely backed with PEC. When I try to illuminate it with incident plane wave, I get strong scattered waves from the PEC, apart from scattering at desired directions. But the PEC at the back of the metasurface is supposed to block transmission of the incident wave. Still I get strong far field scattering.
I used both open boundary and FE-BI boundaries for the whole metasurface array for this this purpose with no positive results.
Kindly help me.
Relevant answer
Answer
The total field is the sum of the incident field and the scattered field. The incident field would have continued past place where the PEC layer is. When the PEC is in the way there is no field there, it is is in shadow. Part of the scattered field is the field that cancels the incident field to give zero or lower field in the shadow. For this reason there is scattered field behind PEC.

Is it reasonable to use np.random.rand() to randomly distribute the density, P-wave velocity, and S-wave velocity of the medium in this region?
Relevant answer
Answer
Anisotropy is the property of a material that makes it have different physical or electromagnetic characteristics in different directions. For example, an anisotropic material may have different electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, or optical refractive index along different axes. Anisotropy can affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a medium, such as light, radio, or controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) signals.
To assign local anisotropy attributes to forward models, you need to specify the direction and magnitude of the anisotropy for each element or region of the model. Depending on the type of anisotropy and the modeling method you use, there are different ways to do this. Here are some examples:
  • If you use a finite-element method (FEM) to model optical anisotropic media, you can use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to define the anisotropy tensor for each element of the mesh. The anisotropy tensor is a matrix that describes how the electric displacement vector relates to the electric field vector in a medium. You can also use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to perform a mode analysis and visualize the optical modes and dispersion curve of the anisotropic medium. For more details, you can refer to this link.
  • If you use a FEM to model CSEM signals in anisotropic media, you can use an adaptive edge-based FEM algorithm to deal with generally anisotropic conductive media. This algorithm uses unstructured tetrahedral grids that allow for complex model geometries and adaptive mesh refinement that controls the accuracy of the solution. You can also use this algorithm to investigate the effect of azimuthal anisotropy on frequency-domain CSEM responses. For more details, you can refer to this link.
  • If you use A-Frame to create 3D scenes with textures, you can use a custom component to set the anisotropy filtering value on A-Frame textures. Anisotropy filtering is a technique that improves the quality and sharpness of textures when viewed at oblique angles. You can use this component to modify the texture properties of any A-Frame entity that has a material component. For more details, you can refer to this link.

The Sagnac effect is a very well-known phenomenon applied also in Laser Gyros and GPS.
This paper shows that the Sagnac effect can be derived only with absolute simultaneity in the LAB frame https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09537.pdf
A moving detector, installed in a spinning closed loop, detects non-simultaneous EM waves emitted in opposite directions along the loop.
Sagnac's ingenious experiment in 1913 used a complicated set of mirrors with a beam splitter and an interferometer, set in rotation, to detect the non-simultaneous arrival of the EMwaves of a known same wavelength along opposite paths (bouncing on the same mirrors).
The value found by Sagnac, in terms of the variation of the phase at the rotating interferometer, corresponds to the following tested formula:
(1) Δϕ=4πAω / λc
  • ​A is the area enclosed by the light path (for a circle, 2A=πr^2).
  • ω is the angular velocity of the rotation.
  • λ is the wavelength of the light, c is the speed of light in vacuum.
The interval of time between the arrivals of the beams is easily obtained:
(2) Δt=4Aω /c2
In term of the instantaneous speed v of the interferometer and L the length of the path,
(3) Δt=2Lv/c2
verified for a generic loop of length L [1].
Eq.(3) is a first-order approximation of
(4) Δt=2 γ2vL/c2 the time measured by a stationary observer, from classical mechanics
(5) Δt=2γvL/c2 time measured by a comoving observer with the interferometer needs the application of the twin effect hence relativity.
Considering the contribution to the variation of the time for one wave alone
(6) Δt= γvL/c2
This is also the generic additional light-time of a wave to reach a moving target positioned at a distance L from the source when the wave was emitted.
It means that by varying the position of the target between emission and absorption, light has to cross a different path lengths than L, hence the time to connect the same objects at constant speed differs by γvL/c2
  • From Sagnac experiment is that the speed of light is independent from the speed of the source (wave behavior) Ritz ballistic theory of light was singled out
  • The measured light time to cover the loop at rest is L/c and differs from the one in motion by γvL/c2
The measured of SOL by a moving observer, if he assumes that the path of light to connect the clocks remains L, would become SOL+ = DS/Dt = L/(L/c-vL/c2 ) = c/(1-v/c).
Eq. (6) shows evidence of the term vγx/c2 in time transformations of LT (equivalent Lorentz version)
t'=γ-1t - vx'/c2
x'=γ(x-vt)
hence vx'/c2 =v *γ(x-vt)/c2
vγx/c2 - vtγ/c2
that term is due to the variation of the light-time due to the motion of the object in the frame where light is isotropic. In this case, one frame is preferred in the problem.
The same term enters directly in Einstein's version of LT
t'=γt - γvx/c2
Einstein considers the clocks in the new frame to be out of sync, necessary to make the frames equivalent. Such a term is demonstrated to be a light-time variation hence it is not possible to be an offset between clocks.
The Sagnac effect discriminates between the LE and SR, showing a way to find experimentally γvx/c2 to be a light time variation. if SOL is isotropic in one frame it cannot be the same in relative moving frames.
[1] Ruyong Wang et al, “Modified Sagnac experiment for measuring travel-time difference between counter-propagating light beams in a uniformly moving fiber”, Physics Letters A 312 (2003) 7-10, DOI:10.1016/S0375-9601(03)00575-9. https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/44141186.pdf
Relevant answer
Answer
I think we mostly agree this time except for a few things.
One problem is that sometimes you state inconsistent explanations.
For instance, you cannot prove that SRT is incorrect because it assumes that light speed is isotropic. That is an assumption that should be proved wrong with experiments, not by assuming the contrary.
There is no experimental evidence to assume anisotropy of the speed of light and the existence of an ether. That is why SRT is accepted to this very day by the orthodox scientific community.
On the other hand, to make sense of Lorentz's interpretation we need a preferred frame. That frame is the frame where the ether is static. The problem with the ether hypothesis is that it is not consistent with observations. But to understand that it is inconsistent with observations you need more than one single experiment. You can always accommodate things to explain a single experiment but not to explain all of them.
Perhaps TT does not use an ether frame and it is different from Lorentz's interpretation, I do not know. But if that is the case, I will repeat a question I already asked you before. How and on what physical hypothesis do you derive the TT? Or, is it just an ad hoc modification of the LT just to eliminate ROS?

How is the polarization of an em wave change when propagating through fog or rain? Say the wave is initially vertically polarized, how will rain and fog change its polarization?
Relevant answer
Answer
The polarization of an electromagnetic wave can be affected by rain and fog. Raindrops and fog droplets act as small dipoles, which means that they have a positive and negative charge. When an electromagnetic wave passes through rain or fog, the dipoles in the droplets interact with the wave and cause the wave's polarization to be changed.
The amount of change in polarization depends on the wavelength of the wave, the size of the droplets, and the density of the rain or fog. For shorter wavelengths, such as visible light, the change in polarization is more significant. For longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, the change in polarization is less significant.
The direction of the change in polarization depends on the orientation of the dipoles in the droplets. If the dipoles are randomly oriented, then the polarization of the wave will be randomly scattered. However, if the dipoles are aligned in a particular direction, then the polarization of the wave will be aligned in that direction.
For example, if a vertically polarized wave passes through rain or fog, the droplets will tend to rotate the wave's polarization to a horizontal direction. This is because the dipoles in the droplets are aligned horizontally, and they interact with the wave's electric field in a way that rotates the polarization.
The effect of rain and fog on polarization can be used to our advantage. For example, it can be used to improve the reception of radio waves. Radio waves are typically polarized horizontally, so if they pass through rain or fog, the polarization will be rotated to a vertical direction. This can be used to improve the reception of radio waves by using a vertical antenna.
The effect of rain and fog on polarization can also be used to study the properties of rain and fog. For example, by measuring the amount of change in polarization, we can learn about the size and density of the droplets. This information can be used to improve our understanding of rain and fog formation and behavior.

Electromagnetic rays emitted from mobile phone towers
Relevant answer
Answer
There is currently no strong evidence that the waves emitted by mobile phone towers cause cancer. The waves emitted by these towers are called radiofrequency (RF) waves, and they are a form of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to break chemical bonds in DNA, which is how ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, can cause cancer.
There have been some studies that have looked at the possible link between RF radiation and cancer, but the results have been mixed. Some studies have found a small increase in the risk of certain types of cancer, such as brain tumors, in people who are exposed to high levels of RF radiation. However, other studies have not found any such link.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization, has classified RF radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans". This classification is based on the limited evidence that suggests a possible increase in the risk of brain tumors among cell phone users. However, it is important to note that the IARC also states that more research is needed to confirm this link.
Overall, the current evidence does not suggest that the waves emitted by mobile phone towers cause cancer. However, more research is still needed to fully understand the possible risks. If you are concerned about the possible health effects of RF radiation, you can talk to your doctor.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
  • The amount of RF radiation you are exposed to from a mobile phone tower depends on how close you are to the tower, the power of the tower, and the orientation of the antenna.
  • You are more likely to be exposed to higher levels of RF radiation if you live or work near a mobile phone tower.
  • The risk of cancer from RF radiation is thought to be greatest for people who are exposed to high levels of radiation over a long period of time.
  • There are other factors that can increase your risk of cancer, such as smoking, exposure to chemicals, and family history.

Answer
Many people think that the quantum wave function Ψ is a vector belonging to a (separable) Hilbert space, which is not true.
It is surprising that Ψ is usually expressed as a vector or even a scalar depending on the geometric shape of the boundary conditions and the nature of the dependence of the applied potential over time.
It is true that the simple concept of Ψ(Psi) is a complex-valued function that encodes both magnitude and phase information. In many situations, Ψ can be represented as a sum of a sufficiently large number of trigonometric, sine or cosine functions, where the magnitude corresponds to the amplitude of the wave and the phase represents the starting point of the oscillation .
Conceptually, you can think of the magnitude of Ψ as encapsulating measurable quantities analogous to classical parameters. For example, in position space, the square of the magnitude of Ψ gives the probability density of finding a particle at a particular position.
N. Bohr once said that anyone who claims to understand SE, including himself, either has misunderstood or is simply a liar.
But what is the alternative to Schrödinger's equation and ?
The answer is that we assume that the most general and useful form of quantum wave function Ψ is a complex transfer matrix.
It is expected that an adequate statistical transition matrix (such as the complex matrix Q) can solve the time-dependent SE without the need for a mathematical solution of the SE equation or the interpretation of Bohr/ Copenhagen.
In such breakthrough solution techniques, you completely ignore SE as if it never existed.
So as not to overload the answer with the details of the theory, which is best described as an extension of the transition chains from the B matrix to the complex space.
We present a brief overview of the theory and its numerical validation.
The time-dependent numerical statistical solution of Schrödinger's PDE is given by,
Ψ(matrix)=W(transfer matrix) . BC (matrix)
BC is the vector of boundary conditions (in the case of a constant potential over time) or the matrix of boundary conditions when the applied potential varies with time.
W (transfer matrix) is expressed as:
W(N)=Q^0+Q+Q^2+Q^3+. . . +Q^N. . . . . (1)
Obviously Q^0=I, the unitary matrix.
N is the dimensionless time and Ndt =t the real time which is completely lost in the numerical statistical solution.
For a sufficiently large number of iterations, N Eq 1 gives the steady-state solution where W is expressed by:
W=1/(I-Q) . . . . . (2)
We know that,
Q=Sqrt(B) . . . . (3)
Where B is the actual transition matrix used in the solution of Laaplace, Poisson, PDE Heat Diffusion/Conduction,...etc.
0.15             1.63211572 1.63211584We also know that,For physical power matrices with positive symmetry, the sum of their eigenvalues ​​is equal to the eigenvalue of their sum of power series. . . . . . . . . . Principle (1)By somewhat expertly manipulating equations 1,2,3 in addition to principle (1), you can show that:
the formula 1/[1-SQRT(X)] can be expressed by the infinite integer series,1/[1-SQRT(X)] =X^0+X^1/2+X^3/2+. . . . +X^(N-1)/2 . . . (4)
Where X is an element of the interval ]0,1].We applied Equation 4 as a numerical validation of the Q transition matrix and the results were surprisingly accurate:

Dear all,
I am trying to find a way to find dispersion curves of plates using Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations. I used a repetitive procedure by sweeping through the frequencies and inside it increasing the phase velocity incrementally to find the roots of the equation.
In each frequency, there is some roots of phase velocity. As symmetric and asymmetric equations are already separated it is easy to separate data points of the two different waves. However, at the end of the process we have just (W frequency , Cp phase velocity) datapoints and after plotting the result we can see the behavior of the curves to manually define the mode number.
Main question: One way of clustering the data to different modes is to sweep through the data and define the first Cp as the mode zero, the second one as 1st mode and so on.
1. What if we had a crossing between curves?
2. I got some identical roots derived from both symmetric and asymmetric equations. How can one distinguish these datapoints correctly for the type of wave they belong?

Answer
The mode shapes between different modes are orthogonal, i.e., if the inner product of two mode shapes is close to 0, they are not the same mode. Conversely, if the inner product is not 0, they are the same mode. Errors may exist at positions where curves cross, which can be solved by reducing the computational interval.

Two waves Y1 and Y2 are said to be coherent if their phase shift Phi 1 -Phi 2 is constant over time.
The question arises, can quantum entanglement be assumed to be a kind of forced wave coherence similar to that described by Einstein's laser, Amplification of Light by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?.

Answer
What is waving in the Schrödinger equation and why is it called the “wave” of the Schrödinger equation, especially when its phase is undefined?
It is well known that there is theoretical and experimental evidence for a causal relationship between the phase of the wave function and physical reality.
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which only gives physical meaning to the magnitude of the wave function, cannot be considered complete on this basis.
* A new dynamic-statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics is needed [1,2].
Believe it or not, attaching a well-defined phase to the amplitude of the SE wave would no longer complicate it but on the contrary would make it more understandable and its solution more accessible.
However, we assume that defining a phase at the amplitude of SE can be done via two different approaches:
i-reform the Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation of the Schrödinger equation.
ii-Apply the complex transition matrix Q to find the statistical numerical solution of SE.
To be continued.

Hi Folks~ I'm working with a student and one of the supervisors has suggested using FA on responses from wave 1, to select items to use in wave 2; is this a) ethical and
b) rigorous?
I'm thinking no on both counts:
It would be polite to ask permission of the original authors/publishers to break up their scales; 'stacking the deck' re. hypothesis testing, as the full/part scale will be chosen based on those scoring in the direction wanted (on average)
Or am I missing something (or more than one thing ~:-)

Since the time of N.Bohr, E.Schrdinger, W.Heisenberg and all the great scientists, physicists and mathematicians have called Schrödinger's equation the quantum wave equation.
If we agree on a definition of wave as oscillations in space and time as in emw (E and H oscillate), Sound wave (pressure and displacement oscillate), then the question arises:
Have physicists and mathematicians worked out the details of Schrödinger's equation in different situations up to the 10th digit, but forgot to specify what oscillates there?

The iron guards of the Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation defend to the last breath all issues of this interpretation, whether true or false.
Thanks to the opposition of the new generation of theoretical physicists and mathematicians, the old iron guards are only a small remnant of the era of MacArthism where the mastery of quantum mechanics dominated: Shut up and calculate.
Going back to SE with Bohr's interpretation, I guess these are the three most common mistakes while I'm sure most Researchgate contributors can find more:
1- Units and Dimensions
Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation of the wave function Ψ
defines the units and dimensions of Ψ differently depending on the number of dimensions of the receiving space.
i-For a spatial wave function of position 1D Ψ(x)
the normalization condition would be ∫Ψ∗(x)Ψ(x)dx=1
so Ψ has inverse square root units of length, which is m−1/2
ii-Similarly, for a three-dimensional position, the spatial wave function Ψ(x) has its own normalization condition such as:
∫Ψ∗(x)Ψ(x)d^3x=1
Ψ(x) has units of square root of inverse volume, which is m−3/2
Moreover, theoretical physics does not allow it, it is not acceptable.
Units and dimensions must be raised to zero or a whole whole power, but never to a fraction.
* If we compare this to the case of replacing SE with the statistical matrices Q and W, we find that the dimensions of W and Q are always the square root of the energy density per unit volume and the same is true for 1D, 2D and 3D.
The normalization condition is a pure summation condition and not an integration condition which is the sum of the multiplication.
.
2- The problem of distance and infinity
Distance is still defined in essentially the same way as in classical physics. In other words, spacetime is a flat Euclidean space with the usual Euclidean distance.
If we talk about the distance between two quantum particles, they must have a definite position in order to measure the distance between them. This requires them to be in proper positional states.
We assume that the SE interpretation with Bohr is limited to the study of the hydrogen-like atom where the total diameter distance is a few angstroms (Å) (1 A = 1E-10 m) and the effective electron radius is estimated at E -2 angstrom (Å).
The n=infinity mentioned in SE relates to the quantum number of infinite principle n which again corresponds to the diameter of the hydrogen atom by a few angeströms.
Obviously, the units and dimensions of the distance are not well defined in the SE interpretation.
** If we compare this to the case of replacing SE by the statistical matrices Q and W, we see that in the latter case the distance is well defined in 1D, 2D and 3D geometric spaces simply by ordering and arranging the nodes in these as we did for the actual transition matrix B.
3- Rigorous derivation
There is no rigorous or even serious derivation of SE with the Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation.
E. Schrödinger's solid derivation in 1927 proved other concepts in his equation and he himself considered the Bohr/Copenhagen interpretation an unpleasant joke. He expressed his feelings and thoughts through his well-known paradox. (Schrödinger's cat dead or alive).
*** If we compare this to the case of replacing SE with the numerical solution of the temporal chains of the statistical matrix Q, we see that in the latter case the derivation emerges from the well-proven statistical transition matrix B. Moreover, the results of the B-strings and Q-strings are
numerically validated.

YES! THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN IN “PLANAR CRACKS IN UNIFORM MOTION UNDER MODE I AND II LOADINGS” (ANONGBA 2020).
Earlier works have suggested that crack speeds v could not exceed Rayleigh wave velocity, in the subsonic velocity regime (v< ct transverse sound wave velocity).
Relevant answer
Answer
YES! THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN IN “PLANAR CRACKS IN UNIFORM MOTION UNDER MODE I AND II LOADINGS” (ANONGBA 2020).
THIS IS WITHIN THE THEORY OF LINEAR ELASTICITY!!!
In mode I loading and in the subsonic velocity regime (v < ct, the velocity of transverse sound wave), G (I) increases continuously with v from the value in the static case G(I)0 (v = 0) to a maximum G(I)max = 1.32 G(I)0 at v = v (e) =0.52ct; then, G (I) decreases rapidly to zero when v tends to ct. In agreement with experiments, the value v (e) corresponding to the maximum of the crack extension force is identified to the terminal tensile crack velocity, observed in the fracture of brittle materials. No reference is made to the Rayleigh wave velocity cR. In the transonic speed regime (ct < v < cl), the crack characteristic functions are identical in form with those of the subsonic regime. However, for v < ct√2, we show that the faces of the crack, separated under load before the extension of the crack, close under motion; this indicates that the crack movement is hindered. for v > ct√2, the motion of the crack is possible. In mode II loading and in the subsonic regime (v < ct), G (II) increases continuously with v (when v < cR) from the value in the static case G(II)0(v = 0); when v approaches cR, G (II) increases very rapidly. Above cR (cR < v < ct), the relative displacement of the faces of the crack, formed under load before crack motion, closes in motion; this indicates that crack motion is impeded. The velocity of uniformly moving cracks is limited by the Rayleigh wave velocity. In the intermediate speed regime (ct < v < cl), the crack characteristic functions are similar in form to those below cR. The mouvement of the crack is possible.

In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation calculated wavefunctions with a wave structure over space and changing over time. The Copenhagen interpretation, namely Born‘s interpretation states that the square modulus of the wavefunction represents the probability density function of the particle over space and time. Thus, there will be a distribution of the particle over space because we know particles are moving in the system and may favor some locations.
This is a very confusing explanation that several founders of Quantum Mechanics including Schrödinger himself, Einstein, and de Broglie have formally expressed disagreement.
I have been teaching undergraduate quantum chemistry for several years and also felt difficult to explain the probability density function why there are nodes in the solution where particles will never show up with no particular reason to avoid those places. I have been trying to come up with a different explanation of the wavefunctions with a preprint firstly posted on ChemRxiv in 4/2021. Since then I have been thinking on it and working on revisions while teaching quantum again in the past few years.
DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2022-xn4t8-v17
It reaches a very surprising conclusion that the wavefunction has nothing to do with statistics as Schrödinger himself has argued many times including the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment.
I recently posted the preprint in RG. Please take a read and comments are welcome. I will be teaching quantum again next semester now I have even more difficulties since I have lost beliefs on the classical interpretation.

Gravitational waves that are detected by the current detectors are of long wavelengths and are hence low on energy, but during the initial phase of the universe high energetic phenomena like cosmic strings may have given rise to GWs with high energy. So, what could have been the upper bound for the energy of this waves during that time.
Relevant answer
Answer
GW are produced typically under close rotation of two very heavy masses, like two black holes.
Never heard yet about origin from Cosmic Rays. This sound unlikely to me.(cannot imagine a mechanism).
Very high energy cosmic rays are thought to be a product of decay of some heavy particle.
When energetic cosmic rays come, all that happens are important particle showers, muons that in turn
decay into other particles.

From WIMP to axionic dark matter, their wave function has similar contribution on building the ocean of waves in the universe. Axions being pretty smaller than WIMP, ~10-6 μeV/c2 in mass, they have de Broglie wavelength very larger. Overlapping of one wave into another creates the complex phenomena which shapes the large structure of universe and distribution of matters into it.
So how does this scale of de Broglie wave of different candidates of dark matter; (WIMPs , axions, fuzzy), affects the behaviour and distribution in the universe? Simply how does the size of dark matter candidates affects the structure and distribution in universe?

Let’s continue, though firstly note, that all really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all in this case “Matter”, “Consciousness”, “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”, and so everything in Matter – particles, fields, fundamental Nature forces, etc., are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational in mainstream philosophy and sciences, including in mainstream physics,
- while all these phenomena/notions can be, and are, rigorously scientifically defined only in framework of the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see
- where it is rigorously proven that there exist nothing besides some informational patterns/systems of the patterns, which are elements in the absolutely fundamental and absolutely infinite “Information” Set, including Matter absolutely for sure is some informational system;
- and more concretely in physics in the SS&VT informational physical model, which is based on the conception, two main papers are
and
In the conception the outstanding fundamental von Weizsäcker and Fredkin-Toffoli hypotheses that Matter in ultimate base is based on binary reversible logics, which were some transcendent assumptions, become be completely legitimate and rational, so the SS&VT model is based on this proposition,
- correspondingly in the model the ultimate base of Matter is the Matter’s aether – primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [5]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], which compose the corresponding (at least) [5]4D dense lattice, which is placed in the corresponding Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [5]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z,ct),
- while everything in Matter is/are some specific disturbances in the lattice, which, including disturbances “particles”, always constantly move in the lattice with 4D velocities that have identical absolute values be equal the speed of light, c, since this speed is determined by the FLE’s universal parameters – “FLE size”, and “FLE flip time” which are equal to the Planck length and Planck time, c= Planck length /Planck time.
Particles are some cyclic close-loop algorithms which constantly run as sequential the lattice’s “FLE by FLE” flipping, when so the “FLE flip point” moves along some 4D “helix”, at that:
- if a having rest mass particle is at rest in the absolute 3D space, and so moves with speed of light only along the -axis, its helix has radius λ=ћ/mc, i.e. is the Compton length of the particle, the particle has 4D momentum P0=m0c[“bold” means 4D vector] and energy E=Pc=m0c2, m0 is the rest mass. If the particle is impacted by a 3D space directed momentum p, 4D momentum P=P0+p=γm0c,
- at that the initial 4D helix becomes be some composition of two helixes – initial one and that has radius λB=ћ/p, which is observed as a de Brogile wave that has the length be equal λB.
Correspondingly that
“….All the particles in question are point-like,….”
- really isn’t completely correct, particles only interact as “points” that have “sizes” ~ Planck length, however this “particle-point”, at least at interactions, randomly can be in any point in 4D [and 3D] space quite non-point-like volume that has size ~λB, if the particle’s speed is well lesser than c,
– what is observed in QM as the “wave-particle duality”.

i have generated a triangle wave in matlab and now i want to use that wave as input to my simulink model
Relevant answer
Answer
Simulink provides several ways to import data from MATLAB or other sources. One way is to use the "From Workspace" block in Simulink.
Here are the steps you can follow:
  1. In your MATLAB code, save the graph data as a variable in the workspace. For example, if your graph data is stored in a variable named "myGraphData", you can save it to a .mat file using the following command: save ('myGraphData.mat', 'myGraphData');
  2. In Simulink, add a "From Workspace" block to your model. This block allows you to import data from the MATLAB workspace.
  3. Double-click on the "From Workspace" block to open its dialog box. In the "Data" field, enter the name of the variable that contains your graph data (in this case, "myGraphData").
  4. Set the "Sample time" parameter to the appropriate value depending on how often you want the data to be sampled.
  5. Connect the output of the "From Workspace" block to your logic.
  6. Run the simulation.
Your logic should now receive the graph data as input from the "From Workspace" block.
You can use the "From Workspace" block in Simulink to input your generated triangle wave from MATLAB. Here are the steps you can follow:
  1. Generate your triangle wave in MATLAB and save it as a variable in the workspace. For example, if your triangle wave is saved as a variable named "triangleWave", you can save it to a .mat file using the following command: save('triangle_wave.mat', 'triangleWave');
  2. In your Simulink model, add a "From Workspace" block.
  3. Double-click on the "From Workspace" block to open its parameters dialog box.
  4. In the "Data" field, enter the name of the variable that contains your triangle wave (in this case, "triangleWave").
  5. Set the "Sample time" parameter to the appropriate value depending on how often you want the data to be sampled.
  6. Connect the output of the "From Workspace" block to the input of your simulink model.
  7. Run the simulation.
Your triangle wave should now be used as input to your Simulink model. Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!

I am working on a paper on smoking and depression in a sample of approximately n=2.000 subjects, and for that, I use longitudinal data (5 waves, 2 years between each wave). For a part of the paper, I want to analyse determinants of smoking in those with depression (both depression and smoking are time-varying variables). The most simple solution would be to do a cross-sectional analysis (for example with the baseline data), but I was wondering whether I could also use all data, and perform a mixed models analysis but without TIME. I feel that the additional value of doing that would be to 1. have more data points (5x2.000=10.000 instead of 2.000); and 2. not only to make a between-person interpretation but also a within-person interpretation. However, I have never read a paper, answering this type of questions (determinants of condition x in disease y) doing a mixed models analysis. Therefore my questions is: am i right and should I do it this way, or do I miss a critical argument not to do so?
Relevant answer
Answer
There may be some additional value of using mixed models for this type of analytic question, depending on the research objectives and the characteristics of the data. Mixed models are a flexible and powerful tool for analyzing longitudinal data, as they can account for the correlation among repeated measurements within subjects, handle missing data under certain assumptions, and model both fixed and random effects of covariates. Mixed models can also provide both conditional and marginal interpretations of the effects of interest, depending on the specification of the model.
However, mixed models are not without limitations or challenges. They require careful selection and justification of the covariance structure, the distributional assumptions, and the random effects. They may also suffer from computational difficulties or convergence issues when fitting complex models to large datasets. Moreover, mixed models may not be appropriate or necessary for some research questions or data scenarios. For example, if the main interest is in testing for time trends or interactions with time, then a simpler approach such as a generalized estimating equation (GEE) may suffice. Alternatively, if the main interest is in modeling the transition probabilities or the dependence structure of the outcomes over time, then a different approach such as a Markov model or a copula model may be more suitable.
Therefore, the choice of using mixed models for this type of analytic question should be based on a clear understanding of the research question, the data structure, and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. A comparison of different methods using simulation studies or sensitivity analyses may also help to evaluate the robustness and validity of the results.
I cannot comment on your concrete model without knowing more details about it, such as the outcome variable, the predictor variables, the number and spacing of the time points, the distribution and correlation of the data, and the research hypotheses. However, based on the general description of your question, I can suggest some possible steps to consider when applying mixed models to your data:
- Explore and visualize your data to check for outliers, missing values, trends, patterns, and assumptions.
- Decide whether you want to use a linear mixed model or a generalized linear mixed model, depending on the type and distribution of your outcome variable.
- Choose an appropriate covariance structure for the random effects and the residuals, such as compound symmetry, autoregressive, or unstructured. You can use information criteria such as AIC or BIC to compare different structures and select the best one.
- Specify the fixed effects and the random effects in your model. You can include both time-invariant and time-varying covariates as fixed effects. You can also include random intercepts and/or random slopes for subjects or other grouping factors. You can use likelihood ratio tests or Wald tests to test for significance of the fixed effects and the random effects.
- Fit your model using a software such as R or SPSS. Check for convergence, diagnostics, and model fit. You can use plots or tests to assess normality, homoscedasticity, linearity, and independence of the residuals. You can also use cross-validation or bootstrap methods to evaluate the predictive performance of your model.
- Interpret your model results in terms of conditional or marginal effects. You can use confidence intervals or hypothesis tests to estimate and compare the effects of different covariates on the outcome variable. You can also use plots or tables to visualize the effects over time or across groups.

How waves carry energy but not matter and how does energy move during changes of matter?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Rk Naresh, waves are a means by which energy is transmitted through a medium or space, but they do not transfer matter. When a wave propagates, it carries energy from one location to another without physically displacing the particles of the medium. This is known as the transfer of energy without the transfer of matter.
During changes of matter, energy transfer occurs through the exchange of kinetic energy between particles. Energy is absorbed or released as the particles' motions change due to changes in temperature or other external factors. It's important to note that energy transfer is not limited to phase changes but also applies to other processes like chemical reactions, where the arrangement of atoms and molecules is altered while energy is exchanged.
waves transmit energy without transferring matter, and during changes of matter, energy is transferred through the exchange of kinetic energy between particles.

Scientists, and many other people, have pondered this question. This article - (PDF) Graviton-Photon Interaction and Mass Generation: A Vector-Tensor-Scalar Geometry Approach (researchgate.net) - speaks of retarded and advanced gravitational and electromagnetic waves which respectively travel forwards and back in time, cancelling each other and entangling particles throughout the universe (the physicist Richard Feynman loved advanced waves). It also says particles are thus united into one place in space-time and the idea of their existing in two spots, or times, at once is an outlook resulting from perception of all things and events as distinct and separate. As page 12 of the article puts it, “An alternative interpretation might see these particles unified into a singular entity by the action of advanced and retarded waves, leading to a concept we might call “unipositionality”, drawing from the Latin ’unus’ meaning one.”
If we accept the articles’ propositions, all of space-time plus its contents would be a single entity – a step towards a Unified Field Theory, a Theory of Everything or Quantum Gravity - and the equation 1+1=2 (and presumably every other equation, no matter how complex) appears at first glance to be obviously impossible. Yet those same equations do describe the world and universe remarkably accurately. Is there another explanation besides the apparent one – someday there will be a human civilization that can build their mathematics into the creation, structure, and functioning of life and the cosmos. Emotion may well declare this an absurdity and we might retreat to things like quantum fluctuation or spontaneous creation from nothing. Logically – using Einstein’s nonlinear, curved time added to limitless advance of human potential through the eons – the absurdity is plausible.

What is the similarity between matter and energy and relationship between matter and energy in waves?
Relevant answer
Answer
The matter is anything in our universe that occupies space and has mass. The mass is the measurement of the matter. On the other hand, energy is defined as the ability to do work or the ability to transfer heat. Examples of matter and energy are book and light energy respectively. Food webs can be used to reveal different patterns of energy transfer in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Patterns of energy flow through different ecosystems may differ markedly in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Food webs can be used to reveal these differences. Normally, food webs consist of a number of food chains meshed together. Each food chain is a descriptive diagram including a series of arrows, each pointing from one species to another, representing the flow of food energy from one feeding group of organisms to another. The wave function for a material particle is often called a matter wave. The relationship between momentum and wavelength for matter waves is given by p = h/λ, and the relationship energy and frequency is E = hf. So energy and matter is really the same thing. Completely interchangeable and finally, although energy and mass are related through special relativity, mass and space are related through general relativity.
