As I said, my stuff is classical, But could you expound on this? Thanks for the response, by the way. Are Weyl semimetals and spin liquids best written in microscopic or macroscopic form?

(This is not really an advanced question, but one for physicists advanced in this science, which I am not.) In fairly recent investigation, the signature of Dirac monopoles was observed in spin ice. Say I possessed a consistent mathematical development allowing for both magnetic monopoles and...

Do you think the topic is evolution vs. creationism? I think you are fighting the wrong battle. I don't understand what this is all about, but I am fairly sure that spending time arguing on creationist vs. evolutionist web sites can drive one to excess, and I recommend against it, if this is...

The electric and magnetic fields can be thought of as the result of what is called the 4-vector potential. This is a vector that has a time-like part. Imagine an isolated region of space populated only with static charges. Only electric fields result. There are no magnetic fields present, and...

How about something concrete to discuss. What falsely projected traits do you think are commonly attributed to animals? I can think of one possible. A dog looking at you with a toothy smile, is actually both hot and wants something. But is this really commonly misunderstood?

See 4 other Charging of capacitor threads.

It helps to look at it the other way around. Charge the two capacitors in series then separate them. Nothing special happens. You can even assign a potential of zero volts to the center node, if that helps.

Say, for example, ##\frac{i}{\sqrt{3}}R + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}G - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}B##, how would you apply charge conjugation?

Might I open a slightly different manner of query that might have some resolution? It could very well be that this idea is not very good. If so, I would like to know why, in the language that even a non-particle physicist would understand. We could represent a standard model particle ##P## as...

Thanks for the heads-up. I look forward to reading it.

Thanks. The integral form rounds things out. My job is to replace the hodge-podge development in vector calculus, at home in 3 dimensions + time, with a tensor equivalent development, and a few other things. One thing to notice is that the left hand side of the Poynting vector (where charge and...

I want it all and I want it now. Seriously though, after little bit of review, this is really too much for a forum and I need to do some research. I do appreciate the hints. Do you know an integral form of the Poynting vector equation?

The poytning theorem without interpretation is directly desendendent from maxwells equations, and should not be in contradiction to the covariant derivative of the electromagnetic stress tensor, so there should be some logical development from maxwell to the stress tensor motivating the em...

"there has been quite a lot of research done on the cuteness factor." Really? Have the pointy headed intelluctals also figured this out?

****There are many motors-- things that translate electrical energy to mechanical energy. Which one do you have in mind?
