    Greetings everyone!

    I have heard of something called a Quantum Gap, but I can't find any detailed explanation of what it is. Could someone explain this to me, please?

    It's a value that a particle cannot have i.e. the space inbetween the alowed orbits of an electron or the area inbetwee the allowed energy values of a photon.

    That quite alright old chap, you would be an absolute genius to understand that though if you havn't studied quantum physics. I recommend you do(if you haven't), It's nearly as good as sex.

    Of course, there's only four systems with exact solutions that have any bearing on the real world, and everything else is perturbation...

    Language gap is an enigma too.

    Many people know about the Quantum Physics concept of the specific allowable states of a particle, but have never before heard the weird and unintelligible slang expression " quantum gap". It makes no connection to previous knowledge unless a punster explains it.

    I was assuming it was an amalgam of quantum leap and energy gap. Anyway thats rich coming from someone who constantly says established physics is wrong anyway.

    Only a complete idiot or a pathelogical liar would say that I constantly say that about established physics.

    Only a complete idiot or a pathelogical liar would say that I have ever said that about established physics.

    I strongly believe that the main body of established physics is very well proven and is on safe ground. I believe, and have plainly stated that I have the opinion that Relativity is of questionable legitimacy.

    If you can back up your slanderous and deliberate lies about my opinion of established physics, then post your proof HERE.

    Your sayings about what you think you remember seeing in a natural or dope induced halucination in your parallel reality do not have any value.

    Why are you attacking me like this fag?
    I merely assumed (like any intelligent physics student), that the guy was talking about disallowed energy levels and the fact that a fraction of a quantum cannot exist.
    The fact that you dont see this and are also attacking me like this just goes to show how you have complete lack of understanding of physics (hence your relativity retarded ravings) and merely resort to pasting equations to appear smart to your fellow retards.

    QuantAm?
    QuantUm.

    under__ing?
    underSTanding.

    I generally don't post equations but rather refer intelligent readers to peer reviewed and authoritative reference books where they may view the established equations themselves. Are you refering to equations you saw in your halucination of reality?

    Am I attacking you? Someone might imagine that when you totally lyingly claimed that I disbelieved the main body of science, I might justifiably retaliate against a ridiculous prevarication by attacking the liar who crapped it out of their mouth. Is that what you mean?

    Look you fucking spastic! Take a physics class, then maybe you will see how 1000s of real pysicists have proven relativity to be correct and retards like you are just self loving morons who should have been euthanized at birth.

    While, during my long lifetime, I have engaged in consensual intercourse with persons of the opposite sex on too many times too now count, I object to your obviously rude and excessively profane intention in calling me f***ing.

    Praise the Lord for my relatively good health all my life!, I am not subject to spasms and never have been.

    I have taken physics classes in highly regarded and accredited colleges.

    I object to the statement that 1000s of real physicists have proven Relativity to be true: the actual number of real physicists who have published claims of proof, based on either actual science experiments or logical and mathematical proof is much, much smaller. However, if you wish to post an exact proven list of those you claim, I will be as eager as anyone else to read it.

    On the basis of a number of IQ tests, taken years ago, admittedly, My IQ is in the genius level, and, in fact, high within the genius level. Retard? Well, in my teen years I was very awkward and possibly socially retarded around lovely girls that I wanted to romance, but that is really not too unusual.

    I do properly love and wish to protect myself and my well being, and wish to love and help my personal and altruistic ambitions. You think a human should hate themself?

    Euthanizing of infants at their birth is a very touchy issue among the majority of humans. Are you sure you want to go on record as advocating it? I have an idea: post your real name and address and then bask in the amount of support you get from the general public. OK?

    Well in the fact that its been experimentally verified and things like saterlites have to take relativity into account to keep accurate time, it has been proven(OK you can philosophise that nothing can be proven and I wager you probably will).
    So are you implying you attended a college that is anti-relativity(I very much doubt it, only quacks and the unversed deny one of the most solid principles of modern physics ). Having said that you are free to believe what ever you like and I was told at university that a proportion of qualified physicists still dont understand relativity, but you started on me so I returned in kind.


    As for my misspelling of quantum(which I have already spelt correctly earlier in the thread even), I went to write the plural but changed it and didn't realize I didnt change the 'a'. I cant be fucked to go over that which I have written every time to please the anally retentive.

    Your implications of what I said are in your head, probably never very lucid, and not in my words.

    I AM VERY CAPABLE OF USING LANGUAGE ACCURATELY, AND YOU NOR ANY OTHER NUT JOB SHOULD GUESS OR TAKE AN IMPLICATION FROM THE EXACT WORDS THAT I SAY AND THEIR EXACT MEANING.

    My colleges perfectly honored the standard model.

    I object to your use of "f**ck" in this reading of your post as much as I ever have.

    You have a VERY LONG WAY to go before you can hope to seriously discuss science with people who are more interested in exchanging science opinions than exchanging profane and unjustified insults.

    So the subject at this time is Quantum Physics.

    And at this time you have decided to switch subjects to Relativity.

    You may not have any clue that Quantum Physics and Relativity are diametrically opposed. Or perhaps you do know.

    If you are really ignorant about physics overall, it does not matter.

    If you somehow DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, WHY HAVE YOU SWITCHED THE SUBJECT OF YOUR INTENDED FIGHT WITH ME FROM RELATIVITY TO ITS DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE, QUANTUM PHYSICS?

    CANGAS,

    As for who is "really ignorant about physics overall", the proof is in your statements. For example, searching whether serious literature uses the term "quantum gap" (e.g., arXiv.org http://search.arxiv.org:8081/?query=%22quantum+gap%22&in=physics and google scholar http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22quantum+gap%22&btnG=Search) might save the embarassment of statements like
    Reading up on topics like synchrotron radiation, standard model, quantum field theories might save the embarassment of statements like
    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchrotron_radiation,
    "Synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation, similar to cyclotron radiation, but generated by the acceleration of ultrarelativistic (i.e., moving near the speed of light) electrons through magnetic fields. "​
    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model,
    "The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory which describes the strong, weak, and electromagnetic fundamental forces, as well as the fundamental particles that make up all matter. Developed between 1970 and 1973, it is a quantum field theory, and consistent with both quantum mechanics and special relativity."​
    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory,
    "Quantum field theory (QFT) is the quantum theory of fields. It provides a theoretical framework, widely used in particle physics and condensed matter physics, in which to formulate consistent quantum theories of many-particle systems, especially in situations where particles may be created and destroyed. Non-relativistic quantum field theories are needed in condensed matter physics— for example in the BCS theory of superconductivity. Relativistic quantum field theories are indispensable in particle physics (see the standard model)".​

    DH has not read or understood my post concerning the total dichotomy between the classical Relativity definition of the position of every particle in the 3 space Minkowski universe compared to the Heisenberg uncertainty lack of even theoretical definition of the position of every particle in the observable universe.

    Don't start throwing jargon now. If you want to actually get your point across to anyone, you should stop questioning their spelling mistakes, stop claiming that you're a genius, and actually post some PROOF that relativity is false.

    Relativity is a well-established and well entrenched theory. This actually doesn't mean much, as there were theories that were FAR more entrenched that were blown out of the water. However, every prediction it has made has been confirmed and every single anti-relativist I've debated with has always used flawed logic. Let's see if you're any different...
