Perhaps I'm too late, but I wanted to say something on the off chance you're still interested. The way I think about the question you raised is by...
Hi CptBork, Of course I agree with you. If you keep the same algebraic structure then you are using complex numbers even if you don't say it...
Hi neelakash, You asked a lot of questions, so maybe we can just start small and work our way up. One very basic question is do we need complex...
The dual field theory may not even be a gauge theory. I think all we really know about it is that it should possess at least an E_8 \times E_8...
Nope, I have no hidden technical assumptions. In my opinion heterotic branes are just more complicated than simple IIA/B D-branes, that's all. I...
From the field theory side, I have a hard time imagining what sort of field theory would fit the bill. Especially when doing semi-classical or...
Sure, I didn't say heterotic didn't have branes, I said it didn't have simple branes. Haha, I do stand by the adjective simple. Especially if one...
The most naive answer has got to be that there are no simple heterotic branes. Stacking branes is the traditional route to AdS/CFT, but heterotic...
Physical Review B is one of the primary journals for condensed matter physics. The particular section you refer to is about the physics of disorder...
Just a few quick comments. Of course I agree that common belief does not equal fact. I don't think I ever suggested that. What I did say is that...
Frankly, I wasn't trying to be particularly scientific in the background section. But since you brought it up, I don't think I did too poorly....
In the spirit of trying to address the physics, let me make a few comments on the physics beginning with some background material. Background and...
I just want to comment that a great deal of wonderful experimental progress is being made on this front. For example, people have observed...
Personally, I wouldn't spend too much worrying about precisely what "classical physics" can and can't do. Still, it's interesting to think about...
I personally feel that the digital/analog comparison doesn't represent a very useful analogy. In the case of the switch to digital, I would argue...
I think the answer to your questions depends on your point of view. Quantum computing, as an intellectual idea, has already proven enormously...
kingwinner, just calculate the component of the force in the horizontal direction. The fact that x << L is what enables you to neglect the change...
Andrew, I want to start by saying that I appreciate very much your enthusiasm for physics. However, the ideas you've presented here are simply...
Billy T, your point is very relevant because it illustrates an important property of mixed states. The notion of a mixed state can depend on the...
temur, note that the change in the length of the rubber band is second order in x and hence cannot be responsible for the linear restoring force....
Separate names with a comma.
