    This course is beyond my current knowledge, but something was said during the very helpful intro. Hong talked about the importance of doing all problem sets to gain intuition of the subject, and that intuition will help learn and understand as the course progresses. In my current classes, I've been trying to read, take notes, and look at other sources for explanations on topics. But what he said made me realize that I am not doing the most important actions that will help me learn and master the subjects and courses I'm taking. So I thank him for that

    1:05:06 What does the \partial ^ \mu mean?

    • @EdwinSteiner
      @EdwinSteiner 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      \partial^\mu (superscript \mu) is standard notation for the contraction of the spacetime derivatives \partial_
      u with the inverse g^{\mu
      u} of the spacetime metric. In more words: \partial_
      u (subscript
      u) are just the derivatives with respect to the (usually 4) spacetime coordinates, i.e. \frac{\partial}{\partial x^
      u}. Concretely, \partial_0 is the time derivative, \partial_1, _2, _3 are the spatial derivatives. To get the upper index, you need to contract with the inverse of the metric: \partial^\mu = g^{\mu
      u} \partial_
      u. As QFT is usually done in the context of special relativity in flat spacetime, the metric (and its inverse) are just diagonal matrices with either (−1, +1, +1, +1) or (+1, −1, −1, −1) on the diagonal, depending on the conventions you use. So in the end \partial^\mu is just +/− \partial_\mu, where it depends on the conventions whether the time-derivative or the spatial-derivatives get the minus sign.

      @EdwinSteiner 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Because the numerical values of dimensionful constants like c and h-bar depend on the units of measurement you choose. Since units of measurement are arbitrary conventions, anyway, you simply pick your units of measurement such that c = 1 (and usually also h-bar = 1) in those units. This way you get much simpler formulae.

    Locality implies continuity as subjectively experienced on the surface of the earth at 12 noon in the Astrodome on a Spring morning.
    General Relativity is a local theory of surfaces (a black hole is a perfect, non-radiating sphere, where all radii of curvature meet at from opposite points at the center. But vectors do not have a common origin by Fermat's Last Principle for n=2
    c = a + b
    c^n = (a+b)^n = a^n + b^n+ f(a,b,n)
    c^n = a^n + b^n iff f(a,b,n) = 0
    f(a,b,n) 0
    c^n a^n + b^n QED
    (This was actually proved by a math "C" student within two weeks after Fermat's expression was published, but then the men in white coats took him away,m never to be heard from again)
    Note that for n=2, Pythagorean theorem is wrong (and thus, vectors, which are affine - have no common origin - i.e., are in principle not local) Each vector has its own coordinate system ( which is why the trace of the relativistic field tensor is zero, meaning nothing exists, as in the Pauli matrices - the foundation of SU(2). Note that SU(2) is a group that only has one operator - mutiplication, but that two elements must exist (by addition) in order for multiplication to take place at all (Russell's Paradox means 1^2 1).
    There is much, much more to this story, but I don't have the space-time to write it here. I've been kicked off most of the classical websites, but I am on physics.org with links to pdf's.

    If all you're introducing is the derivative, then nothing exists. (An element can't change if there is no element)
    The traces of the relativistic Field Tensor and the Pauli matrices are all zero, which means nothing exists locally.
    There are no negative numbers: -c = a-b, b>a iff a = b-c, a+0 = a, a-a = 0
    If there are no negative numbers, there are no imaginary numbers.
