Nanuq Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I found this the other day. This equation represents mathematically what we call the standard model of particle physics. The top line describes the forces: electricity, magnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The second line describes how these forces act on the fundamental particles of matter, namely the quarks and leptons. The third line describes how these particles obtain their masses from the Higgs boson, and the fourth line enables the Higgs boson to do the job. The Einstein field equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describe the fundamental interaction of gravitation as a result of spacetime being curved by matter and energy. Maxwell's equations are a set of partial differential equations that form the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics, and electric circuits. General form of Schrodinger's equation, the basis of quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger equation describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes with time.

fraggle42 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I like them, but I'd always be going "Uuuum, I have no idea what the hell they mean!" (Ok, I know it in principal, but I'll never understand the mathematical side of it all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I wonder if all watches are in constant flux and its only when someone observes them and collapses the probability wave that it either becomes a rep or a gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaaaaaah!! One of the cleverest things I've read here in years. I suppose if that's the measure of a watch's binary existence (instead of running vs dead) then yeah! Hmmmm. Schrödinger's watch?
