What is a photon, really - Philsci-Archive
... It is important here to note that the process of diagonalization and quantization are exactly the same for phonons and photons. Photons are not ontologically superior to phonons. I have heard some philosophers speak of phonons as “epi-phenomena”, as though they were not as fundamental or “real” in p ...

Prospects For LHC Physics
... A couple of problems are difficult to solve (status was described by F. Sannino): i) generating quark and lepton masses, while limiting FCNC’s. This is hard because we can’t just write Yukawa couplings , etc., as there isn’t any H. ii) S and T parameters of weak interactions tend to be wrong. Anoth ...

Schrödinger Theory of Electrons in Electromagnetic Fields: New
... The insights are arrived at by describing Schrödinger theory from the perspective [2,3] of the individual electron. This perspective is arrived at via the “Quantal Newtonian” second law [4–7] (or the time-dependent differential virial theorem) for each electron, with the first law [8–10] being a des ...

... Conservation laws in physics are related to the symmetry of physical laws under various transformations. For instance, we expect the laws of physics to be unchanging in time. This is an invariance under “translation” in time, and it leads to the conservation of energy. Physical laws also should not ...
