I am not a native English speaker, and I have just started to study physics in English. However, I came across the term heralded photon while I was reading a review article about optical quantum memory. I don't understand what it means. A dictionary explains herald as, "to be a sign that something is going to happen," ... | 1 |
In the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, Huddleston and Pullum use the term "determinative" for the lexical category of words like the, etc. And they use "determiner" for the grammatical function that is characteristically filled by determinatives (but which can also be filled by things such as genitive noun p... | 1 |
I've been trying to determine an explanation for the falsity of a logical statement for some time now and I've had no luck in figuring out exactly how to go about it. The two part question goes as follows: Consider the arguments below. If the argument is valid, identify the rule of inference that establishes its validi... | 1 |
I seem to remember hearing a medical term for the act of causing pain to one part of your body to relieve a chronic pain elsewhere in the body. For instance, someone who suffers from chronic back pain might break their finger so that they can stop focusing on their back pain. Or someone with a broken arm might intentio... | 1 |
I am trying to prove if f is continuous and closed ("closed" means the image of any closed subset of the domain is closed) then f(closure of X) equals the closure of f(X). I was able to prove that if f is continuous then f(closure of X) is a subset of closure of f(X). Now, I am trying to prove the other way around: clo... | 1 |
I have a question regarding the usage of the words to and with in the sentence "He lodged a complaint to/with the Authorities". Which is correct? Note: Lodge in this context is "to present (a complaint, appeal, claim, etc.) formally to the proper authorities". I have been told that, in the said sentence, with is correc... | 1 |
I am trying to prove the following statement regarding nowhere dense sets: "In a metric space X, the frontier of an open set is the set of accumulation points of a discrete set." As far as my attempts go, I have gone back and looked at an earlier proof of Baire's Category Theorem and worked out the details (as to my un... | 1 |
My question concerns the usage of "as if" as an idiomatic interjection. The references I have consulted (etymonline, online dictionaries, etc.) seem to agree that "as if" is used in this context to convey incredulity or doubt. This is how I have always thought of it. The other day, I was with friends who used "as if" t... | 1 |
A year ago, I took a statistics course at my university. The course was based on Rice's "Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis". Apart from the fact that I did not find the book terribly good, I found that the lectures did not aid me a lot in understanding the material either. I did pass the course, but I didn't fe... | 1 |
I am fairly certain that there's an idiomatic phrase for this, referring to either the situation or the person. It's on the tip of my tongue. Scenario: Alice tells Bob to stop making a such a noise with his power tools. Bob replies that he had already stopped an hour ago and was anyway done for the day. How would you d... | 1 |

Consider the following scenario: I get in a spaceship, and travel really close to the speed of light for a while, and then come back. A lot of time has passed on the Earth, but since I was traveling so fast, I only experienced a few years passing. So, my friends on Earth are dead, whereas I'm only a few years older. Bu... | 1 |
I often find myself putting excess commas and brackets (parentheses for all you US English speakers out there) into sentences, in hopes of rendering it more 'readable'. The trouble is, I am never sure just how much is too much and often need to seek the services of an adjudicator. However, this time no one could decide... | 1 |
I need someone to help me to define the meaning of the word "en masse" in the following context: the initial aim of internment during the later conflict was to identify and intern those who posed a particular threat to the safety or defence of the country. As the war progressed, however, this policy changed and Japanes... | 1 |
I came across the following thought experiment, and I would like to understand whether the controversy around it is justified. Imagine an experiment in which a mathematician is put to sleep with some kind of drug. He is located in a room that is designed in such a way as to keep him completely isolated from any kind of... | 1 |
I'm looking for good book recommendations for preparing for the International Physics Olympiad. As stated on the IPhO syllabus, the topics covered are about the same as those in the first year or two of a physics degree: Mechanics: kinematics, dynamics, celestial mechanics, hydrodynamics Electromagnetism: Maxwell's equ... | 1 |
I'm having trouble understanding the simple "planetary" model of the atom that I'm being taught in my basic chemistry course. In particular, I can't see how a negatively charged electron can stay in "orbit" around a positively charged nucleus. Even if the electron actually orbits the nucleus, wouldn't that orbit eventu... | 1 |
I am interested in self-studying real analysis, and I was wondering which textbook I should pick up. I know all high school mathematics, I have read How to Prove It by Daniel J. Velleman (I did most of the exercises). I have completed a computational calculus course which covered everything up to and including integrat... | 1 |
The answers to this related question suggest that to and in order to are pretty much interchangeable, the former being preferred in informal contexts. My question is about negative clauses. According to the answers to the linked questions, the following two sentences are fine and mean the same thing: We were speaking l... | 1 |
I have taken a course in abstract algebra, which used Fraleigh's book. This semester I'm taking a course called Rings and Modules, which uses Bhattacharya's book, which is fine for the most part, but sometimes I can't understand the material. Today after the lecture I spoke to my professor, and he told me he thought so... | 1 |
I am wondering whether to use a restrictive relative clause such as: "Multicopters belong to a family of aircraft called rotorcraft , which also includes helicopters, and although they appear to be similar, a multicopter's design is mechanically much simpler." or non-restrictive relative clause: "Multicopters belong to... | 1 |
There is a related question on this site here: Why glass is transparent? Which explains that glass is transparent because the atoms in glass have very large energy differences between energy levels and photons of visible light do not have enough energy to excite electrons from one energy level to another. Whereas, elec... | 1 |
I often hear the following, particularly during announcements when travelling by rail or air: On behalf of myself and the rest of the team, I would like to wish you a pleasant journey. I've always wondered whether this is grammatical. I found this question, which discusses how to form such a sentence, but it still seem... | 1 |
Once again, y'all can blame my boss. Well, him or Captain Picard. He (my boss, not Picard) has the annoying habit of saying "Make it sure that", instead of "Make sure that". No matter how many times I correct him (usually via a post-it note thrust in his face while he's on the phone), he keeps making this mistake. Toda... | 1 |
everyone. When referring to a person, are there any firm guidelines when it comes to the use of "a" or "the" after the comma that follows their name? To clarify: Recently, I was writing an article about Amy Winehouse, and I referred to her like this: "Amy Winehouse, the troubled singer-songwriter who..." A few weeks la... | 1 |
In order for a body to move with uniform velocity in a circular path, there must exist some force towards the centre of curvature of the circular path. This is centripetal force. By Newton's Third Law, there must exist a reactive force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This is the reactive centrifug... | 1 |
This question refers to the paper Nonstandard symmetry classes in mesoscopic normal-superconducting hybrid structures by Altland and Zirnbauer. In the paper the authors give a classification of Bogoliubov de Gennes Hamiltonians. More precisely the authors state that The aim of the current section is to classify systems... | 1 |
The number of points on a line is uncountably infinite. The number of lines on a plane is uncountably infinite. It seems like it follows that there would be an uncountably infinite number of points on a plane, too. But it seems unsatisfying to believe that these are both the same thing. Surely adding an entirely new di... | 1 |
I'm looking for a good introductory text to analysis, or, more specifically, a text that puts calculus on a much more rigorous ground. I've just finished a year of calculus at my local university, and I feel a bit cheated by the course I took. In addition to having a poor teacher who focused on rote memorization, our t... | 1 |
Suppose we have a circular table. We have made a straight line groove in the table extending from the center to the circumference. Now we place a block at some distance from the center in the groove and start rotating the table. Suppose there is no friction between the walls of groove and the block. Result: The block f... | 1 |
I have just recently started learning some very basic thermodynamics and there is one question that has been driving me crazy: Why do we even need the Zeroth law of thermodynamics? The law states: If a body A, be in thermal equilibrium with two other bodies, B and C, then B and C are in thermal equilibrium with one ano... | 1 |
I keep all my references in one huge BibTeX file, which happens to include the full journal name for each one. I'm currently preparing a manuscript that needs the journal names to be abbreviated.

If the time traveler was in his own timeline and kills his grandfather, that mean... | 1 |
English is not my native-tongue, so I always find it hard to grasp the concept of "question tags" and more importantly the way to answer to them. Let me explain with the help of this situation - I am supposed to complete my homework and I haven't. My mom suspects that I haven't and asks me the below question. I want to... | 1 |
The latest Stack Exchange blog post contains the following section header: In which we stop being dumb I have never really understood what is going on in these "in which..." constructions at a grammatical level. Is it just an elision of something like "this is a section in which..."? Or, perhaps, is it an imitation of ... | 1 |
I've been reading Lois Lowry's The Giver recently, and have questions regarding a sentence from her book. I know that some sentences in literature, like The Giver, do not always follow strict grammar rules and do not need to follow them, but I still can't understand the exact meaning of the sentence: They(Jonas and Gab... | 1 |
I am working on a document (using the scrbook class, if it is relevant) which will end up consisting of lots of text and a large number of tikz figures. Even when writing the very first chapter, I notice that running pdflatex, bibtex and makeindex takes a considerable amount of time. I expect this to become worse (i.e.... | 1 |
I'm very confused about how I should be using TexWorks on Ubuntu, and what the difference is between TexWorks, TexLive, and MikTex.

I'm not sure if my problem was asked before, but if so, a simple link to the answer would be appreciated. Basically I've recently seen videos about spud cannons that use compressed air and it got me thinking about the math behind it. Obviously for targeting purposes, one needs the final velocity at the end of the canno... | 1 |
I cannot understand why we cannot use "even though" instead of "even so" or vice versa. For example : I know her English isn't very good, but even so I can understand her. ( original sentence) If we can rewrite it with "even though", does it mean different thing? Even though her English isn't very good, I can understan... | 1 |
One implication of general relativity is the concept of gravitational waves or gravitational radiation, ripples in spacetime thought to travel at speeds close to the speed of light. As far as I have researched, there is no direct evidence supporting their existence, but I have read many examples of indirect evidence. M... | 1 |
Let us define an inertial frame as a frame of reference where the laws of physics take their usual form, as opposed to non intertial frames where one has to introduce pseudo-forces. We can further define an equivalence class which contains other inertial frames as the class of frames of reference moving of constant vel... | 1 |
Different authors seem to have different conventions when they define the term affine variety (similarly projective variety). For the purposes of this question let us stick with the affine case, and let us work over an algebraically closed field. For example: In Harris's Algebraic Geometry: A First Course, an affine va... | 1 |
The five postulates (axioms) are: "To draw a straight line from any point to any point." "To produce [extend] a finite straight line continuously in a straight line." "To describe a circle with any centre and distance [radius]." "That all right angles are equal to one another." "That, if a straight line falling on two ... | 1 |
I'm looking for a succinct way to describe what I believe is a semi-common situation, both in online discussions and sometimes in real life (e.g. with siblings during long car trips): when a discussion between two or more people turns sour, such that rather than discussing or debating the subject at hand, the people in... | 1 |
In logic and computer programming, a conjunction of two logical statements is said to be true if and only if both statements are themselves true. For instance: "The sky is blue" and "the grass is green" is a conjunction of two logical statements. Note that a conjunction in this context is not the same as a grammatical ... | 1 |
The Poincare group has ten generators, which have the physical interpretation of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and the system center of mass, and which are of course conserved in any Poincare invariant system. Adding five more generators (of dilitation and the four special conformal transformations) extends the P... | 1 |
I know there are a lot of reference requests for differential equations textbooks but none seem to be what I need. I'm looking for a book I can use for self study that isn't overly complicated and explains a lot (meaning it doesn't often say "left as an exercise for the reader" but instead proves all major results). I ... | 1 |
When someone says something unpleasant or rude, often the reply is "Bite your tongue!". But where did this come from? I can find a number of sources explaining that to bite one's tongue is to hold it between the teeth, preventing speech, and thus is a metaphor for not speaking; this makes sense, as I've seen "I bit my ... | 1 |
You often hear it on the news. Some embarrassing nonsense goes down, and then some honcho steps in front of the cameras looking concerned and goes, "I take full responsibility for what happened." What do they mean by that, exactly? Are they willing to be put on trial? Ready to pay a fine? Eager to resign? Do some commu... | 1 |
In this answer on Stack Overflow, the term "several" is used as an indeterminate number, the actual value of which is literally in the quintillions: Zero is one of several values that can be represented exactly. To my ear, this is an exceedingly strange use of "several", which led me to believe that the writer was conf... | 1 |
I'm relatively new to PDEs and ODEs. It seems that PDEs are generally more difficult to solve than ODEs, and so I intuitively have the feeling that one needs more information/knowledge/theorems in order to solve PDEs. I've seen many examples of going from from the ODE domain to the PDE domain, and vice versa. For examp... | 1 |

Can any noun ending in -ism describing some system or belief be changed for -ist to describe a member of that system? My question might be confusing, so I will run through a few examples: Nihilism => nihilist Feminism => feminist Racism => racist This seems to follow a pretty predictable pattern. So, when I learned a n... | 1 |
I want to study Mumford's Abelian Varieties in the coming winter break. I tried to study it before, but I didn't find my self really understanding(or memorizing) too much. I guess a better and more solid way to learn something is to go over many exercises. So I'm asking for some exercises(or problems?) on abelian varie... | 1 |
I've been reading about how the conical shape of train wheels helps trains round turns without a differential. For those who are unfamiliar with the idea, the conical shape allows the wheels to shift and slide across the tracks, thus effectively varying their radii and allowing them to cover different distances while r... | 1 |
The following binary relation of the set {a, b, c, d, e} is given: R = { (a,b), (a,c), (b,c) } What I have to do is to find the smallest reflexive / symmetric / transitive / antisymmetric relation including R. I know what these relations are all about, but what I have trouble with is how to find them. For example, I se... | 1 |

Is there any easy (scriptable) way to convert a PDF with vector images into a PDF with raster images? In other words, I want to generate a PDF with the exact same text but with each vector image replaced with a rasterized version. I occasionally read PDFs of technical articles on my Kindle, and have found that reading ... | 1 |
Looking at the nCatLab page on chain complexes, it is implicitly assumed at the start of the page that one is working in an additive category. However, the only structure required to define chain complexes is that one be working in a pointed category, so that the notion of a zero morphism makes sense. However, I have n... | 1 |
Can someone please explain extraordinary optical transmission (EOT)? I'm hoping someone can describe the physical process by which light is transmitted through a periodic metal hole array which is optically thick (i.e. thickness > skin depth), for which the holes are sub-wavelength vs the incident light. I'm trying to ... | 1 |
I can't quite figure out which of the following expressions is more correct: He is the devil's advocate. He is a devil's advocate. He is playing devil's advocate.

As explained in the answers to this post, photons apparently exert a gravitational pull on other objects. It has also been explained on this site, that gravity propagates at the speed of light. I'm wondering, though, how do you reconcile these two facts? I'm trying to imagine the gravitational field made by a photon an... | 1 |
I would like to teach a little nonlinear PDE to an undergraduate who is taking a course in second-order linear boundary value problems. I have never taught nonlinear PDE before, although it is my research specialty. I have a decent book on solitons, but my research specialty is critical point theory in elliptic PDE. Se... | 1 |
I am not a physicist but I would really like to know what trained physicists think about this problem that came up in conversation the other day.

We are going to establish a company in order to commercialize a stuttering treatment/therapy program. The treatment/therapy is really effective and backed by a lot of scientific research. In our recent discussions, some disagreement has come up whether to market it as the "XYZ stuttering treatment" or the "XYZ stutteri... | 1 |
I don't understand how a vacuum, the absence of matter, can hold energy. How can it hold energy when Einstein proved that matter is energy? And a second related question; how does the energy in a vacuum allow the Universe to produce itself? And how does that account for why the Universe is expanding? I saw Krauss' lect... | 1 |
Often in my studies (economics) the assumption of a "well-behaved" function will be invoked. I don't exactly know what that entails (I think twice continuously differentiability is one of the requirements), nor do I know why this is necessary (though I imagine the why will depend on each case). Can someone explain it t... | 1 |
I have always believed in keeping magnets and data storage devices far away from each other. Friends say I'm excessively cautious about it, but I seem to have a lot less data loss than they do! As cell phones have gained popularity, so have cell phone cases with magnetic clasps. Often these clasps are positioned near t... | 1 |
I'll start with a disclaimer -- this is not a question about astrology itself, I'm neither trying to refute nor to defend astrology. I'm interested in purely technical things, which are mostly related to astronomy. Given a time and a place (usually related to the moment of birth of a person) one can create a horoscope ... | 1 |
First question: I have been reading English: An Essential Grammar by Gerald Nelson and it gives an example of the words 'hard' and 'fast' being used as both adjectives and adverbs: Adverb: John works hard.

How would I say that a phrase or word has "lost it's meaning due to constant repetition." Take the word "awesome": "Awesome" used to denote a situation in which the speaker (or writer) was overwhelmed with "awe." "Awesome" is now used as a measure of how "interesting" something is and isn't terribly high on that rating... | 1 |
Fat lot of good is a phrase that I grew up with and continue to use occasionally as in the following: He is working hard to fix the problem, but a fat lot of good it will do him without the proper tools. Which means that despite his best efforts, he is not likely to fix the problem until he starts using the proper tool... | 1 |
I would not be able to put this into symbols, but I ask here because I think it's the correct place to ask.

The three laws are: First law: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force. Second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel[disambiguation needed ] and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, i.e., F = ma. Third law: The mutu... | 1 |
I was listening to The Infinite Monkey Cage on the BBC and they were talking about general relativity and gravity.

Often it is said that Bell's theorem (and the observed violations thereof) rules out local hidden variable theories as the explanation for the seeming non-determinism found in quantum mechanics. I'm wondering if this extends also specifically to radioactive decay processes. So I guess this is really a question of wheth... | 1 |
Sometimes people make insincere arguments to justify an action (or inaction), based upon the impact to a particular group.
