### Does strong interaction care about mass? (+ Isospin question)

So in the journey of trying to understand more about the strong interaction I have encountered some passages linking mass with strong interaction. Like from Greiner and Müller Quantum Mechanics - ...

### Operator on Function of Momentum (QM)

I have exactly 0 clue on how to start this problem, but I would be forever grateful for a hint in the right direction. Given the operators $\hat x=x$ and $\hat p=-i\hbar \frac{d}{dx}$, prove the ...

### Lack of symmetry of the canonical stress-energy tensor

Why in the general case of classical field theory canonical stress-energy tensor doesn't have symmetry of the permutation of the indices? For explanation, let's have a "derivation" of an expression ...

### How does an optic-mechanical laser read and send binary bytes to a CPU?

Thid greatly concerns physics, since a more refined version of my title will be rehearsed below: How is the physical structure of the mechanical eye use a laser to read binary bits held on an optical ...

### Is pressure invariant under Lorentz transformations?

In an article from the reference there are following words (page 2): "...pressure P is a Lorentz invariant... the result follows from standart properties of the relativistic stress-energy tensor...". ...

### Is Newton's universal gravitational constant the inverse of permittivity of mass in vacuum?

Is it possible to consider Newton's universal gravitational constant, $G$, as inverse of vacuum permittivity of mass? $$\epsilon_m=\frac {1}{4\pi G}$$ if so, then vacuum permeability of mass will ...

### Source of potential energy in a capacitor being pulled apart

When the plate spacing is large the capacitor system is storing more energy than when it is small. If one manually changes the spacing, where does the additional energy "come from" as the plate ...

### Can we see light as it 'interferes' with itself and produces the characteristic double-slit pattern?

This TED talk suggests that we can now watch as a beam of light propagates through a bottle filled with water. My question is: can we use this new technology to perhaps 'see' the photon as it makes ...
