comment About gravity through space time curvature
Last time I looked "energy of the gravitational field" was ill-defined. It probably still is.

comment Does an Ising lattice that returns to equilibrium create a current by induction?
What I'm looking for is the Ising model coupled to the current, so that one can calculate the induction from the lattice parameters. Alternatively, has somebody just plainly measured it? I mean, is there some reference on this? See, it isn't really clear to me how local currents do or don't add up to a global one.

comment Is there a symmetry associated to the conservation of information?
No, it doesn't. An equation of motion for a system a priori doesn't even have to be reversible, in which case it certainly doesn't preserve anything that deserves to be called information.

comment Is there any anti-gravity material?
This is wrong for three reasons. First, you need energy to move the object because it still has inertial mass. Second, the sheet will move. Third, the sheet (planar) will not homogenously shield the gravitational field of the earth (sphere).

comment Does entropy really always increase (or stay the same)?
Yes, one could put it this way. It sounds somewhat tautological of course, but the point is that you first have to define what you mean with a microstate and a macrostate and with order, etc. I mean, exactly what you do in stat mech.

comment Does an Ising lattice that returns to equilibrium create a current by induction?
I was thinking of an atomic lattice. What does the electric fields to electrons in the conducting band if not create a current? But you're right in that my question confuses both. In any case, do you have any sort of reference for whether or not magnetic induction is or isn't present?

comment covarient derivative of electromagnetic field tensor
Guessing: Use the equations of motion, they're more or less equivalent to energy-conservation. Also, use the symmetry of F and of Gamma to twiddle indices. That should do the trick.

comment Why is the colour of sunlight yellow?
Sorry, but this answer doesn't make sense. As FrankH said above, sunlight is not white. The light of no star is white. They all have an almost black-body spectrum that peaks at some frequency. As I said in my reply too. Which was downrated by somebody, lmfao. Eh, guys, this is really low standard. You seriously asking "do you have citations claiming sunlight is yellow without scattering". Man, the sun's spectrum has been measured up and down since 500 years, why don't you try Wikipedia for starters??
