What is the optical power level of common fiber optics lasers? To my limited knowledge, NL effects are a concern and manifest as pulse distortion (due to many competing effects). They are more pronounced when the pulse width is short (100ns perhaps?). This effectively puts a limit on useful bandwidth. I vaguely remember analysis using an eye-diagram to quantify the effect of distortion. |

Couldn't we measure electrons with good enough technology? In my understanding, a measurement necessarily involves an interaction, and thinking simplistically, electrons interact with other electrons by exchanging photons. In theory you could have a device 'tuned" to some other interaction, then perhaps you don't have to detect photons. By measure I presume you wish to measure position? The question is not very clear. |

Eliminating IR light reflection perceived by a steep viewing angle The easiest way to accomplish your goal is as you said, add an IR filter to your camera. I would pick an "'interference" filter (eoc-inc.com/infrared_filters.htm). |

Connection between quantum physics and consciousness As far as I can tell, there is no logical definition of consciousness that compatible with physics. |

Units and use of the formula of the angular acceleration? $\omega$ is angular velocity and has units of radians per second. $\frac{d\omega}{dt}$ is a small (infinitesimal) change in angular velocity with time. There seems to be something wrong with your formula as $\alpha=\frac{d\omega}{dt}$. Not sure where the extra $r$ came from? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_acceleration |

Why can't a spaceship accelerate for ever? Since there is no friction in space There could be magnetically induced drag that can occur when a conductor moves in an external magnetic field. |

Why do we classify states under covering groups instead of the group itself? A group is an abstract mathematical object. Measurements/Experiments are in the real field. So, if you want to draw meaningful conclusions that you can verify experimentally, you have to work with operator representations (in $\mathbb{R}$) that are appropriate. Ultimately, if you cannot prove something (or its consequences) that can be experimentally verified, it is worthless. While this does not directly answer your question, I think it is a useful reminder on why we work with representations instead of abstract objects. Hence the comment. |
