I love to program and crosscompile baremetal C programs for ARM based microcontrollers, I love physics and i love writing science documents/books in LaTeX. It amazes me how physics is connecting all science and is helping mathematics to evolve. In order for science profession to comunicate on a high level i advise everyone to use Linux, LaTeX and a good vector imaging program like Inkscape.

I recommend avoiding relativistic mass as long as possible.

comment Probability and probability amplitude
So when person starts to learn QM he should actually start over like Newton did. Newton (1) saw apple falling from a tree (2) draw some graphs (3) guessed 2. Newton's law In QM scientists (1) saw electron behaving like a wave and so they (2) draw a probability graph which shows interference pattern and in the end from graph (3) we concluded or guessed that: $P \propto |A|^2$ Like Newton we also have all the rights to do this right?

This postulate seems like a "dogma" to me.

comment Probability and probability amplitude
@dmckee I am learning QM and the problem is that it is hard for me to just believe in this equation. It has no background and is completely made up not derived. Some even write it down like $P \propto |A|^2$ insead of $P = |A|^2$. I mean compared to Einsteins relativity where everything was derived this is ugly to me (personal opinion). Are there at least any similar cases where we take a square of something to get probability? If we re going to guess theories like this they are sooner or later going to fail (my oppinion).

comment Gravitational redshift derivation
Thank you. It helped a lot. I haven't yet learned GR, so i think this will be my next book on Amazon. It is sad our professor used above derivation (which is wrong but accidentaly gives the right anwser) but never warned us about this. I really don't know why did i deserve negative points...

comment Kinetic energy of a photon and Schwarzschild radius
Our professor derived it like this. Furthermore he didnt even warn us the derivation is WRONG! But i am amazed! What a coincidence indeed :)

comment Photons in a gravitational field
Relativistic mass should always be written $m_{rel}$ otherwise there is too much confusion going on.

comment Photons in a gravitational field
$E$ in the term $E = mc^2$ is a "rest energy" $E_0$ which is an energy which only particles with mass have. Good example is pair production. Photon has no mass and therefore has no rest energy right which is correct i think.

When you say: "but they definitely have a mass from $E=mc^2$" you should know that $m$ is the rest mass here and as you stated yourself the rest mass is zero so $m=0$.

On this page i read that even Einstein warned against the concept of mass increasing with velocity. Unfortunately this warning was ignored. physicsandphysicists.blogspot.com/2009/04/…

A derivation of gravitational redshift in which i canno't prove that mass of a photon is 0.
