comment What values should the solved time-independent Schrodinger equation return?
Well, think about what the possible values of $\psi^* \psi$ are? (This answer to this depends on exactly what you are thinking $\psi$ represents). What about the units of $\psi$; does the potential you are using tell you anything about the units of $\psi$?

comment Coherent $U(N)$ intertwiners in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and a measure on the Grassmannian
Great comment, I appreciate the details! Can I think of the division by the $U(2)$ volume as the Jacobian? As in normally one would have $du\to J(u)du$ for Jacobian $J(u)$ but that overcounts in this case because $u$ should be invariant under $U(2)$?

The measure $\Omega$ has a delta function in it which sets $\sum |z_i\rangle \langle z_i|=0$ when the integral is performed. Why? It just seems to be adding something unnecessary.

comment Many photons, one quantum field?
The commutation relations look something like $[a(x),a^\dagger(y)]=\delta (x-y)$ right? We don't need another label $a_i$ to denote which part of spacetime (say use a partition of unity or something) "each field" is. My impression is "one quantum field" is the more usual interpretation.

comment Many photons, one quantum field?
I think if someone is asking a question about photons in quantum field theory, we can implicitly assume they are referring to the standard model of particle physics. Within the standard model, there is only one photon field.

comment Physics of a cold and hot top
4 degrees what? And I guess I agree with your statement about "gravitational forces bind to energy density", but under the principle of equivalence, I think the '$m$' in $I=\sum mr^2$ is the same as the '$m$' in $mg$.
