The classic wave equation derived from Maxwell equations is relativistic invariant, but the quantum mechanic Schrödinger eqation is not.

Einstein’s Relativity is garbage science. It's physics is based off of Acceleration. Anybody that references it as real science is still playing with toys in a sandbox pretending that they are real.

Can you explain what exactly means by "particle has slower all oscillating things"? Exact experimental observations, pls. While concept of asymptotic E(p) curve fits well with my understanding of reality, I cant get rid of feeling that mass increase and time slow might be some correct mathematical backside of wrongly interpreted phenomena.

Thanks for the kind comment! :) Grant is definitely a role model, his videos are amazing.

This comment is very accurate

He even kind of sounds like him, just with a deeper voice.

Great comment, but I'd say Grants content, while thorough, is a little more accessible to a general audience that remembers some stuff. While these videos are a little more technical without having to draw out the analogies to death, just a solid technical overview, which I prefer.

Great idea, thanks. I’ve updated the video description with a reference to Introduction to Elementary Particles, by David Griffiths. That book is a wonderful summary of the standard model, and is where I’m getting most of the ideas for this quantum physics playlist.

We’ll get a glimpse of that while looking at it the differences between Klein-Gordon and Dirac. I’ll also do a vid on the Proca equation, not sure whether it’ll be before or after hydrogen part 3. But then we’ll have seen relativistic scalar, spinor, and vector fields. At that point it’ll be natural to get into Wigner’s classification, and we can start building toward the idea that all the particles are irreducible representations of the Poincaré group - that’s where the answer to your question is ultimately found.

Zero point stubborn German.

That number equals 1 in the limit as German stubbornness approaches infinity.

Thanks! :) The next few videos are actually kind of a detour from hydrogen, laying out the basics of relativistic quantum mechanics, so when returning to hydrogen in part 3, we can treat the electron relativistically.

The SI prefixes for kilo, hecto, and deca are k, h, and da, in lowercase. So it is keV, km, kPa etc.

For real-valued functions, I totally agree. But for complex-valued functions, the first time derivative allows for wave solutions because of the phase degree of freedom in the complex plane. I should have clarified that in the video, because you’re right that typically “wave equation” connotes 2nd order in time.

Mixing relativity and quantum mechanics, hey what’s the worst that could happen? 😅

Thanks! :)

Honestly I’m not sure about a book that focuses on graphical intuition. Unfortunately most of the physics books I know of are pretty dense with equations. But one book that stands out is Introduction to Elementary Particles, by Griffiths. He writes with such wonderful prose that the ideas become much more accessible, and there’s a good number of insightful figures in there too. It’s one of my favorite books of all time. If you’re already familiar with Maxwell’s equations and elementary optics, you’ll have a good mathematical foundation for learning the topics presented in that book.

Oh man I should have submitted it! Totally forgot 😅

I’m showing a Euclidean triangle here :) You’re right about the magnitude of the four-momentum. The next video is starting off from that point of view. But it’s tricky with the Minkowski metric, because the magnitude of the four-vector is smaller than what the hypotenuse of a triangle would graphically suggest.

Yes, it’s very similar to the equation that governs the time evolution of a temperature distribution in a uniformly-conductive medium. That’s also the equation that runs through scale space, in image processing. These are all examples where the rate of change is proportional to the Laplacian.

Thanks! :)

Well if it makes you feel better, this subject took many years for the geniuses of the world to figure out! Btw funnily enough, Schrodinger came up with a relativistic wave equation (that we now know as the Klein-Gordon equation), before Klein and Gordon. But Schrodinger, genius that he was, realized that the Klein-Gordon equation didn’t give the correct fine structure for the hydrogen energy eigenstates, so he fell back on his nonrelativistic equation since at least it was a very good approximation. Then Klein and Gordon published on the relativistic Schrodinger equation (which is what it’s sometimes called), so they got the credit. Problem is, KG predicted negative probability currents in some circumstances, and also requires a time derivative term as boundary conditions (these things are related). This went against the spirit of quantum mechanics at the time, which prompted Dirac to break geometry and take the square root of the energy-momentum-mass equation, thereby giving us a mathematical basis for interpreting spin and antimatter. We’ll go through that process in the upcoming videos.

@@RichBehiel It's been my observation that the difference between a good problem solver and a great problem solver is that a great problem solver cheats by changing the problem into one that can be solved.

Yes, the principle of least action applies universally. Quantum physics can be formulated concisely by defining the Lagrangian density of a field, then applying the principle of least action to derive field equations as the conditions that minimize the action when integrating the Lagrangian density over spacetime. That’s another way of deriving the Schrodinger equation (although the Lagrangian approach is often used more in QFT, for the Klein-Gordon, Dirac, or Proca equations). That’s all coherent with the kind of quantum physics where we start with the Schrodinger equation and calculate wavefunctions. But it’s much easier to calculate wavefunctions than to work with path integrals, for example. So, often the principle of least action is invoked only implicitly, as something that gives rise to the conceptual machinery that we take for granted.

@@RichBehiel Thank you, I'm really happy to hear this!! It helps give me a much better sense of the actual actions at play :)

Feynman did all of that in 1948/49, but it doesn't get you very far. The problems that you are looking at here are physical, not mathematical. There is no self-consistent quantum theory of the electromagnetic field. There was none in the classical case, either, we are just not talking about the problems very much when we are teaching classical electromagnetism.

You’re right, the Schrödinger equation is kind of an ambiguous mix of both. I should have clarified that in the video. If psi were real, then it would be a heat equation for sure. Because the rate of change of the field would equal the laplacian, so the thing would diffuse out and settle down over time. But the complex phase and the i in the derivative, the SE has wave solutions because of the way the laplacian of the real part affects the imaginary part, etc., and that can go on waving forever. That’s actually why the SE must have a complex-valued psi.

As soon as I can! :) I work on these vids in the evenings and weekends, but lately my schedule has been busier than usual so the next couple videos might take a little while.

Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks! :)

Great question! If psi were real-valued, then yes, because the rate of change would be proportional to the laplacian, so the wavefunction would flatten out and then stop moving. But since psi is complex, the phase provides a degree of freedom, which accommodates wavy solutions. You bring up a good point here. That’s actually why the Schrödinger equation has to be complex-valued. I should have clarified that in the video tbh.

Good point! It would certainly be wrong to say that light is the same as an ocean wave. Whether the term “wave” is broad enough to encompass all wavy things, is a matter of semantics. The great thing about math is that the equations specify the behavior of the waves, so there’s no semantic ambiguity when doing calculations.

There is no such thing as collapse.

I see where you’re coming from, and it’s an interesting thought experiment! The only thing is, the energy of the electron increases and increases the more it’s pushed. In the example of pushing a car at running speed, there will come a point when the speed stops increasing, but so too will the kinetic energy stop increasing. So if the problem is just that light is not fast enough to push something faster than the speed of light, then we would expect there to be not only a speed limit, but also a kinetic energy limit, of about 255.5 keV in the case of an electron. The fact that electrons have been accelerated to half a million times that energy limit, is an indication that the electrons do indeed continue to be pushed with a tremendous amount of force.

Yeah, I’m working on them now :) Sorry if it takes a while to post, life is quite busy these days but I try to find time when I can.

Thanks! :)

If the wavefunction were real-valued then yes, you’d need a second-order derivative in time, since a first-order time derivative being proportional to the Laplacian would just settle and diffuse (heat equation). But when psi is complex-valued, a first-order time derivative being proportional to the Laplacian does indeed allow for plane wave solutions, due to the complex number’s ability to rotate in the complex plane.

Thanks! :)

Great question! I’ve never thought about that. Hmm. Well, gamma and momentum are interrelated, so if we put in a factor of gamma, it would implicitly be a function of momentum, so then momentum would be nonlinear. At that point we might as well go with Klein-Gordon (which btw is sometimes called the relativistic Schrodinger equation, because Schrodinger came up with it first, but was unsatisfied with it because it didn’t account for the fine structure of the hydrogen eigenstates). Dirac fixed that problem by linearizing the energy and momentum terms, which brought spin and antimatter into the equation. Anyway, another interesting feature of relativistic waves is that their phase oscillates, rapidly, even when the particle’s momentum is zero. The mc^2 rest energy term is twice the Newtonian momentum of a particle traveling at the speed of light, for a sense of perspective. So relativistic waves are oscillating super fast, while the Schrodinger equation for a particle at rest is just a constant, inert, lifeless complex number. So even far from the speed of light, there are qualitative differences between the two models.

@@RichBehiel Magic! Thanks again 😃

At first glance yes, although this paradox can be accounted for when one looks only at the phase gradients, rather than the absolute phase. The phase gradients track coherently with each observer’s p value (in the nonrelativistic limit).

Wow, when you put it like that, that’s wild! 🤯
