DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2401.14450. https://lnkd.in/dGFjUvqk ABSTRACT.-- Evidence for a stochastic #gravitational #wave (GW) background, plausibly originating from the merger of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), is accumulating with observations from pulsar timing arrays. An outstanding question is how inspiraling SMBHs get past the “final parsec” of separation, where they have a tendency to stall before GW emission alone can make the binary coalesce. ..................

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄! Precisely One year after its launch (see details here: https://lnkd.in/eNB8J6jp) the new Interplanetary Patent Office (IPO) reports their first results. And they unbelievable: - 2788 planet members - 5,2 billions patent applications - 125 millions grants After presenting these amazing numbers IPO's General Secretary April J. FOOLER seized the opportunity to make a major announcement ;the official candidacy of the planet "LOOF" to become a new member of IPO.  If this were to happen, IPO's would jump from interplanetary level to cross dimensional level, which would multiply the number of applications by the thousands! Hereunder the first video of Sir GRZZERKZR, President of the Loofian Patent Office, expressing himself in the visual Fractal language that is used on their planet and dimension. 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦: 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦. 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 😊. We will of course keep a close eye on the evolution in that area and come back to you on this in a year to the day. May the force be with us all.

Interview with Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (1902–1984), Nobel Prize in Physics 1933, "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory". In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1⁄2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry. It is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity,[1] and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics. It was validated by accounting for the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum in a completely rigorous way. The equation also implied the existence of a new form of matter, antimatter, previously unsuspected and unobserved and which was experimentally confirmed several years later. It also provided a theoretical justification for the introduction of several component wave functions in Pauli's phenomenological theory of spin. The wave functions in the Dirac theory are vectors of four complex numbers (known as bispinors), two of which resemble the Pauli wavefunction in the non-relativistic limit, in contrast to the Schrödinger equation which described wave functions of only one complex value. Moreover, in the limit of zero mass, the Dirac equation reduces to the Weyl equation. Although Dirac did not at first fully appreciate the importance of his results, the entailed explanation of spin as a consequence of the union of quantum mechanics and relativity—and the eventual discovery of the positron—represents one of the great triumphs of theoretical physics. This accomplishment has been described as fully on a par with the works of Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein before him.[2] It has been deemed by some physicists to be the "real seed of modern physics".[3] In the context of quantum field theory, the Dirac equation is reinterpreted to describe quantum fields corresponding to spin-1⁄2 particles.  https://lnkd.in/dE-intfB Dirac equation ( i ℏ γ μ ∂ μ − m c ) ψ ( x ) = 0 https://lnkd.in/dBFd6syy
