@minogully @GeorgeStyles I developed Kohn-Sham solver during a PhD, knowing perturbation theory in its many incarnations quite well.
QFT experience still not my area. But gravity as a response to mass seems a little too neat to be emergent. But you can't rely on intuition.
@mathemaphysics @minogully Thats SOOOOO cool!
@GeorgeStyles @minogully We were trying to figure out if you could use finite elements to solve the problem so as to scale better than traditional methods like gaussian approximations.
Now I quietly obsess over reproducing kernels and write software for trains.
@mathemaphysics @GeorgeStyles @minogully@mstdn.ca I'm just an armchair STEM enthusiast, and discussion of the gluon storm inside nucleons is about my limit. I simply don't have the math tools and experience to parse QFT.
I may not have the right idea in my ignorance, but I thought the storm of quark and gluon particle/ anti-particle pairs gave nucleons mass? And "quantizing gravity" means mathematically linking this "boiling stew" of nucleons to gravity at the macro level? I recognize I'm mostly flailing at it.
