  2. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    The ladder frame is for a person sitting on the front of the ladder, with x ′ and t ′ being the ladder space and time axes respectively. The blue and red lines, AB and AC, depict the ladder at the time when its front end meets the garage's exit door, in the frame of reference of the garage and the ladder, respectively.

  3. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    The problem for graphs is NP-complete if the edge lengths are assumed integers. The problem for points on the plane is NP-complete with the discretized Euclidean metric and rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric. [3]: ND22, ND23

  4. Bethe–Salpeter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethe–Salpeter_equation

    While in QED the ladder approximation caused problems with crossing symmetry and gauge invariance, indicating the inclusion of crossed-ladder terms. In quantum chromodynamics (QCD) this approximation is frequently used phenomenologically to calculate hadron mass and its structure in terms of Bethe—Salpeter amplitudes and Faddeev amplitudes, a ...

  5. List of unsolved problems in astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    This article is a list of notable unsolved problems in astronomy. Problems may be theoretical or experimental. Theoretical problems result from inability of current theories to explain observed phenomena or experimental results. Experimental problems result from inability to test or investigate a proposed theory.

  6. Cosmic distance ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_distance_ladder

    The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects. A direct distance measurement of an astronomical object is possible only for those objects that are "close enough" (within about a thousand parsecs ) to Earth.

  7. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    The "ladder operator" method, developed by Paul Dirac, allows extraction of the energy eigenvalues without directly solving the differential equation. [10] It is generalizable to more complicated problems, notably in quantum field theory.

  8. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result. The others are experimental, meaning that there is a difficulty in creating an experiment to test a proposed theory or investigate a phenomenon in greater detail.

  9. Alexei Tsvelik - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Tsvelik

    Similar approaches proved useful in the understanding of spin ladder materials, of interest as simplified versions of high-Tc materials. [12] As shown by Tsvelik in collaboration with Nersesyan and Shelton, [ 13 ] a two-leg ladder has a simple low-energy representation in terms of four (weakly interacting) massive Majorana fermions, enabling ...
