Question
Asked 7th Sep, 2023

Why is it that only English universities only offer physics Masters required with current research's mathematical techniques and principles?

Most masters focus on general review of qm, classical mechanics, assesing students skills in classical yet heneric and self-value calculative and interpreting capabilities.
The English MSc's on the other hand, provide an introduction to the physical principles and mathematical techniques of current research in:
general relativity
quantum gravity
quantum f. Theory
quantum information
cosmology and the early universe
There is also a particular focus on topics reflecting research strengths.
Graduates are more well equiped to contribute to research and make impressive ph. D dissertations.
Of course instructors that teach masters are working in classical and quantum gravity, geometry and relativity, to take the theoretical physics sub-domain, in all universities but the emphasis on current research's mathematical techniques and principles is only found in English university'masters offerings.

If they do that its not so comon. Research is only really heavy with Ph. D. degrees.
However advanced lab work or elective courses closer to research is probably
offered at Masters level. Thats fine. If they go through required courses, the elective ones are fine.
I suspect only large departments can offer such variety.
Academic course work and research are very different ball games, at some stage you have to make
a transition.

Μr Verch indeed My research, which was not fully developped at the time I asked my question, showed that this the case.
Still, a 30% offer the classic calculative phys quantities - based skills of big 4 (and less conceptual understanding assesment or less actual "doing the science" skills of qm, CM, statistical and thermal. Physics) which trends to be considered classic masters structilure or outdated.

Is the existence of space-time replaced with the ubiquity of gravitons and photons into which is built the real and imaginary numbers of Wick rotation

Here are a few thoughts of mine that say space can't be curved because it doesn't exist. What we call space is actually the ubiquitous presence of gravitons and photons. Light passing the Sun is refracted because these particles follow curved paths. This naturally means the virtual particles currently theorized to fill space don't exist (only gravitons and photons do).
This might mean (a) gravity and electromagnetism can undergo a particular interaction to form particles with mass (this is supported by Einstein's publication in 1919 of an article suggesting gravity plays a role in the composition of elementary particles), and (b) space, while filled with gravitons and photons, is the absence of the mass-generating interaction.
However, it’s very convenient to simply speak of curved space – just as we say the Sun rises and sets while neglecting to mention Earth’s rotation … or speak of waves travelling without referring to the lack of horizontal propagation - photons merely "bob up and down" like particles of water. Electromagnetism would be caused by a travelling gravitational wave causing excitation of pre-existing photons (either in so-called "space" or in masses like atoms and objects).
Consistent with the unity of space and time, time could be something built into gravitons and photons. I believe these particles (what we call "space") are built from binary digits and topology immersed in the 3rd dimension, that they interact to form mass by a process I call vector-tensor-scalar geometry, and that the 4th dimension of "time" which is built into the particles is the real plus imaginary numbers of Wick rotation.
¿La cuarta dimensión es la clave para comprender el mundo cuántico?

Introducción:
La física cuántica es una rama de la física que estudia el comportamiento de la materia y la energía a escalas muy pequeñas, del orden de las distancias atómicas. El mundo cuántico está gobernado por leyes muy diferentes a las del mundo macroscópico, y sus propiedades son a menudo contraintuitivas.
Una de las características más sorprendentes del mundo cuántico es la superposición. Una partícula cuántica puede estar en dos o más estados a la vez, lo que significa que puede estar en dos lugares diferentes al mismo tiempo, o tener dos velocidades diferentes.
Pregunta:
¿Es posible que la cuarta dimensión sea la clave para comprender el mundo cuántico?
Argumentos a favor:
  • Analogía de la sombra: Un objeto de tres dimensiones puede proyectarse en dos dimensiones por su sombra. Esto sugiere que nuestra realidad de tres dimensiones podría ser la proyección de un objeto de cuarta dimensión.
  • Percepción de los seres de cuatro dimensiones: En una cuarta dimensión, un ser de cuatro dimensiones podría ser capaz de ver un momento en múltiples estados. Esto explicaría la superposición cuántica, ya que un ser de cuatro dimensiones podría ver a una partícula cuántica en todos sus estados posibles al mismo tiempo.
  • Inconsistencias con el mundo macroscópico: Las propiedades del mundo cuántico son a menudo incoherentes con las del mundo macroscópico. Esto sugiere que el mundo cuántico está sujeto a leyes diferentes, que podrían ser explicadas por la existencia de una cuarta dimensión.
Argumentos en contra:
  • Falta de evidencia experimental: No hay evidencia experimental directa de la existencia de una cuarta dimensión.
  • Especulación: La idea de que la cuarta dimensión es la clave para comprender el mundo cuántico es una especulación.
Does 4 dimensional spacetime have a physical time component?

An event in 4 dimensional spacetime is designated by coordinates x, y, z and t. Spacetime physically has the three spatial coordinates (x, y and z). Does spacetime also have a physical property that gives it a temporal coordinate? For example, the rate of time depends on the gravitational potential. Clocks run slower in the 4D space close to a large mass compared to the 4D space far from a large mass. Is this just an effect on physical objects such as clocks and atoms or does the space itself have a temporal property that is slowed by the effect of gravity?
This is a discussion question. Therefore, I will express my opinion. I believe in John Wheeler’s spacetime foam representation of spacetime. He said “Empty space is not empty. It is the seat of the most violent physics.” He then described spacetime on the scale of Planck length as having Planck length oscillations at Planck frequency. If spacetime has oscillations at a frequency that can be affected by gravity, then spacetime has an internal clock and a physical time component. Even the physical constants G, c, and ħ each have time components. It is not possible to define any of these three physical constants without introducing a local rate of time.
I think that spacetime must incorporate Planck frequency oscillations to achieve the temporal properties (the 4th dimension) of spacetime. Do you agree or disagree? If you believe spacetime does not have an internal clock (oscillations), then what determines the local rate of time?
