Yes, I understand that by the ship's clock it will not be ##6## months, but what about the distance, it will be ##3## light months from the ship's point of view (or not?). What will the diagram look like?
The ship left Earth at a speed of 0.5c . When the distance between the ship and Earth was 0.25 light year, a terrorist was caught on Earth who said that he had planted a bomb at the time of departure and activated it for 10 months. At that moment, a warning signal was sent from Earth.

Well, if there were always Lissajous curves, then everything is fine. But sometimes closed curves are obtained, which are far from similar to such figures.
We get the following picture of the formation of inhomogeneities:
Initially, all eternally existing fields (possibly fermionic-lepton-quark-DM-field and GUT-field) lived in a vacuum state --- no real particles (only virtual ones), just fluctuated (##\left\langle\Delta E\right\rangle = 0##...
One of the paradoxical principles in Quantum Physics is the principle of quantum superposition, since in quantum theory we are not really talking about the superposition of waves or oscillations, but about the superposition of states.
A classic example demonstrating the phenomenon of quantum...
Well, following Ginsburg (in Russian http://www.akzh.ru/pdf/2005_1_24-36.pdf), let's consider the approach of the Hamiltonian method in classical electrodynamics:
The potentials of the EM field can be expanded as:
\begin{equation}
\vec{A}(\vec{r},t) = \sum\limits_{\lambda,i = 1,2}...

What does "source" mean, what is the meaning of this?
Maxwell's equations without sources also have a nontrivial solution. If we assume that the "source" is what generates, then why are there solutions to equations without sources?
I would interpret the "source" of the field as...
Fields are fundamental entities in theory. We can "measure" them when they interact. If, for example, a charge, interacting with an electromagnetic field, can pump energy into it, which we interpret as the appearance of a photon (radiation). Photon is an excited state of the field.
In modern...
