Well, the hydrogen atom is in the link in the OP.

I appreciate that it would take time to answer all the questions I asked you but even yes or no responses would help me understand your position bette...
March 14, 2022 at 15:52
I am sure Putin would agree with you!
March 14, 2022 at 15:26
When you view the image of the hydrogen atom, why do you think the 'electron/cloud orbit' looks like it is made up of many much smaller quanta? and wh...
March 14, 2022 at 15:21
So this is one of your main divergences from the thinking of the current majority of physicists, yes? But in 3D space is a 'field' not a 'volume,' in ...

:lol: but remember! shhhhhhhhhh!
March 14, 2022 at 12:53
Yeah, oil paintings are one of my hobbies since retirement. I have posted one of my allegorical offerings on a thread called 'get creative' or somethi...
March 14, 2022 at 12:49
Satan as God's enforcer is a painting I have under consideration. Perhaps a handshake between a painted representation of each with a caption like "wh...

Yes, and I think they truly feel the former but try to promote the latter as the 'real reason' for their faith. But this is something I can't prove un...

No, the fact that humans are still breathing offends some misanthropic characters and some of the more extreme antinatalists. Yes, economic equality, ...

I don't think I can offer you any more than I have already on this topic. I will leave it to those members who offer more detail than I can. As always...
March 12, 2022 at 14:19
Humans will unite and will work together in common cause when they think they can win. Their level of confidence will rise or fall depending on unfold...
March 12, 2022 at 14:15
But this is only for those who think that more than one universe is correct. Others like myself prefer to go with the idea that inflation/expansion is...
March 12, 2022 at 12:51
Before cosmologists discovered that the expansion rate was accelerating, the big crunch was a front runner. I think however you are positing something...
March 12, 2022 at 12:15
But how can space be infinite if it is expanding, It has no need to expand if it is already infinite. If God arranged it, then why is it expanding?
March 12, 2022 at 11:42
I don't think the logic of the term infinite holds much value. That which is infinite cannot terminate (end), therefore it has to be eternal but then ...

I had never heard of the 'Loschmidt paradox,' where do you come across this stuff? I had a quick read using your link, its interesting that it was pro...

I think Italians always sound quite 'cool' when speaking their version of English. But I feel the same about Spaniards, French, Americans, Africans, A...
March 12, 2022 at 10:09
Well, I will offer the most obvious and probably the most boring and non-progressive point in regards to the fluidity of the thread, 'Because it can't...
March 12, 2022 at 09:36
I think this is ill-judged commentary and sounds rather bitter and somewhat presumptuous. You were in communication with Mr Tegmark, did you accuse hi...

I have a sister who is a fan of Jiddu Krishnamurti. I glaze over when she gives him plaudits. She despairs at my refusal to give him the credits she t...
March 11, 2022 at 16:59
I particularly like 'there's nothing I refuse to question.' I think Scientific rigor benefits from such an approach and such an attitude. "as if there...
March 11, 2022 at 16:43
Yeah, but why did he turn to characters like Jiddu Krishnamurti?
March 11, 2022 at 16:11
Thanks! I downloaded the pdf and I will read and study its contents and see if it improves my understanding of what's happening in the double split ex...
March 11, 2022 at 16:06
This is a major, pressing concern in my opinion. Any true socialist must unite with all and any groups trying to immediately halt and reverse such on-...
March 11, 2022 at 16:01
Yeah, its hard to judge someone like Bohm but he suffered badly from depression and he was friends with some mystic called Jiddu something.
March 11, 2022 at 11:46
I assume he meant 'almost no passage of time,' so I assumed he was suggesting that in some cases the appearance on the other side may happen faster th...
March 11, 2022 at 11:42
To me, this almost suggests that the electron has some kind of cognisant intent, almost 'deciding' when to jump and things get difficult and almost 'm...
March 11, 2022 at 11:38
Brian Greene talks about this type of 'quantum weirdness' and 'quantum fluctuations.' A particle which is on one side of a barrier simply 'almost spon...
March 11, 2022 at 11:25
Thank you, I downloaded the two pdf's but the maths is quite advanced (at least for me) so I will attempt to understand it at some point.
March 11, 2022 at 11:16
I don't agree with this interpretation. Physics makes predictions of the results of a particular experiment but it then accepts the actual results as ...
March 11, 2022 at 11:03
An electron fired ONE AT A TIME from the source, through the slits forms an interference pattern on the screen, unless you put a detector behind the s...
March 11, 2022 at 10:41
I am not sure that I understand all of your intended meaning based on the wording you typed above but I think it's true to suggest that there are diff...
March 10, 2022 at 17:55
Sorry, that was a wee typo. It should have been 10,000 YEARS but in the next sentence I state my opinion that these 10,000 years were mainly years of ...
March 10, 2022 at 14:42
No, you misunderstand me. I am convinced by all of Carl Sagan's great demotions. I do not assign prime importance to the human race from a Universal p...
March 10, 2022 at 14:35
I wish I could imagine such and I have quite a vivid imagination, in my opinion. I can only imagine virtual as it is proposed in virtual reality simul...

I know the song 'in the year 2525' very well, it was an old favorite of mine during my 70's..80's teenage to young man period of music. A song which, ...

I was reading something similar to this on Wikipedia and a physics site. I also read a discussion on this on quora. I understand some of it but will h...

I second that emotion!
March 10, 2022 at 13:11
Well, I understand the probability of an outcome as simply 1/all possible outcomes. The probability of a particle having a particular 4 coordinate pos...
March 10, 2022 at 13:08
Another problem solved, thanks EugeneW!
March 10, 2022 at 13:02
Ah! I was just using my keyboard @ symbol. Lets try the site @ @"EugeneW"
March 10, 2022 at 13:01
On my computer, the @EugeneW appears as just black text. Does it show as a profile link on everyone else view?
March 10, 2022 at 12:59
But I did so in my post at the top of this page, have a look! It did not produce the link, why not? Let me try again here: @EugeneW

Oh, This is Richard Feynman's mind, isn't it. Yeah, I have read about this many times in relation to the double-slit experiment. Never been able to ge...

How did you do that @universeness profile link. That's one of the things I was asking the elusive 'Baden' mod about and relates to the 'general' post ...
March 10, 2022 at 12:45
I agree, but technology such as the internet, offers the global mass of humanity more opportunity to debate, form groups, organise, protest, harass cu...
