Ahhh I see. It has always been difficult to nail down whether the wave function was genuinely an area, in which the particle could be at probably points given certain values, or that the wave function was in essence just that, a wave or area that the particle is and is not all in the same. That...

That makes sense, I have never thought about it like that before but it absolutely makes sense. I appreciate the help! The way I envision it is say all particles(oversimplified) are a bunch of tennis ball sized objects, and the wave function has a foundational lattice of some sort that is built...

I apologize, I just realized that this may be a better thread for the foundations forum, and if the mods would be so kind to move it. I apologize for the extra work you may have to do and will be more careful in the future.

Greeting all! So I apologize if this has been explained to death and if so, please advise as I do not want to clog up the forums with the same questions over and over. A little background first, a coworker and I routinely talk about astrophysics and quantum mechanics( yes, somewhere out there...

Yes! It's difficult for someone like me with no physics background when we get to recon class phase 1(the first of 4 classes, that are 2 weeks each) and see that speed and force aren't directly proportional. Then you add in speed loss when braking over different surfaces, flips and vaults...

Absolutely! People(most) have no idea that it is only a few inches of rubber that contacts the road. That small amount of rubber controlling the incredible forces acting on and coming from the vehicle is scary. On a sad note, the more fatalities one works, especially when it involves teenagers...

Yes I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of police radar( and lack of lidar) questions asked and I am finding out that teachers and professors like to use a speeder and police car type scenario as the basis for some homework questions. Now they always seem to be missing the friction...

Thank you so much! I apologize for that. I will try very hard not to disrupt and be very cautious of words I use. I do not wish to offend anyone and I have absolutely read the rules. I am here to learn and also to contribute as much as I can, in any way. I won't be leading the way in quantum...

Thank you! Lol my wheels turning remark was more aimed at the thought that some may have that I am a poorly educated regular guy, which is mostly true. I will say that I appear to maybe have an aptitude for more of the cerebral things than most of my coworkers, but I am not beyond being a...

Hello all, First off, thank you for taking time out of your no doubt busy schedules. A little background, I am a police officer in SC. . . . .yes I can hear the wheels turning in your brains. I have a run of the mill Associates Degree and working on a Bachelors. This being said, I am without a...
