To elaborate further on Peter's excellent answer (having posted for over 15 years now, they always are), in my recent posts, I have...

I think it's the other way around. Assuming a wave function amounts to assuming a particular Hilbert space (the space of square...

In axiomatic approaches to Quantum Field Theory, which I think any attempt to understand quantum theory will eventually have to engage...

There is no such thing. In "standard quantum mechanics", time evolution is only predicted by the Schrodinger equation in between...

No, this is not correct. An interpretation that claims single outcomes (which at least some versions of "Copenhagen" do--that term is...

According to an interpretation like the MWI, yes. But there are other interpretations that would not agree. Same comment here.

M Math is cool but it dont " matter" lol

Such is Mathematics.

I think, at rock bottom, math is motivated by an abstraction of physical reality. Why that abstraction was chosen, and even why to...

I would say (imo) no. But, geometry is definitely an approximation or idealization of what we see in nature. Developing the logical...

@anuttarasammyak We are going to need to look over your two partial derivative expressions carefully, because your solution is...

continued from #2: With the help of Wolfram I get one real solution...

@anuttarasammyak That's one part of what I did to solve it. Those two partial derivative expressions are really too clumsy to solve...

Square of the distance is $$L^2=(y_1-y_2)^2+(x_1-x_2)^2=(4-x_1^2-(x_2-3)^2)^2+(x_1-x_2)^2$$ The condition of minimum is $$\frac{\partial...
