Like.
Yes, seriously in some philosophies of ethics and less seriously in new-age pseudo-philosophy. However this thinking has proven... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Collapse of wave function and consciousness with Like.
The OP refers to: Those are ways of describing the "consciousness causes collapse" interpretation of QM. The OP might not have...

But we don't know that consciousness is a "basic element of Physics". Chalmers might think it is (although at different times he says...

This is really a separate question from the one you're asking in this thread. If you want to discuss the Penrose-Hameroff proposal...

bhobba reacted to sophiecentaur's post in the thread High School Electron absorbs photon, but what happens to the photon? with
Love.
That's one way of perhaps making this stuff easier but ,imo, that is still too 'mechanistic' a description. The photon, as an entity, is... -
bhobba reacted to ChrisF's post in the thread Graduate How to fix Relativistic QM so it's consistent? with Like.
Great question - and I genuinely wish I could contribute. I'd love to discuss it here on Physics Forums because honestly, this is...

bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad The imaginary part of the wave function with Like.
I have never seen that in any book. Unless you mean the drawing of the wave function, it's difficult to draw a complex function, so...

bhobba replied to the thread Graduate How to fix Relativistic QM so it's consistent?.In QFT, point taken. Thanks Bill

bhobba reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Undergrad The imaginary part of the wave function with Like.
I think you meant to write:$$-\frac{\hbar^2}{2 m}\nabla^2\phi_n+V\phi_n=E_n\phi_n$$

bhobba reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread Undergrad The imaginary part of the wave function with Like.
Introductory textbooks usually deal a lot with time-independent Hamiltonians of the form$$H=\frac{\mathbf{P}^2}{2 m}+V(\mathbf{x})\quad...

I don't see that at all. Consider, e.g., Griffiths & Schroeter, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (3rd ed.) in which the authors solve...

I fail to see how RQM has any bearing on this. What you've written makes no sense to me, I'm sorry to say.
