Subatomic particles present wave-like behavior that is real and measurable but is not classical particle behavior. It's not just a...

Yes, the spreading of single-atom wave packets has been observed experimentally and agrees with theory: In-situ Imaging of a Single-Atom...

Do you have a reference for this? Please bear in mind that personal theories and personal research are out of bounds for discussion here...

How? Superposition means that equations are linear. You can do both QM and QFT in non-inertial frames, it's just tedious and gives...

You missed the point. I was not claiming that either Minkowski spacetime or Schwarzschild spacetime are realistic. They are just clear...

See the bolded addition in the quote above. Without it the statement is false. Again see the bolded addition. I think both additions...

The boundary conditions.

No, I would make no such claim. The stretched rubber band has a nonzero stress and strain in it. This is physically measurable and...

So how is your hypothetical in which we say that a particular tensor is not the metric tensor relevant to this at all? No, it isn't...

I remember reading it and wondering why he was so proud that his math served no useful purpose other than to view its elegance and...

We become aware of how well certain mathematical situations correspond to things we find, work we do, and such very difficult to...

You might like to read Hardy's - A Mathematician's Apology. He was, in a sense, proud that what he did had no application, but even he...

We see your feel in usage of "lol", but Mathematics gives us great, great predictive power.

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...
