Okay so what I said was that an electron cannot follow a spacetime trajectory. What you said is that there's a continuous probablility of finding the electron "there". But having a deterministic probability isn't the same as having a deterministic position.

So how does an electron get from R_1s to R_2p? Or are you saying that there are continuous bands of emission?

Yes temperature is calculated as a macroscopic quantity but there are microscopic corollaries hence statistical mechanics. The zeroth law should hold as often as the 1st,2nd,3rd laws do. The rotation and velocity of particles in their micro and macro configurations are determined in probability...

[Forked off from this thread to allow for discussion of more basic principles of QM] Time derivatives limit the mechanism for evolution in a system. Since quantum particles jump rather than move through space, a rate of change of position per unit time is meaningless. Indeterminacy arises in...

It's exactly the transitive property of mathematics. If a=b and b=c, then a=c. The temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles. The frame is taken to be one instance of measurement. The relative temperatures depend on the equilibrium state of the system. Is it closed...

I'm pondering the implications of the inherent spin of an electron as not having any classical comparison. The spin is 1/2 yet we have no evidence that an electron is more than a point particle. I have no idea how it is a point particle while it has mass. Yet consider the neutrino which only...

I am a struggling undergraduate student trying to ponder the current state of quantum mechanics and it's paradigm of classical misinterpretation. I am interested in continuing study in quantum field theory.
