What is being discussed when frequency is used to describe atoms? Or maybe I should be thinking nuclear oscillations...In other words, the wave function of what?

I have no experience in physics just to let you all know. I have learned what I know from the one website Wikipedia, which seems to be the link everyone uses to direct some questions on these forums. I am not here to argue with anyone because you all would blow me out of the water with knowlege...

Its hard for me to believe that QM is just going to continue as a science that is purely based on equations. I understand that mathematics is the medium to QM but do you all agree that it is going to that way? Will there ever be a point where QM is as understandable and can be modeled to a...

What I am getting at neu, is why do we have to "break the link somewhere", I mean why can't we try to make that connection instead of leaving QM as its own idea and theory. My personal belief is that the forces that constantly surround our life wether it be on a micro or macro scale are...

Lets say that you took a Hydrogen Atom and expanded it to the size of let's say a basketball. I am not just saying the atom itself but the nucleus. If the nucleus expanded to the size of a basketball; how would the electron size up porportionally. Now keeping it all porportional what would the...
