I'll take the warning, but I don't see the difference in these statements and feel like I'm mostly agreeing with you guys and you are saying I'm wrong. Both imply describing somethings behavior, is not describing properties of the thing its self. "Photons cannot be described by a wave...

No, it actually describes light as a probability wave, that's why I said it. Just 8 pages past the one with the quote from OP. Then describes experiments that explain this wave-particle view. While describing all the different versions of experiments they do give the caveat: "Bear in mind that...

When you guys say you will need to unlearn the quantization of light into photons, it sounds like you are saying is wrong, or atleast not an example of true quantization. You then make it sound as if subatomic particles do not follow any rules of energy quantization, and its just wave...

You are telling me basic rule #6 (Born's rule) in the sticky of this forum, correct? It states that the probability density of finding a particle at a given point, when measured, is proportional to the square of the magnitude of the particle's wavefunction at that point. It was formulated by...

What did they say that's wrong?

I think its just more important to understand Einstein did not think quantum mechanics was correct, and that something better than statistical/ probablilistic descriptions of quantum mechanics would come along eventually.

This is from the 10th edition and 2015 not the 6th and 2001, its still in that one. Light is a probability wave, made up of a discrete and quantifiable amount of particles, we call them photons. Like you can't have 1/2 or 1/4 of a human, but you still see it all the time in statistics, you can't...

Before and after a scattering event in a dilute gas or a particle collider ring, particles can be considered as being essentially free. During the very short interaction time itself, the scattering process cannot be described by a particle picture. This is what I meant by it gets statistical/...

The forces we experience is gravity and electromagnetic force, specifically of just the negative electrons repelling each other and the potential energy well created by the gigantic mass of the earth. They both work over extremely far distances. They cancel each other out based on their strength...

0.02199 m^3 Volume of cylinder (it should be 7*pi/1000.) 293.00K =20C 30g of 32g O2=0.9375 mol 8.3144598 J/mol K = R 103,864 pascal = initial pressure I only added this as I think you got the volume wrong. +80% 186,955 pascal PV/R=nT PV/R= (186,955*.02199)/8.3144598= 494.457 mol K From...

Maybe you just want to do somthing simple lke a regression line fit to some gathered data. The data points I choose ae just made up. "Distance to rolling stop" = 73.888ln(tire pressure) - 151.45. Your regression might benefit from using an absolute tire pressure, instead of a typical gauge...

Think of two lights that are blinking. Then how each observer will preceive them. Maybe this image will help. You could also think of what you hear when a train goes by at a normal velocity compared to what the passengers hear. Coming toward Observer B the light would be compressed and be...

https://gilles.montambaux.com/files/histoire-physique/Bose-1924.pdf Bose applied Plancks law to the classical electromagnetism, Quantizing the field down to the photon. Dirac went on to refine this for electrons appling relativity to them as waves. but, Really Feynman said it best. "A photon...

Plancks law, sure does descibe black body radiation nicely. It doesn't ignore position, but ensures that it's defined. Frequency and momentum are the same thing. Photons are moving at a constant speed, and you can't give them a single defined position, other wise they would cease to exist. Just...

"In particular, black body radiation, photoluminescence, generation of cathode rays from ultraviolet light and other phenomena associated with the generation and transformation of light seem better modeled by assuming that the energy of light is distributed discontinuously in space. According to...
