I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified...

How does time derivative commute from one variable to another?
.
That's the hand-waving way to do it. If you want to justify it more formally, then you need a sound mathematical basis for what is a...

How does time derivative commute from one variable to another?
.
The definition of a differential that I use is: If ##x = f(t)## then ##dx = f'(t)dt##, where ##f'(t) = \frac{df}{dt}##. So, as ##\dot...

Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere

I'm not sure what you mean by really occurs. The hydrogen atom satisfies the relevant Schrodinger equation. That gives a sequence of...

No, it doesn't. QM applies for a hydrogen atom. And classical electromagnetism does not apply.

Wrong. For someone falling into the black hole, time passes normally. Their clocks read one second per second, just as ours do. We see...

Why? Positively charged sphere is something way different than proton. Real world sphere would consist of milions of atoms itself!

How are you going to model a charged sphere in QM? If you replace the hydrogen nucleus with a greater positive charge, then the lowest...

This is a serious misconception, albeit one promoted by many popular-science sources.
