Calculate Particle Wave Function Over 1 Planck Time

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the calculation of a particle's wave function over a time interval of one Planck time. Participants explore the implications of Planck values in relation to time dilation and the speed of light, while also considering the transition from macroscopic to microscopic scales.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about a calculation for a particle wave function over one Planck time.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the initial question, indicating confusion.
  • A different participant suggests that they might be asking an impossible question, expressing interest in time dilation and the application of Planck values to minimize velocity for microscopic calculations.
  • This participant also considers Planck values as a potential definition for the speed of light.
  • A later reply mentions finding information on the de Broglie frequency, which the participant believes addresses their question.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants express confusion and explore different aspects of the topic without agreeing on a specific approach or solution.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully defined their assumptions regarding the application of Planck values or the specifics of time dilation calculations, leaving some aspects unresolved.

Does anyone have a calculation that can calculate a particle wave function over 1 Planck time interval?

Please clarify. :confused:

Please clarify. :confused:

I think I may be asking the impossible. I am looking into the calculations for time dilation. I am wondering if the Planck values can be applied to reduce the scale of the calculations. I want minimal velocity values that reduce the movement to the microscopical level rather than the macroscopical. I am also looking at the Planck values as a definition of the speed of light.
 
I have just found information on the de Broglie frequency which answers my own question.
