Where were you when you realised that there are no particles, only wave functions?

>>7942176
there a fields on most models.

you should jump off your roof and see how your waves displace those of the ground

Physics class, I think.

Young would like a word with you.

particles and waves are model representations of physical phenomena, not their actual nature

l2empiricism goddamn people

>>7942176
Then what do electrons cloud around, HUH?!
>>
>>7942288
You have approximative view of proton as passive fixed point, while tiny electron whirls around it.

The Truth is that they are both part of joint wave function.

>>7942390
>proton
*EXCUSE* me? I consider the entire nucleus to be a wave function.
>>
>>7942392
As you should. I explain hydrogen. Simple example for simple person.

in 11th grade english, when i was supposed to be writing an essay
i spent most of that time reading science journals and wikipedia pages

probably why i failed high school tbqh, i didnt even take a science class
>>
>>7942396
So basically the nucleus can be described as a drop which can *Swoosh* out into a pool? Makes sense in pertinence to the double slit thing.

But what's up with all of the empty space between atoms?

I was in the student room, discussing trajectories in spacetime with other student when I dropped scientific realism. I guess that's the
>realised that there are no particles
part, but of course the wave functions abstraction is also just a model.
I think one must get a good hold on the Wheeler-DeWitt equation before going too far further in that discussion.

Lol

>>7942283
so you guys just ignore the correct obvious answer and talk bullshit ad infinitum?

>the ideology is strong with those anons

An intro quantum physics class, taking notes.

The Heisenberg picture is most likely closer to "how things really are" than the Schroedinger. The Schroedinger picture treats time too specially.

You write like a faggot.

welcome to /sci/, where science is IQ, your math problems are always high school level, and philosophical matters are welcomed with extreme hostility.
