Schrödinger equation
• A differential equation which forms the basis of the quantum-mechanical description of matter in terms of the wave-like properties of particles in a field. Its solution is related to the probability density of a particle in space and time.

Another Blogger Jumps Into the Dualism Fray
It has been a while since I wrote about dualism – the notion that the mind is something more than the functioning of the brain. Previously I had a blog duel about dualism with creationist neurosurgeon, Michael Egnor. Now someone else has jumped into that discuss... |

8d9d1b6938c57723 | Particles can also be called wave packets. There is some probability function that determines which part of the wave packet the mass of the particle is in. The tail of this probability function can extend into a seperate neighboring object, during which time, the particle could decide to jump to that other place and th... |

Hi all!
I was studying the HJ-formalism of classical mechanics when I came upon a modified HJE:

and [tex]dr=(dx,dy,dz)[/tex] is the ... |
