Particles, your thoughts?

[Mike Dubbeld]

Tried to get my digital camera ready for the late night launch of the Space Shuttle (Endeavor) at 4:39 Sunday morning. But it doesn't look good. I will try to film it but my camera is not too big on night shots.

24 hour scrub of the Space Shuttle Endeavor. Next launch date time 4:15 tomorrow morning. It is distubing to me how many people like to participate on science forums that do not follow these events. It means the people that do particpate spend as much time on tiddly winks forms and golf or how to pick your nose forums but want to show up and fart here on FC.

Its all physical.
Nothing is non-physical so why you call some things physical as if the others are not I do not know.

That's because you don't know much about Quantum Mechanics. Okay then you are speaking of two things almost unrelated. The probability wave, or wave function, is not a physical thing, though the wavelength of light is. The wave function is a description of a physical thing. Do I really need to give a mathematical example? Though I doubt it would be understood anyways.

Also for example, in an electron beam microscope, an electrons de Broglie wavelength (physical wavelength) is what makes images, not its "probability wave"

Mike,
Tell me about it...I might have to go into an explanation of quantum mechanics here and I dont know if I want to put that much effort in.
