Electrons are easy

"Well... You see... When its a particle it spins. When its a wave its still doing that. How does a waveform spin you ask? Listen. Shut the fuck up. The math is really weird and some of this stuff just happens and you can't visualize it in your head. We didn't believe it at first either but after 50 years of experiments we have to just accept that reality is consistent with the math even if we don't fully conceptualize what that means even"

Also please don't look at it

"All models are wrong, but some are useful." -George Box

My advanced E&M professor said "Imagine a sphere of radius zero. Trust me, it works."

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

It's a point but it doesn't actually exist at any point. It exists in a cloud where it could exist anywhere in there.

Google "Electron Orbitals". All the spaces there are all the possible highest likely locations for the electrons. Good Introduction to some Quantum Mechanics 👍

I swear quantum physics is magic and made up!

+1/2 h and -1/2 h

Fucking hate the people that insist on using only half of the number as if it was a real value. At least say you are working with natural unities or something.

If we theorize that the universe is like a computer program, then maybe the Universe has several layers of abstraction and we only can access our current layer, therefore forever having an incomplete model. If something external to our layer is affecting it, it would probably be impossible to know.

Now everything is clear. Thanks!

The closest representation is that cliche television shot where someone's thinking really hard and equations fly around their head.

We haven't even started with quantum fields yet.
