Natural Science Forum / Physics / General Physics / July 2008Schrodinger equation made easy
For those who look for intuitive insight in Quantum Physics, I published a video sequence on the Schrödinger equation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmEMVJYbTu8 You may see the Schrodinger equation as a general law that is valid for any rotating arrow-like object, microscopic or macroscopic: i d|A>/ dt = omega |A> Kind regards, Arjen Dijksman Materion <materion@free.fr> wrote in news:fca33b13-ad48-4228-b61e- a3046258f145@c65g2000hsa.googlegroups.com: > For those who look for intuitive insight in Quantum Physics, I > published a video sequence on the Schrödinger equation: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Kind regards, > Arjen Dijksman Thank you. That's better than most of what we get in here, although still too calm. You need to take a note from Walter Lewin's text and shout everything with a tone of enthusiasm. That's what makes the kids want to listen. I found myself drifting off to sleep during the presentation, but then, I was already quite tired. Your video is infinitely better than the relativity deniers and the other crackpots we have in here. And it reminded me of something that should have already been instinstive for me. In fact a good summary might be to tie it together with circular motion, which students will hopefully have seen in high school physics. Thus there's just a slight generalization, by having moved to the complex plane.

I graduated at the same university as he did in Holland, but 25 years later and after that I had very little contact with the world of institutional physics. Yes, I'll try to make it more lively in my next sequences and could make a summary of the way Schrödinger's equation may be applied to ordinary objects.

You're welcome. You could also tie it in with the spinors that electrical engineers use to describe vectors that rotate with a specific frequency. I think that they use it for resonant circuits, and not EM. I think there's another, completely different, kind of spinor that's a from string theory or astrophysics, but that's not the one I mean. You continental Europeans are really good at physics, and I wish we had more like you over here in America. Over here, nobody has a clue about physics, and the dew of us that do, just kind of swim through a sea of ignorant people. |
