1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...

Salim Gasmi

Mean ± SEM

Shibabrata Pattanayak

SD/√n=SE, so far I recollect.

Generally, Mean+_SEM is used now a days.

Thanks.

Manoj Kumar Dabi

For reporting samples' or replicates' characteristics, use Mean +/- SD. To describe a population, always use SEm. SD is an observed value while SEm or simply SE is an estimated value based on sample or replicate information.
