What's the really meaning of weak values?

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...

How are iso-frequency contours plotted?

Let's say we have a standard, regular hexagonal honeycomb with a 3-arm primitive unit cell (something like the figure attached; the figure is only representative and not drawn to scale). The...

Is the zero-zero component of the metric tensor equal to 1 for accelerating reference frames?

Consider the case of negligible gravity but there is an accelerating reference frame. Its origin traces out a trajectory, or world line, seen in some inertial reference frame. The Lorentz metric...

Assuming that the central philosophy of the Schrodnger equation is the cat in a box paradox, can this phylosipy be adjusted?

We assume that the cat in a box paradox may allow an additional approach to include multiple cats in the same box. We can now see two seemingly different views, quantum and classical. The...

For a short relevant discussion, check out my blog post on the subject. I will probably write more at some point.
