Is it possible to combine a time-series of tree-ring widths and and a time-series of diameter at breast height measurements into one TS?

Hello together! I have some time-series for tree-rings from dating from 1850-2016 and diameter at breast height (DBH) from 1996-2022 for the same plot, however the sampled trees for tree-rings...

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...

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...
