@ACuriousMind It's my primary concern.

@0ßelö7 Then good riddance.

@BalarkaSen At least, I'm assuming what most people think of Kung Fu is something along the lines of what Shaolin Monks do

What the actual hell was that for

Mithrandir24601

And Shaolin Monks go to efforts to avoid actual combat as it's against their philosophy. Not so much against competition or sparring though

0ßelö7

@lılostafa asked me about combat prowess and I gave an answer

Balarka Sen

@Mithrandir24601 I see. I know shamefully little about the philosophy of Shaolin Monks

Mithrandir24601

@lılostafa As I've said here before, Kung Fu is a much better choice than MMA, simply because it involves weapons. i.e. this statement takes Kung Fu totally out of context. It's kind of hard to hit someone who's got a weapon when you haven't

Balarka Sen

@Blue There's not much artisery going on in the film industry, nope.

Have you seen any of Ritwik Ghatak

Quick question: today a kid asked me why wave-functions in the infinite square well have to be continuous at the boundary. His point was that with an infinite discontinuity in the potential we shouldn't rely too much on intuition as to what properties the solution(s) should have.
I pointed out that we can solve the finite square well and let the potential difference --> infty and the solutions will smoothly transition to the infinite-square-well solutions we find when assuming the solutions are continuous.

Mithrandir24601

@lılostafa If you want to get good at hand-to-hand combat, then I'd be willing to believe that. However, that's still not the point of kung fu. If you want the combat version, then you do kickboxing

Anyhow, it's late, so I'm off to bed - night all!

0ßelö7

@nitsua60 Oh, finite case follows from the Schroedinger equation.

There's a way to argue that if the potential isn't too bad, the wave function must be $C^1$.

0ßelö7

@BalarkaSen lol

nitsua60

@0ßelö7 Right. But the student's arguing (in this terminology) that V=0 in well, \infty otherwise might be "too bad." And aside from "it gives the answers we see observationally" and "it flows from finite case" I didn't have a good answer at hand.

Balarka Sen

12:15 AM

But I lost the taste in detective fiction after Sherlock Holmes

That shit is craycray

Hard to top it

0ßelö7

@nitsua60 the idea is basically that if $E\psi =-\psi''+V\psi$, then you integrate once to get like $\psi' =-\int (E\psi-V\psi)$

Balarka Sen

@0ßelö7 y u laugh

@BalarkaSen They were funny though :P

nitsua60

@0ßelö7 Yes--we're talking infinite square well.

0ßelö7

@nitsua60 No, as I was saying, for that case the correct solution is to solve it for a finite potential, then take $V\to \infty$

That's the physical interpretation for "infinite well"

Just a very very large finite well

Balarka Sen

12:18 AM

I love Doyle's original works, of course. If you want a recommendation in adaptation, I really like the series in the 80's in which Jeremy Brett acted

0ßelö7

If your student thought some more he would conclude that "infinite square well" is nonsense to begin with

Balarka Sen

80s-90s

0ßelö7

You get the boundary conditions in the finite case from my method above. Then you take $V\to \infty$ to get the infinite ones.

nitsua60

@0ßelö7 I don't think I'm making myself clear--sorry.

Q: Why do I keep getting kicked from chat?

This evening I have been kicked twice from chat, apparently for not acting in "good faith." All I said is that my primary concern is whether my messages will be flagged or not. I don't see what's wrong with that, flagged messages are not offensive so if I'm not posting offensive messages what is ...

nitsua60

Finite square well uses differentiability at the boundaries as conditions. If we let V-->\infty we get the solutions to the infinite square well that we (you and I) expect.
But in a sense we've imported the continuity boundary condition from the finite case to the infinite case by doing so.
The student questions whether that's wise, and that strikes me as a good bit of critical thinking.

Anonymous

Okay, except Pather Pachali...that one was awesome

0ßelö7

@nitsua60 And I'm saying you should counter by asking them what "infinite square well" is actually supposed to mean

Balarka Sen

@Blue Oh they're not movies

Just short stories

0ßelö7

12:22 AM

It's a mathematical model for a very, very large finite square well.

Anonymous

@BalarkaSen I see. Like?

nitsua60

So the question is: why, in the presence of an infinite discontinuity in V, is it sensible to require continuity in the wave function?

0ßelö7

So you use the same boundary condition with an appropriate limit

Balarka Sen

@Blue "Khagama" is great

nitsua60

@0ßelö7 That's basically what I did. "Let's go with this for a sec. When we've built up enough skills to solve the finite square well we'll see that solutions to that converge to these in the limit that V-->\infty."

Alright, gotta go put the girls to bed. Night, all.

@0ßelö7 I don't really know you, so I'll just have to hope you take this in the helpful spirit in which it's intended: characterizing the response to a question you asked about your behavior and the moderator response it saw as a "roast" seems, to me, to be a comment in the same vein he's talking about.

2:03 AM

@nitsua60 Why did you capitalize "Assume Good Faith"?

nitsua60

@lılostafa habit. It's an elucidated principle over on wikipedia, and generally referred to capitalized just like people often do with "Be Nice" around here. Signaling that it's not just a spontaneous phrase coming out, but a reference to something external.

Wikipedia:Assume good faith

Assuming good faith (AGF) is a fundamental principle on Wikipedia. It is the assumption that editors' edits and comments are made in good faith. Most people try to help the project, not hurt it. If this were untrue, a project like Wikipedia would be doomed from the beginning. This guideline does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of obvious evidence to the contrary (e.g. vandalism). Assuming good faith does not prohibit discussion and criticism. Rather, editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of such...

Some other thoughts: Are there experiments that test the effect of gravity vs electromagnetism on the surface area of the object.

That is, suppose we have two balls of the same density attached to a magnet, we then stick the balls onto a steel wall, will the larger ball be easier to fall off?

More conretely, does the strength of gravity have any dependence on the surface area of the object?

If you're using kielbasa that's already pretty strongly flavoured. I wouldn't put too much else in.

I agree that some chopped fresh chilli would be good. Apart from that just salt to taste.

Fredrieck

Hi there. I am just reading about the Bohr model now. I don't know much about physics as of yet.

So the Bohr model is obsolete it seems. This is a classical model, and doesn't capture the quantum phenomenon?

Jester Tran

AHHH

@JohnRennie thank you, that makes a lot of sense haha

John Rennie

4:24 AM

@Fredrieck yes, the Bohr model was an early attempt to understand why energy levels in an atom should be quantised, but it bears no relation to what actually happens.

Though actually it is sort of related to the quantisation of a particle on a ring.

I wouldn't recommend spending too much time on the Bohr model as it won't help you understand quantum mechanics.

Jester Tran

how do i go about learning how gravity works and why it is exists?

Semiclassical

main reason i remember the bohr atom these days is that it's how I get to the fine structure constant

Fredrieck

I think the particle on a ring is more or less what I was looking at.

So the Bohr model is based upon (at least) one assumption, that an electron has a circular path around the nucleus [looking at hydrogen atom right now, so maybe this is wrong outside of this case]

Semiclassical

i.e. the mnemonic that $\beta=v/c=\alpha$

Fredrieck

So the circular path implies that the position and velocity are orthogonal, which lets us see immediately what the radius of the orbit is via the magnitude of the angular momentum. Then he 'quantizes' $|\underline{L}|$

So we have a finite set of radii for the orbit

Is this conclusion obsolete?

Semiclassical

4:33 AM

given that quantum mechanics (at least the orthodox interpretation) doesn't take particle trajectories to be meaningful in the first place

yes, it's obsolete

0ßelö7

@Semiclassical look at this ridiculous "proof"

Semiclassical

hmm?

0ßelö7

Fredrieck

Sure, but from this, doesn't one correctly deduce the energy levels of the orbits in different energy levels, with respect to non-relativistic quantum mechanics?

0ßelö7

I bet the first part of that requires some heavy duty work

a reference would be nice!

Semiclassical

4:35 AM

What's that a corollary of?

@Fredrieck It correctly reproduces the principal energy levels.

Fredrieck

'reproduces'? This was already known?

0ßelö7

Semiclassical

It wasn't. But quantum mechanics tells you how to derive the energy levels in a systematic way; moreover, it tells you about further corrections to the energy levels of the hydrogen atom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_atom#Energy_levels

0ßelö7

I know how to derive the Corollary another way

So meh

I still think that proof is so lazy

John Rennie

@Fredrieck: quantum particles don't have a position and therefore they don't have a trajectory. The Bohr model reproduces the basic properties of a single electron atom, but fails completely for atoms with more than one electron.

And even in hydrogen it fails to explain the fine structure and the lamb shift.

@JesterTran at what sort of level do you want to understand gravity? Are you interested in the Newtonian description or Einstein's general relativity?
