Talk:Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics

message: Is it just me, but is this Quantum Mechanics theory is simply a way to describe what Physicists can't be certain of? And regarding the probability of popping up of anti-matter and matter, then would that also mean that it is possible (although highly improbable) that one day I'll see myself popping out of nowhere and "exploding" to balance out the mathematical equation?
I highly respects Einstein's stance on Quantum Mechanics. So I don't believe in this. But I'd like to see a more simplified summary so that even clerks, like Einstein, can engage in the discussion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.4.96.72 (talk) 07:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Postulate 1: State of a system                  	A system is completely specified at any one time by a Hilbert space vector.
Postulate 2: Observables of a system            	A measurable quantity corresponds to an operator with eigenvectors spanning the space.
Postulate 3: Observation of a system            	Measuring a system applies the observable's operator to the system and the system collapses into the observed eigenvector.
Postulate 4: Probabilistic result of measurement	The probability of observing an eigenvector is derived from the square of its wavefunction.
Postulate 5: Time evolution of a system         	The way the wavefunction evolves over time is determined by Schrödinger's equation.
I really don't mind what the answer is by the way - its not my table:

Talk:Charles Pinckney

message: I am about to reorder the items, and I would like to explain my logic, because I suspect that otherwise it will be a matter of contention.
Per Wikipedia:Manual of style (disambiguation pages)#Order of entries, the recommended order for items is:
# Articles with a clarifier in parentheses (Anticipation (music))
# Articles with the item as part of the name (Computer keyboard as part of a Keyboard dab page)
This moves Charles Cotesworth Pinckney from first to third.  This same section also reads, “In most cases, place the items in order of usage, with the most-used meanings appearing at the top and less common meanings below.”  This also argues for moving C.C. Pinckney to third:  generally, when a person refers to “Charles Pinckney”, they are more likely to be referring to C.C. Pinckney's father or to Governor Pinckney than to C.C. Pinckney, who is almost always referred to as “Charles Cotesworth Pinckney” or “C.C. Pinckney”.
A simple check of “What links here” suffices to show that Charles Pinckney (governor) should precede Charles Pinckney (South Carolina chief justice).

Talk:List of countries by system of government

message: I moved green republics out of "Parliamentary republics" category, because they're not all parliamentary, but new category "Republics with an executive head of state" should include presidential republics.
For comparison with Duverger's systems: https://doi.org/10.1057%2Fpalgrave.fp.8200087
Chief executive survival       	Chief executive origin	Chief executive origin
Chief executive survival       	From assembly majority	From electorate
Fused with assembly majority   	                      	
Separate from assembly majority	                      	
Highlighted cells, top left and bottom right are pure systems. Non-highlighted cells are true hybrids.
All these systems are single executive systems. Distinction between red, orange, and green is whether ceremonial head of state is elected ceremonial, unelected ceremonial, or parliamentary executive. This seems to be less important distinction than origin and survival of chief executive. Instead I think categories could be following (note 2 new colors for true hybrids split from green):
Parliamentary systems:
Presidential system:
Hybrid systems:
Other systems:

Talk:Electrostatics

message: I read the citation regarding electrostatics "polarizing a molecule." I am anxious to learn new things. I found that the citation from Ling, et al, is widely used in many internet articles.  But I do not find any scholarly university articles that use the terminology of electrostatics "polarizing a molecule" but rather I see other wording regarding electron charges and charging an object. I can not personally (yet) accept that the molecules in the cat's fur are being polarized.  Similarly, I can not (yet) accept that the molecules of my painted gypsum ceiling are being polarized by a charged balloon.  Or that the silicon molecules in a glass rod are being polarized by rubbing with silk or wool.  Electric charge, potentials, etc, I do understand.  I just think that we are looking at a surface charge and effect, a macroscopic effect, rather than a quantum effect of clouds of electrons surrounding the organic molecules making up the cat's fur.
respectfully, and willing to learn.

Wikipedia talk:Protection log/Archive 1

message: I guess it's possible to auto-generate a Wikipedia:Currently protected pages page either by analysing this page or by querying the database. This page is not that readable from that perspective. This page would be more accurate than the hand-created list at Wikipedia:Protected page. Not a high priority perhaps, but would certainly feature on the "nice to have, and wouldn't wallop the db too much" section of the feature wishlist. Pete 16:02, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: This is something that can be done using SQL but it is fairly database intensive so shouldn't be overused. Personally, I prefer the hand-created at Wikipedia:Protected page because there you get a reason for something having been protected. Without that, you don't know whether the protection was just accidental, and how long you should wait before unprotecting it. I ran such a query recently and found 39 articles not listed on Wikipedia:Protected page. Without any way of knowing whether they supposed to be protected, I unprotected them, and Martin did the same with the 15 sysop pages that had no reason presented. Angela 18:23, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the info, Angela. I appreciate that SQL queries should be used sparingly. I guess what I was thinking out loud was that if this log gets auto-updated everytime someone (un)protects something, as appears to happen, the same could happen for a protected page list page.. i.e. on a sysop hitting "protect page" a line gets added to the end of this page (and a message from the protecting-sysop added to the page, as here, which would go a good way to addressing your second concern). On a sysop hitting "unprotect page", the page gets parsed and the newly-unprotected page removed. Keeping the page continuously up-to-date in this way is not database-intensive... the only remotely time-consuming operation is to search a list of protected pages for a particular protected page. This would be quick compared with your SQL query which was probably something like FROM (ALL_ARTICLES) SELECT (PROTECTED_FLAG=1) which involves running over all articles in the database and being slow.

message: I have rewritten the article so it not false, "operating environments" certainly includes command-line interfaces and may possibly mean only environments that are the basic environment of or are integrated with the operating system.

However, common usage and the reasonable meaning of the constituent words would indicate that it is the basic environment in which the user operates, which would include, for example, the desktop environment that a default Linux installation might pop-up and the average user will use. -- Centrx 20:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The desktop environment article is more focused on Unix-like operating systems, and that terminology refers to a component of Windows 95 and its successors.
