think, if man discovered how to interface or communicate at the quantum level ? it would revolutionize physics engineering computer science in such a way that the future world and the materials used in it will all communicate to each other is a way that any stress in that structure will not only be detected in short order but correct before a failure happens in a bridge or mega building 10 miles tall? it will be the cloud of quantum entanglement and can be made 100% autominious!

[@rodocar2736]

How is it possible that the energy correction contains the fine structure constant? (to the fourth power)
The size of the nucleus has no mathematical relationship with the speed of light. Darwin term has no mathematical relationship with c constant

[@Edruezzi]

Yup, it's that Darwin.

Does p6 orbital (filled) have spin-orbit splitting?

[@starvlingk5122]

all orbitals have spin-orbit splitting its just that many orbital splitting is so small that we might as well approximate at no splitting at all. Spin-orbit strength is correlated with nuclei mass. My rule of thumb is that if the atomic number is greater than 21 assume all orbitals have spin-orbit coupling.

Here because Dr. Suvankar asked me to

[@amoghdesai8550]

Banmay

[@abdonecbishop]

is e ....2.71.....or the charge of an electron

[@sohamsawant6110]

charge

[@glasberabbey6847]

Who can tell me how to do the homework about Darwin Correction, how to calculate the expectation value of the gradient of the potential, thank you very much

Charles Gaston Darwin - I take it this is NOT *the* Charles Darwin, right?

[@andresjaramillofigueroa3025]

Darwin liked doing a little quantum physics during his voyages.

[@danielgv1526]

he was not THE naturalist Charles Darwin... but they were related (he was his grandson). Charles Galton actually did some biophysics stuff at the end of his career.
