Some help required on wave functions / history.

[William Gaatjes]

Hello, i am doing some amateur interest of research on the wave functions / nature of physics. I always had a more of automatic feeling of comfort when looking at nature that way. While having an ackward feeling of discomfort every time i read about the standard model or particle point model. I am trying to make a list of all scientists / physicists / mathematicians who explored wave functions. This to create some clarity.
I could use some help, so thank you in advance for your reply.

I found these names while searching yesterday in random order :

Joseph Fourier.

Louis de Broglie

Erwin Schrodinger.

Milo Wolff.

Carver Mead.

Johan F Prins.

Do any of you people no more physicists/ scientists with respect to wave functions ? I am sure i forgot a few and i am sure there are more that i do not know of. The last 2 names on my short list i just know of since 48 hours to be honest.

EDIT:

When i have enough names, i will change the order of the list to alphabetic.
For now the added name(s) are in cursive.

Fourier did a lot of early work that was initially used to solve the heat equation.

For related search terms, look up solutions to partial differential equations. Seems like the wiki has plenty to go off:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

Fourier/Laplace analysis is also used extensively in modern day science and engineering.

Thank you.

I will add it to the list in the first post.
It will be something future interested physicists/scientists/mathematicians can sink their teeth in. ^_^

Credit to Wikipedia for helping me find their names!

think about this question for a while.

We do objects shed energy "tempature" in the vaccum of space.

EMF perturbation caused by virtual particles make the system's hamiltonian time-dependent and instable wrt remaining in elevated (>ZPE) energy levels.

Ahh but not all sources that are hot emit light.

Let me know when cern finds the gravity particle.

We shall both be dead becuase it won't happen.

Wave thoerys don't explain WHY waves occur.

blackbody radiation occurs for all things composed of regular matter

decay from any excited state to the ground state is simply a matter of time

Wave theory doesn't claim the waves exist...

Wave's are a mathematical construct intended to merely convey a sense of the probability distribution that represents the liklihood of observing a system in a particular state.

A wave function or wavefunction is a mathematical tool used in quantum mechanics. It is a function typically of space or momentum or spin and possibly of time that returns the probability amplitude of a position or momentum for a subatomic particle. Mathematically, it is a function from a space that maps the possible states of the system into the complex numbers.

I am patently aware of the drop in energy levels. The question is Why does the energy go anywhere. What in the nature of the universe attracts this energy away from the source that contains it.

Wave thoery absolutely claims waves exist. Hence the thoery.
