Right. The people (at national standards labs) who determine the actual frequency have to estimate the effect that the non-zero temperature has on the atoms, both for the atoms themselves and the blackbody radiation from the surroundings. (As well as electric and magnetic fields, gravitational potential, and other effects)

Do you want to find the average speed, or the average of the square of the speed, in order to find the energy?

Not zero. This articles has one measurement at 8 femtoseconds http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/29/science/smile-electron-fast-camera-captures-action-around-atom.html

Then you should be able to work through this. What principle do you apply to this sort of problem?

! Moderator Note Your keen common sense should direct you to follow the rules of the forum. That is, you respond with mainstream science rather than your own pet theories. The only place to discuss personal theories is in their own thread in speculations. You are not being held to a higher standard than anyone else is. ! Moderator Note The above applies to you, too. If you have some alternate explanation to explore, please do it in speculations.

This is homework help, not the "do the homework for you" section. How would you normally approach solving an object on an inclined plane problem?

That particular test may not have been done; it's a thought experiment. Thousands of experiments have been done that show the general relationships are correct. You can do some of them yourself if you have some basic equipment or you take the right physics class. Personally I'm not a fan of the explanation you keep citing. The video in http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/87347-why-hidden-variables-dont-work/ does a much better job explaining Bell inequalities and entanglement.

In a way it is a competing school of thought. Zero motion is based in classical physics, while zero-point in quantum. People citing zero motion are likely looking at classical thermodynamics.

What work have you done so far?

That's the introductory explanation, yes.

I don't think you will get validation, because of there was some effect that happened only in one interpretation, we wouldn't have multiple interpretations.

When you detect the electron.

And localized. Even though a wave can have a large extent, an interaction can take place in a much smaller space.

The electrons are further from the protons than the protons are from each other. The possibility of confinement by external charges aside (Earnshaw's theorem may apply here), a quantitative look at the electrostatics immediately dismisses this notion. It's not an allowed state in QM. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle bears this out — if we knew the electron was near the proton, it's uncertainty in momentum tells us it couldn't stay there. Bottom line is the electron is a wave. Simply looking at this classically won't work.

Why?

Watch a baseball game sometime. Especially if the pitcher throws a knuckleball.

It's sin or cos depending on which axis you reference. Because that's how trig works.

Trigonometry

A viewpoint, which was irrelevant to the claim.

I'm a little of both, but what I'm not is clairvoyant, so I can't tell what you're doing in the video. I see twiddling of something on a panel and pan/tilt adjustments, but it's less informative than an unlabeled graph.

But that is a correlation. So it's a bad example of having no correlation. Go after criminals? Gosh, why didn't anyone think of that before? Still waiting for actual evidence that "criminals are poor because they have a problem with working for a living."

What's that now? According to me? I don't think so.

! Moderator Note There is no scientific discussion in the video, so there's really no basis for discussion. The "effects" seem to be screen grabs of unexplained computer manipulation. The topic can be discussed, and if there are issues where you have some technical information to present, you can bring those up.
