It holds that quantum mechanics does not yield a description of an objective reality but deals only with probabilities of observing, or measuring, various aspects of energy quanta, entities which fit neither the classical idea of particles nor the classical idea of waves.

# The quantum mechanical description of large systems will closely approximate the classical description.

The first step is the realization that classical mechanics and Newton's law of gravity admit of a geometric description.

A classical description can be given in a fairly direct way by a phase space model of mechanics: states are points in a symplectic phase space, observables are real-valued functions on it, time evolution is given by a one-parameter group of symplectic transformations of the phase space, and physical symmetries are realized by symplectic transformations.

In the codex's description of the first meeting between Moctezuma and Cortés, the Aztec ruler is described as giving a prepared speech in classical oratorial Nahuatl, a speech which as described verbatim in the codex ( written by Sahagún's Tlatelolcan informants who were probably not eyewitnesses of the meeting ) included such prostrate declarations of divine or near-divine admiration as, " You have graciously come on earth, you have graciously approached your water, your high place of Mexico, you have come down to your mat, your throne, which I have briefly kept for you, I who used to keep it for you ," and, " You have graciously arrived, you have known pain, you have known weariness, now come on earth, take your rest, enter into your palace, rest your limbs ; may our lords come on earth.

Most optical phenomena can be accounted for using the classical electromagnetic description of light.

The effect was impossible to understand in terms of the classical wave description of light, as the energy of the emitted electrons did not depend on the intensity of the incident radiation.

In the classical description, this alignment can be understood to occur due to a torque being provided on the magnetic moments by an applied field, which tries to align the dipoles parallel to the applied field.

A quantum-mechanical description of the classical system can also be constructed from the action of the system by means of the path integral formulation.

In the " low-energy limit ", the quantum field-theoretic description of the electromagnetic field, quantum electrodynamics, does not exactly reduce to James Clerk Maxwell's 1864 theory of classical electrodynamics.

( More technically, when does the actual quantum state stop being a linear combination of states, each of which resembles different classical states, and instead begins to have a unique classical description?

Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic bulk properties of materials that can be observed in everyday life, therefore explaining thermodynamics as a result of classical and quantum-mechanical description of statistics and mechanics at the microscopic level.

However, it can still be explained using a fully classical description of light, as long as matter is quantum mechanical in nature.

The above reflects a classical, functional description of how we work as cognitive, thinking systems.

In classical descriptions, an equivalent description of this mental faculty is eikasia, in the philosophy of Plato.

He believed quantum theory offers a complete description of nature, albeit one that is simply ill suited for everyday experiences – which are better described by classical mechanics and probability.

Social Capital Theory gained importance through the integration of classical sociological theory with the description of an intangible form of capital.

" These uncertainty relations give us that measure of freedom from the limitations of classical concepts which is necessary for a consistent description of atomic processes.

) A qualitative description leading to Ohm's law can be based upon classical mechanics using the Drude model developed by Paul Drude in 1900.

If a man lived a classical life, he need not fear the spirits -- for only lack of virtue gave the spirits power over him.

Despite complaining of his lack of a formal classical education, Dürer was greatly interested in intellectual matters and learned much from his boyhood friend Willibald Pirckheimer, whom he no doubt consulted on the content of many of his images.

These definitions lack precision: in particular the boundary between the classical objects and the scattered disk remains blurred.

" Regular " was a term of approval, implying symmetry and adherence to classical rules: the lack of symmetry, where Georgian additions were added to earlier structures, was deeply felt as a flaw.

Many reasons have been cited for the obscurity of Western classical music in India, a country rich in its musical heritage by its own right, however the two main reasons are an utter lack of exposure and a passive disinterest in what is considered esoteric at best.

Many attempts to popularize Western classical music in India have failed in the past due to disinterest and lack of sustained efforts.

In the West, learning by ear is associated with traditional and folk music, but many classical music forms throughout the world lack notation, and have therefore been passed from generation to generation by ear.

There is a lack of experimental evidence relating to quantum gravity, and classical physics adequately describes the observed effects of gravity over a range of 50 orders of magnitude of mass, i. e., for masses of objects from about 10 < sup >− 23 </ sup > to 10 < sup > 30 </ sup > kg.

The DNA typing leaves no room for doubt in this matter, and the numerous other hypotheses of the grape's origin which have been forwarded during the years all completely lack support in the form of documentary evidence or ampelographic investigations, be it by methods of classical botany or DNA.

" Contralto " is meaningful only in reference to classical and operatic singing, as other genres lack a system of vocal categorization comparable to that generally accepted in the classical context.

If Neoclassical painting suffered from a lack of ancient models, Neoclassical sculpture tended to suffer from an excess of them, although examples of actual Greek sculpture of the " classical period " beginning in about 500 BC were then very few ; the most highly regarded works were mostly Roman copies.

His numerous editions of classical authors lack originality and critical judgment, but were valuable at the time because they summarised earlier scholarship for the benefit of the student.

Many excavates lack ' classical ' mitochondria-these organisms are often referred to as ' amitochondriate ', although most, perhaps all, retain a mitochondrial organelle in greatly modified form.

In the field of classical studies, it often refers to the deduction from the lack of references to a subject in the available writings of an author to the conclusion that he was ignorant of it.

In 1862, he began to attend lectures in mathematics, physics and astronomy at the University in his city of birth, although he was not qualified to be enrolled as a regular student in part because of his lack of education in classical languages.

There is no lack of virtuoso performers in the Chinese classical tradition in Malaysia.

Reading: Thoreau discusses the benefits of classical literature ( preferably in the original Greek or Latin ), and bemoans the lack of sophistication in Concord, evident in the popularity of unsophisticated literature.

The nudity can be explained by David's refusal to wear armor in his confrontation with Goliath, as well as by references to classical heroes, but the fact that he wears a hat and boots makes no sense in terms of either the Biblical narrative or the classical connection and tends to make his lack of clothing seem strange.

Bishop described what he perceived as a lack of meaning in classical mathematics, a condition he described both as " schizophrenia " and a " debasement of meaning ", and expressed the sentiment in 1968 that its demise is " very possible ".

Because of this, classical Arab and Persian poets around 1 CE referred to someone's lack of generosity by saying that the person's hand made " ninety-three ".

In the 1970s, The New Ecological Paradigm ( NEP ) conception critiqued the claimed lack of human-environmental focus in the classical sociologists and the Sociological priorities their followers created.

With sitar legend Ravi Shankar and other leading figures of Indian classical music and literature, Singh voiced his concerns over politicisation of arts and culture in India and lack of support experienced by the practitioners of India's traditional art forms, particularly folk artists and musicians.
