The objects depicted in the above animations appear to progress through a series of color shades. This color progression is intended to represent the phase progression of a quantum wave function. The left side of each animation represents the object in three-dimensional space, with the x and y axes respectively running horizontally and vertically. The right side represents the object in spacetime, with the x-axis running horizontally and time running vertically. The horizontal line through each animation represents the x-axis. |
The images immediately above are still frames taken from the animations far above. The following physical variables have been marked on the images:
