Of course, I'm assuming the galaxy's XY plane is the one on which the spiral is located (And that the galaxy has orbitals, which is a bit more far fetched).

Why do you think that the distribution function is coordinate dependent? You can place an electron in whatever eigenstate of orbital angular momentum you'd like in whatever parametrization is most convenient12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

And the point is that arbitrariness. That's a function of the measurement you did to place the electron into its eigenstateOriginally posted by N35t0r View Post12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I don't place electrons mainly to avoid having to measure that.Indifference is BlissComment
