Doug Hamilton as a nifty Astronomy Workshop web page, with lots of fun little tools….

I can guess why anyone with limited time might not want to risk editing Wikipedia. The finer the sculpture, the more likely it is to have its nose knocked off by drunken 16-year-old vandals. The “no original research” policy is infinitely regressive. There’s no mechanism to identify authority whatsoever.

You might consider adding a taunting footnote, in hopes that a seasoned warrior will see it and brave the gauntlet.

Not a lot of people know that there is an exact perturbation expansion solution to the three body problem, but it has rather poor convergence…

It isn’t quantum physics that is the oddity, but actually classical physics! The normal teaching of Newtonian physics (at least at low levels) falsely claims/indoctrinates the persistent lie that it allows the positions of the planets to be exactly calculated (determinism) when it does not if you have 3+ bodies, which you do. Richard P. Feynman conceded this in his book QED:

‘when the space through which a photon moves becomes too small (such as the tiny holes in the screen) … we discover that … there are interferences created by the two holes, and so on. The same situation exists with electrons: when seen on a large scale, they travel like particles, on definite paths. But on a small scale, such as inside an atom, the space is so small that … interference becomes very important.’

The interference is due to many vacuum virtual charges:

‘All charges are surrounded by clouds of virtual photons, which spend part of their existence dissociated into fermion-antifermion pairs.’ — I. Levine, D. Koltick, et al., Physical Review Letters, v.78, 1997, no.3, p.424.

The duration and maximum range of these charges is easily estimated: take the energy-time form of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and put in the energy of an electron-positron pair and you find it can exist for ~10^-21 second; the maximum possible range is therefore this time multiplied by c, or 10^-12 metre. This is far enough to deflect electrons but not enough to be observed as vacuum radioactivity. Like Brownian motion, it introduces chaos on small scales, not lare ones:

‘… the Heisenberg formulae can be most naturally interpreted as statistical scatter relations, as I proposed [in the 1934 book 'The Logic of Scientific Discovery']. … There is, therefore, no reason whatever to accept either Heisenberg’s or Bohr’s subjectivist interpretation …’ — Sir Karl R. Popper, Objective Knowledge, Oxford University Press, 1979, p. 303.

The Schroedinger wave equation arises naturally from a sea of particles because we know that you get waves in particle-based fluids: http://feynman137.tripod.com/#b

nuclear physics is inherently quantum mechanical, so you can’t get away with using the cold determinism of classical mechanics and hope to get answers corresponding to what experimentalists observe–you run into all sorts of odd probleems having to do with the indistinguishability of particles inside the nucleus, as well as the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
