These wave functions are the atomic orbitals that are so important in chemistry. If you calculate the shapes of the wave functions that satisfy these properties, you get the shapes shown on the Wikipedia page. They are listed in a table indexed by the variables n, l, and m. n corresponds to the energy level, l corresponds to the total angular momentum, and m corresponds to the angular momentum around the z axis. For example, you can see that orbitals with high m (angular momentum around the z axis), like the ones on the very right of the Wikipedia table, are sort of flattened out by the centrifugal force from spinning fast around a vertical axis.
There is such a thing as chance correlation, even in a complete absence of any causation at all. That is the point of the aphorism.
No, that's not the point. Of course if your standards for statistical significance are low enough you will find all sorts of nonsense "correlations." That is not the point. The point is that while there is a very strong correlation between the income of Massachusetts pastors and the price of rum, the pastors are neither financing the rum trade nor profiting off it.
"Inert" has absolutely nothing whatever to do with radioactivity, even though radioactive materials may or may not be inert.
Then the title should have been "Bacteria Used to Make Toxic Metals Inert."
