Talk:Cartesian well

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I don't think René Descartes would have involved himself with anything so practical. He was a mathematician and philosopher, not a hydrological engineer! Should we leave the first definition to clarify a common misconception, or delete it as an error which no-one would make? Does anyone know the exact Quantum Mechanics definition of a Cartesian well, or the derived usage (long after Descartes)in a philosophical context? Dbfirs 23:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Quantum mechanics sense. Not in any of my physics sources. SemperBlotto 07:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a mistake for Artesian well or Artesian spring --EncycloPetey 08:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
