The 𝑺𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒔 𝑌(θ,φ) satisfy the angular part of Laplace's Equation.
They are the basis functions for a "Fourier Expansion on a sphere"
The 𝑃_lm are the associated Legendre Functionspic.twitter.com/yfQgnoeH8I

The spherical harmonics 𝑌(θ,φ) are the reason why the electron orbitals have the shape they do.
Go ahead, plot them for different quantum numbers (ℓ,𝑚) !
Here I've plotted the probability density for (3,1)pic.twitter.com/JH4S4b8QzR

For me the mystery is in the presence of the Hodge dual: double Hodge dual harmonic Maxwell-Faraday field: *d*F=j written as delta F=j
