Re: Wow, just wow

This stuff we are discussing is called the Copenhagen Interpretation. There are tonnes of "Copenhagen intepretation made simple" articles around. I would recommend reading a few until you find one written in a way you can get your head around

Re: Wow, just wow

so there are no actual particles and waves, then what are they? our imagination?

this is disturbing

hmmm...this gets complicated pretty fast. The QM equations utilize something called the "wavefunction". This describes the thing we are interested in entirely, but it's not something we can measure directly. All we can do is do experiments which allow us to see some parts of it. It's a bit disturbing, i agree, but you get used to it :-)

ok thanks, I'll read some more then

haha it's not the usual music forum discussion that's for sure.Unfortunately I've now outed myself as a nerd, something I have managed to avoid on here for more than a decade

Strangely, Kamal hasn't posted about the quantic theory of the origins of the Universe, with NO Big Bang.

Re: Wow, just wow

are you referring to the theory of colliding multi-dimensional membranes giving birth to multiverses? That's just too far-fetched to make sense of tbh. But in that documentary I posted, I didn't realize they had run the double-slit experiment placing a detector between the double-slit and the back panel causing the electrons to time-travel back and then start behaving as particles.

mind = blown.

though I didn't agree with Alex Filipenko's explanation of photon's altering the particle-wave personality. It just doesn't jive.

Re: Wow, just wow

Yep, mind blown. Now they're questioning the unquestionable. I thought Filippenko was someone PLAYING a scientist on tv, so he's for real?

That theory, yes. It may be sci-fi but wtf!

This too explains Qantum Mechanics pretty wells:

Re: Wow, just wow

Yea Alex Filipenko is a astro-physicist and teacher at UC Berkley, I feel really geeky when I remember scientist's names better than Hollywood actors. I need to lay off the documentaries.

Re: Wow, just wow

I know he is, I was joking, he always uses stupid analogies to explain stuff.

Re: Wow, just wow

this line of research is really promising imo. If we could switch from chemotherapy to targeted drugs like this it would make a huge difference to peoples lives
