It only goes to show how out of it I've been recently that I forgot to post this. Dirtbaggery Book Reviews invited me for a live chat, which I've shared elsewhere, but I thought it might be good to also link to the explanation of Quantum Mechanics that I mentioned during our talk.
The part I referred to starts around the 7.30 mark.
As I said, this illuminates how our understanding of reality is at odds with Quantum mechanics.
That's all for now, catch you all on the bounce.
Know what wrong with that explanation?
ReplyDeleteNot stated simple idea -- elementary particles -- undestinguishable!
Means, we cannot say where electron A and where electron B.
There is NO labels on em ;-p
Absolutely, it's all about probabilities and the wave function and as Einstein said, wave function collapse is spooky.
DeleteWell... that's just how scientists. And not first grade one. Ones who are on the fringe, ones who popularize science instead of doing it, tried to explain it to us -- general public...
DeleteWhen I tried to dig it more deeply. All is quite different.
That's just now science breakthroughs. No news facts, that would allow to look at it from other side of a coin... ;-)
That is... mostly psychological. As I see it.
ReplyDeleteWhen people talk about QM, it looks like "those eggheads found some rare and unimportant things, and trying to boggle our minds with it."
Though, electrons, atoms quants of light -- they just EVERYWHERE. There is NO "classical matter". It nowhere to be found. And if someone would find a grain of it -- it would be weird.
EVERYTHING is quantum. In and around us. ;-)
