not the stupid cat thing that makes as much sense as infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters

2019-05-01 15:00:12 UTC  

A cat that knocks the front door

2019-05-01 15:00:29 UTC  

so the double slit is specifically if we observe it changes the form light takes

2019-05-01 15:00:44 UTC  

so when we dont look its one way and when we do look its the other way

2019-05-01 15:01:11 UTC  

I think that sort of stuff states that if you don’t observe it’s just kind of up in the air

2019-05-01 15:01:13 UTC  

Double slit doesn’t have to do with light specifically

2019-05-01 15:01:15 UTC  

Like it’s neither

2019-05-01 15:01:24 UTC  

idk

2019-05-01 15:01:34 UTC  

im more interested int he boats going over the curve or not lol

2019-05-01 15:01:52 UTC  

u guys got photoshop ?

2019-05-01 15:01:54 UTC  

That’s Schroedinger’s cat, Red

2019-05-01 15:02:12 UTC  

Oof

2019-05-01 15:02:19 UTC  

Double slit just states that the act of observing must change the event being observed

2019-05-01 15:02:21 UTC  

I slept through all my classes but history

2019-05-01 15:03:24 UTC  

so light is either a particle or wave depending on if we observe it or not ok

2019-05-01 15:03:31 UTC  

thats what i thought

2019-05-01 15:03:33 UTC  

Apparently people have done the double slit experiment and gotten the same results with C60, aka buckminsterfullerene. That's 60 carbon atoms!

2019-05-01 15:04:00 UTC  

Per molecule

2019-05-01 15:04:24 UTC  

idk what that means

2019-05-01 15:05:06 UTC  

I think we should perhaps look more into the medium light is travelling through rather than light itself

2019-05-01 15:05:16 UTC  

The earth is flat

2019-05-01 15:05:33 UTC  
2019-05-01 15:05:35 UTC  

But my b*tch aint

2019-05-01 15:05:45 UTC  

@floridaswamptrash I’m happy for you

2019-05-01 15:06:18 UTC  

Thanks man

2019-05-01 15:07:13 UTC  

Well the interference patterns observed from the double slit experiment show that light and electrons experience wave/particle duality. This can be calculated with the schrodinger equation. Basically the less mass a particle has, the less likely you will be to predict its location.

2019-05-01 15:07:20 UTC  

C60 has a lot of mass

2019-05-01 15:10:26 UTC  

i dont believe in that shrodingers cat thing

2019-05-01 15:10:42 UTC  

thats a theory right ?

2019-05-01 15:12:02 UTC  

or is that even science sounded more like philosophy when i heard it

2019-05-01 15:17:49 UTC  

Apparently Schrodinger's cat is a thought experiment Schrodinger came up with to explain how silly super position is. (a particle being in both states at the same time).

2019-05-01 15:18:17 UTC  

I think he then realised that he couldn't actually disprove it.

2019-05-01 15:22:53 UTC  

yeah schrodingers cat isnt falsifiable

2019-05-01 15:24:23 UTC  

in the experiment schrodinger's cat is both dead and alive at the same time

2019-05-01 15:24:51 UTC  

It's not really a theory itself, more of a predictive model. The schrodinger equations form the basis of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the current scientific consensus for the behaviour of the electromagnetic force. In fact, I don't think there's really a quantum theory that doesn't involve the schrodinger equations in some way.

2019-05-01 15:24:57 UTC  

Don't quote me on that though.

2019-05-01 15:27:27 UTC  

i thought it was his interpretation of quantum physics or something

2019-05-01 15:28:30 UTC  

nvm i searched up on google and i got this

2019-05-01 15:28:34 UTC  

“Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment about quantum physics. Erwin Schrödinger suggested it in 1935, in reaction to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.”

2019-05-01 15:29:57 UTC  

It's as important to quantum mechanics as F=ma is to Newtonian physics

2019-05-01 15:30:11 UTC  

Apparently anyway.
