so when we dont look its one way and when we do look its the other way
I think that sort of stuff states that if you don’t observe it’s just kind of up in the air
Double slit doesn’t have to do with light specifically
Like it’s neither
idk
im more interested int he boats going over the curve or not lol
u guys got photoshop ?
That’s Schroedinger’s cat, Red
Oof
Double slit just states that the act of observing must change the event being observed
I slept through all my classes but history
so light is either a particle or wave depending on if we observe it or not ok
thats what i thought
Apparently people have done the double slit experiment and gotten the same results with C60, aka buckminsterfullerene. That's 60 carbon atoms!
Per molecule
idk what that means
I think we should perhaps look more into the medium light is travelling through rather than light itself
The earth is flat
But my b*tch aint
Thanks man
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.
C60 has a lot of mass
i dont believe in that shrodingers cat thing
thats a theory right ?
or is that even science sounded more like philosophy when i heard it
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).
I think he then realised that he couldn't actually disprove it.
yeah schrodingers cat isnt falsifiable
in the experiment schrodinger's cat is both dead and alive at the same time
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.
Don't quote me on that though.
i thought it was his interpretation of quantum physics or something
nvm i searched up on google and i got this
“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.”
It's as important to quantum mechanics as F=ma is to Newtonian physics
Apparently anyway.
i dont really know anything about quantum physics i just read about it
like i just read about string theory because i think its awesome
Same, but it pisses me off when I read it
