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
@floridaswamptrash I’m happy for you
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.
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
Because it doesn't make sense
Or its counter intuitive
id imagine it does when you have it explained by a professor
because things online aren’t always explained in the best ways
Yeah, but it really doesn't make sense some times.
Like, I understand what they say, but it just doesn't seem logical.
yeah i find string theory and the fractal dimension very confusing
and then string theory also ties in to M theory which i dont even know what that is at the moment
but imo quantum physics is to complex for me to become a quantum physicist so im just gonna stick to software engineering
