I really am not a physicist so I have no comment on that
@Bogatyr Bogumir is that what you were referring to?
lmao what?
you don't need fucking metaphysics to understand quantum mechanics
you need math
Part of metaphysics talks about the nature of somethings being. The reason things change, universal concrete particulars, etc. Aristotle formulated that in order for something to change, it must have that change already in potential. What we see in quantum mechanics is that a particle has tons of potential states it could be in, but is only ever *actually* one
And we need metaphysics for quantum mechanics to be intelligible, so you are wrong either way
no, thats not what we see in quantum mechanics
the particle exists in multiple locations at once simultaneously until its wave function collapses
now superposition is a little complected. Quantum superposition tells us that we can add two or more quantum states to create another quantum state.
lets use wave interference as an example
If two waves meet, they will either experience constructive or degenerate interference, depending on their direction of displacement
let me find an image
The wave on the bottom could be thought of as a superposition of the two waves above it. Since subatomic particles behave as waves, they follow the same principle
this is demonstrated in the double slit experiment (which I have done myself. Its very easy, all you need is a shitty 1$ laser pointer and a strand of hair or piece of paper!)
@Eoppa Not exactly it has more to do with Aquinas's proof of the prime mover or the unactualised actualizer. And quantumphysics slowly interestingly building into that
@Riley Yes and well there is also the issue of the observer the first potential etc. aristotles proof works very very well with this model.
It is this thing that is the first thing, that we consider god, its actually quite interesting
As far as I know it works to work with the idea that there needs to be something that is actually hlding everything in being, in the here and now, a fundumental force. Without which there is nothing
huh
In order for anything to exist, beyond that waveform something is actualizing everything constantly, allowing them to interact and make things simply exist
...huh
its really cool how these intertwine given the absolute massive timespan and difference in data between aristotle and modern physicists.
........
huh
@Bogatyr Bogumir huh
Huh
@Riley ```The principle of quantum superposition states that if a physical system may be in one of many configurations—arrangements of particles or fields—then the most general state is a combination of all of these possibilities, where the amount in each configuration is specified by a complex number.```
It's not about combining waves
Satan means TRUTH in ancient Vedic Sanskrit, a pre-abrahamic language. https://satanisgod.org
particles do obey wave dynamics tho
because they are waves
brb work
Well obviously, that's wave particle duality, which is a separate, but not unrelated thing
why do I see people discussing science in <#587029563863990282>
Some of you guys are so far up your asses with philosophy that you fail to see logically
