it can explain almost everything, it just cant predict all outcomes

2019-10-28 09:30:17 UTC  

basically we need better resolution at smaller scales to really see what's happening. qm is predictive, but not an exact model of reality.

2019-10-28 09:30:23 UTC  

the biggest problem is QM treats time and space as absolute, when we know theyre not

2019-10-28 09:30:26 UTC  

theyre emergent

2019-10-28 09:30:57 UTC  

we dont need better resolution.... QM is an exact model of reality or very close

2019-10-28 09:31:04 UTC  

We don't really go smaller anymore. We get more abstract to account for different cases and observations.

2019-10-28 09:31:08 UTC  

yeah VERY close.

2019-10-28 09:31:12 UTC  

the fuzziness of quantum predictions is a consequence of our inability to measure exact quantum states

2019-10-28 09:31:24 UTC  

and the reason we cant is because there's no operator for them

2019-10-28 09:31:46 UTC  

das tru

2019-10-28 09:31:48 UTC  

an operator is a hermitian matrix you can multiply the wavefunction by to obtain a measurement

2019-10-28 09:32:02 UTC  

das rite

2019-10-28 09:32:02 UTC  

hermitian is a fancy way of saying symmetric matrix when the matrixes are complex valued

2019-10-28 09:32:07 UTC  

tru

2019-10-28 09:32:19 UTC  

yes.

2019-10-28 09:32:27 UTC  

W = wavefunction, P = position operator. WxP = observed position of particle

2019-10-28 09:32:36 UTC  

uhuh

2019-10-28 09:32:46 UTC  

The reason we have uncertainty principle is because matrixes dont always commute

2019-10-28 09:33:05 UTC  

meaning that W x P x M != W x M x P (M = momentum operator)

2019-10-28 09:33:10 UTC  

What is the result of a quantum calculation?

2019-10-28 09:33:12 UTC  

WPM != WMP

2019-10-28 09:33:33 UTC  

Like what kind of thing do you get?

2019-10-28 09:33:40 UTC  

a quantum calculation is just multipying complex valued matrices

2019-10-28 09:33:43 UTC  

and you get a number

2019-10-28 09:33:44 UTC  

bait a likelihood

2019-10-28 09:33:49 UTC  

i honestly believe if we could slow down time enough we could see quantum jumping in action. it's just too fast for us to measure. hence the resolution issue again. i think my brain is way too ingrained with the classical model. I feel there needs to be a progression, that it doesn't just go *poof* and the particle has changed state.

2019-10-28 09:33:50 UTC  

a probability

2019-10-28 09:33:57 UTC  

of observing the particle at that location

2019-10-28 09:34:29 UTC  

Here's what I think.... the jumping is all there is because time isnt continuous

2019-10-28 09:34:30 UTC  

if it more than half . its 1

2019-10-28 09:34:44 UTC  

jew physics

2019-10-28 09:34:45 UTC  

what we perceive as time is just the connectedness of different possible configurations

2019-10-28 09:35:00 UTC  

in the Hilbert space

2019-10-28 09:35:21 UTC  

picture all possible configurations laid out in a grid

2019-10-28 09:35:26 UTC  

yeah i can kind of imagine pockets where time curves around it or something. so we can't see the intermediate state. i dunno.

2019-10-28 09:35:28 UTC  

uhuh

2019-10-28 09:35:29 UTC  

connected by how many differences each configuration has

2019-10-28 09:36:01 UTC  

yes theres intermediate states that can never be observed those are virtual particles in a feynman diagram

2019-10-28 09:36:06 UTC  

`quantum judaism`

2019-10-28 09:36:23 UTC  

honestly if jews stick to STEM im happy for them
