![]() If you haven't read about this you should. I fear too that a great many of us shall pass on from this mortal coil with very little more clarity than our generation has now. Like megalithic construction (apologies for the severe deviation off topic for the anology) it seems to me that the underlying rules that govern this quantum level were all devised on the most difficult of methods, when easier methods must surly have been available. And that my learned friends, is how in all of the multitudes of preexisting theories on "how it all works" is WHY is it like this. What i can say with uncredited certainty is that the world/universe /dimension we live in and the laws that we futilely attempt to pin down to reassure our collective selves that we have at least some basic understanding of how it all works is likely to be only 50% of what we need to understand. The only frustration for me, is that the answer to your as well as the general clarity of this, to be frank, completely bonkers conundrum seem to get further away, the closer we attempt to get to the truth. Your points, while detailed with some much needed jocularity raised some interesting questions. Your delivery above while lacking the weight of more technical reference points, was completed, in my eyes perfectly. While I too enjoyed the amiable discussions above and yet they did have an undercurrent of physical harm should the point be pursued any further. Here is something you all can discuss - why is it that the english language has one word that means two different things? For example the word watch why not take the definition that came second and give it its own word? Seriously I had a pretty good generic understanding of the double slit thingamabob until i decided to read the comments here now i cant hit a three pointer unless nobody is watching. ![]() ![]() Now im starting to wonder is it physics thats hard to understand or is it more like physics is hard to explain maybe we need to assign words more meanings then we can just make everything make sense a great example is the dollar - we all know the dollar isnt worth shit or hasnt when our genious money people decided to stop backing it with gold so in essense they said the dollar is worth this much because we said and no matter how many equations and big words you want to use to try and prove me wrong it dont matter because when it comes down to it paper is paper. Im no larry bird but it's intresting to read the comments here each one has a reply stating how the previous comment is incorrect. For a more detailed, but still reasonably gentle, introduction to quantum mechanics, read Schrödinger's equation - what is it?.For a gentle introduction to quantum mechanics, read A ridiculously short introduction to some very basic quantum mechanics.For an extremely gentle introduction to some of the strange aspects of quantum mechanics, read Watch and learn.The question of exactly how that happens constitutes the measurement problem of quantum mechanics. It also suggests that the act of observing, of measuring, a quantum system has a profound effect on the system. That's the famous wave particle duality of quantum mechanics. What does the experiment tell us? It suggests that what we call "particles", such as electrons, somehow combine characteristics of particles and characteristics of waves. It's as if they knew they were being spied on and decided not to be caught in the act of performing weird quantum shenanigans. Looking makes sure that the electrons travel like well-behaved Particle pattern of two strips, as seen in the first picture above! The interference pattern disappears. You do that, then the pattern on the detector screen turns into the To find out, you might place a detector by the slits, to see which Interferes with itself, and then recombines to meet the second screen as a single, localised particle? Strangely, each individual electron contributes one dot to an overall pattern that looks like the interference pattern of a wave.īe that each electrons somehow splits, passes through both slits at once, Remains even when you fire the electrons one by one, so that they have One possibility might be that the electrons somehow interfere with each other, so they don't arrive in the same places they would if they were alone.
