Think math is hard? Give quantum physics a try it’s like math and physics but it’s so confusing

It’s funny cause that’s math but there no numbers in it

That’s called P A I N

Pi is circumference divided by diameter

Avatar of M1m1c15
Yes I’m aware
Avatar of mantine73

It's also area divided by the square root of the radius

@mantine73 look man you don’t gotta flex your basic pi knowledge on us, we don’t really care

What about elementary particles

I agree with M1m1c15. Quantum mechanics is super hard. Try solving Schrödinger’s equations.

lol yeah solving for circumference and solving schrodinger's equations is like 1 + 1 compared to advanced calculus

Advanced calculus is easier for me but okay

Quantum physics is advanced calculus based
Avatar of M1m1c15
Also schrodingers equations involves things that are 2 things at once sorta doubt advanced calculus is hard since quantum physics is calculus based, correct me if I’m wrong tho, haven’t done schrodingers stuff in a while

Correct, though textbook advanced calculus is easier for me, that’s what I mean.

Ah yes, that makes sense

Who is Schrodinger and why did he mail a cat

Avatar of M1m1c15
He didn’t mail a cat he thought an experiment where if he put a cat in a box and put a piece of uranium in with the cat and something that sends and electric signal to it when it detects radiation, that powers something that kills the cat ( I can’t remember what it was ) and he said that if he didn’t open the box the cat would be both dead and alive, until opened, then it would be randomly decided, this is one of key concepts of quantum physics, and it plays a key role in quantum computing, of course he didn’t actually do this, he just thought about it

What grade are you in? (Just asking cause I wanna know if you are supposed to know pi and radius)

5th

I learned pi and radius in 3rd so I think you should know what it is 

ha! I've never learned pi yet. Although I have learned radius...

Y’all so young on here it’s cute.

Schrödinger’s cat experiment brings up quantum superposition, which is an occurrence in quantum mechanics, when a quantum system exists in multiple states simultaneously. Then the observer effect comes up, essentially the act of observing something (doesn’t even have to be a conscious observer), forces the cat for example, to take on one state- either dead or alive. It’s like wave-particle duality. Photons can behave as both particles and a wave. In the original double slit experiment, in the early 19th century, Thomas Young managed to ascertain that light can behave like a wave, contrary to Newton’s theory of electromagnetic radiation being particles only. He found this when propagating sunlight through two slits onto a screen, and noticing what we now call interference fringes, both constructive and destructive bands. Now suppose we fire single photons through the two slits, onto a screen. The results are the same! We again see the wave interference pattern just like before. This forced us to conclude that the photons must be interacting with themselves, going through both slits at the exact same time, quite counterintuitively. And that is quantum superposition, the photons seems to be in two places at once. The simple act of measuring which slit the single photons go through, collapses the whole experiment and we will see the light behave as particles only. It is as if the particles know when they are being watched- the observer effect. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, which is a specific collection of opinions on quantum mechanics, observing the superposition of paths of a particle corresponds to a measurement that collapses the superposition completely so no interference can be detected. An interesting proposition, to trick the single particles and figure out which slit they are going through, was suggested in the year 1978 by a person named John Archibald Wheeler. The idea was to quantumly entangle the particles, then set one off to hit the screen and the other to a detector. The real trick here is that the detector is placed further back along the screen, meaning it would take longer for the particles to reach it. Somehow, these particles lose their wave-like property, as if they are being influenced by the future. This is known as the delayed choice quantum eraser and the theoretical possibility of retro causality, which is when the effect of a system, precedes its cause.
Quantum mechanics is freaking awesome.

I know no one asked for a whole damn essay but I just love this topic.
