math no make sense
lol yeah solving for circumference and solving schrodinger's equations is like 1 + 1 compared to advanced calculus
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...
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.
