Re: Instantaneous travel of macroscopic objects?

if i understand the original question correctly then i dont think we need space time curves, altering c or whatever (it is fun though ) The only thing we need is the quantum wave

the problem with the discontinuity on the planck scale only applies to a measurement of the particle. as soon as the particle is unperturbed, the wave function (describing the probability to find the particle anywhere) is spread out over space (due to the uncertainty effect). and it might move, or whatever, but the point is, it is completely continuous, onlyt when a measurement or interaction is made, the wave function collapses and feels the discontinuity of space.

i think i'm very tired and after writing the above down, i'm not completely sure anymore...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
