Re: Is Quantum Mechanics Just a Math Trick?

I don't understand your problem Fishteacher. You say that you accept the result of these experiments, why don't you then accept the theory that explains it as well? If this theory predicts new strange things, either it agrees with reality or it doesn't. Until now it did in all the cases you spoke about (it doesn't for example in the domain where the quantum field theory is applied).
Have you already heard about the teleportation of particles? It has been predicted by the theory and verified by the experience (by my QM professor). You may think it's crazy, but teleportation is just a word, what actually is done is: you take a source that emitts two correlated particles (corelated in a way such that if you know one state you impose the state of the other particle), you then sort of "impose" a state to one particle and therefore the other one will have exactly the state you used to impose the state of the first particle. That means you've got far away exactly the same particle as the one at the start therfore you can say you teleported the particle there, while actually you teleported its state.
there are always such interpretations.

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!
