Willieh Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't get how there are over 1000000 views and less than 3000 ratings. NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How watching the partical makes it act differently.[/quote'] According to quantum mechanics, it's always in both states at once (particle and wave), but since we can only observe one state at our level, when we do so, it has to appear as one or the other. Wikipedia "Schrodinger's Cat" if you don't get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 You haven't said why:/ I want a why not a maybe. Entanglement. At the quantum level, you can't mention one state without the other. This isn't speculation; it's fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to get your back up but you're not answering the question I'm asking. I know quantum level sh!t but I don't "why" it decideds to act differently. If it was just a case of us not being able to see it then fine but it does something completetly different; that is what I don't get and that is what I want you to answer.

Dark Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I know, I watched it all. What I meant was, we observed marbles and nothing changed. Electrons are on a microscopic level. Because we decided to add an other object, it changed air pressure, dust formations and dust locations. This greatly affects the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 So by putting something closer too it, the particle stops acting like a wave and starts acting like a marble?

Kagamine Len Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 There are so many unexplained scientific things. I'm 15, and slightly disabled, so I'm in a specialty school (since I was 8, and I didn't do too well in regular schools. Also, it doesn't affect me much, but it can cause a few probs), and I struggled to understand this for a short time, but I got the jist of it. Perhaps Doctor Who can explain? (lol) On a serious note, perhaps the giant perticle accelerator thingy (forgot the name) will explain. And off topic, half my friends were scared of that thing. One of them was shaking 'n' all. But science occasionally takes risks. Scientists thought that one of the nuclear bombs (dunno which) would set the atmosphere alight, but did it? NUU![/random rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
