... the more you see how strangely Nature behaves, the harder it is to make a model that explains how even the simplest phenomena actually work. So theoretical physics has given up on that. (Feynman) In fact Nature behaves in a very sensible and logical way (which explains why mathematica...
there have been disagreements about "interpretations," misunderstandings about the underlying "reality" of the external world that could account for the apparent agreement between quantum theory and the observed experimental facts, without abandoning the classical physics ideas of continuity, causality, and...
School-level physics tells us that if you give an atom energy, you can "excite" it: you can boost an electron inside it to a higher energy level. When the electron returns to a lower level, the atom emits a photon of light with the same energy that the atom originally absorbed. The...
The same goes for “particle” interactions in particle physics, which by definition have 𝑁>1N>1; the quantum reactions happen in 𝐻∞H∞ while the outcomes happen in 𝐿4L4, and then only as a result of the “Born rule”. In the canonical two-slit experiment (e.g., using a ...
Classical physics expects a diffraction pattern on the screen, and that is what actually happens. But if the intensity of the laser beam is turned down so that individual photons are sent through the slits one at the time, eventually the same diffraction pattern appears, as if interference ...
Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.
Can it even be well defined or must one conclude that these processes are not amenable to causal explanation at all, or that all that can be discussed is signalling between the nodes? Our idea is that such processes can be understood in causal terms, if the framework of quantum causal ...
