I don't know. I can't afford to study physics at university level as I have neither the time, nor the money.

I am just trying to understand how the universe works. I am not studying physics at the university level. I have read popular physics books that I didn't understand.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I don't understand what space-time is. What is it made of? Isn't space just emptiness? As far as I know, at the speed of light, time stops. How does that work? I am sorry if my questions are silly - they reveal how little I understand!

Well, there is a theory of gravity. Shouldn't there be a theory of time?

Is there any theory of time that makes experimental predictions?

Presentism: This theory posits that only the present moment is real, and the past and future are simply constructs of human consciousness. According to presentism, the past no longer exists, and the future has not yet occurred. Eternalism/Block Universe Theory: This theory suggests that all...

Because I didn't know any better.

I thought atoms would be too big for quantum indeterminacy. I thought it applied only to electrons. I am not a physicist or even studying physics at university. Please clarify which particles are affected by quantum indeterminacy. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I thought quantum indeterminacy applied to electrons instead of entire atoms. Am I incorrect?

How do quantum superposition, indeterminacy, tunnelling, and entanglement affect macroscopic phenomena such as tossing a coin, throwing dice, human thoughts, human emotions, decision-making by humans, the behaviour of other sentient animals, photosynthesis, genetic mutation, the speed of light...

I have not done any search in any literature. I am not a university student. I am just curious about how it works. I have no understanding of this.

Please tell me more. Thank you.

What is the mechanism behind Quantum Entanglement? Why do only subatomic particles exhibit Quantum Entanglement?

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply.

Why do subatomic particles change what they do when observed? Does it matter who is doing the observing? What happens if a non-sentient robot does the observing? How does that compare with a sentient human doing the observing? Thank you.
