What do you mean by highly accurate equipment, since it can only be made of atoms and if we are going to measure the properties of another type of atoms with the equipment we can only expect a limited accuracy. Just like if we were to measure the diameter of a ball by using other similar balls...
OK, but different outcomes can be understood easily if we understand that quantum mechanics is statistical, just like classical statistical mechanics. But no body says that nature is probabilistic/indeterministic classically, it is understood that due to high degrees of freedom we cannot solve...
OK, What I'm trying to convey is, random walk problem has intrinsic uncertainty(probability) in it(the step taken at any particular point is independent of every variable i.e. intrinsic).
And therefore the dispersion(N.p.q) of the steps is proportional to the number of steps taken, whereas in...
Nice reply, thanks.
But how does one conclude that measurements were precise, just because one can have a value for the measurements does not conclusively validate the measurement is precise. Because one can always assume that the dispersion of the different measurements is a consequence of...
I think a good example of stacking of uncertainty can be seen by looking at the random walk problem. The dispersion of the steps(variance) is proportional to the number of steps taken(= N.p.q) since there is intrinsic uncertainty(probability) of taking steps in right or left.
Is it "even in...
Hello friends,
Most people that I heard put uncertainty as an intrinsic property of the universe which is evident when we make a measurement. But to me it seems that intrinsic property and making a measurement are two entirely different things.
If uncertainty were to be just(purely)...
