Demiurge's latest activity
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.These correlations strongly defy classical physics and undermine confidence in classical physics as being fundamental. As your senses...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.This is not an explanation but a description.
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.What you are asking shouldn't possibly exist in a classical-physics universe. But science hasn't settled on a particular interpretation...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.The wavefunction is real in a very specific way - we lack the appropriate organs to access it directly but it lives in a world of its...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Quantum physics raises measurement as central. And possibly fundamental. Not "matter"(whatever it is). Or energy. They come later.
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Energy is not the ability to do work in quantum physics but the property to change how states change over time. Measurement gives...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.I also have this uneasy feeling calling matter a form of energy or condensed energy. It is not terribly too far off though...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.You were replying to this, which concerns interpretative issues of quantum physics:
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Kind of. It is interpretation of physics.
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Yes, I know this classical perspective. I think everyone agrees with it. If someone were to ask what is more fundamental, things would...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Electromagnetic radiation is energy. And is not a property of matter. Whatever matter is, calling energy a property of matter might be...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Undergrad What is matter?.Before a measurement though, what is energy a property of?
-
DFrom the point of view of quantum physics... Could physicists agree what matter is? We see it, we describe it yet it resists intuitive...
-
DDemiurge replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.If 'real' means to be perceived, then - No. The wavefunction is not real
