This is how I understand it: Bohr argued that universe was inherently unpredictable as was the spin of the particle, and it was only based on probabilities. Einstein argued that the spin of the particle was actually always the same, just that our physics is not capable of determining it. But...

"Any modification of the apparatus that can determine which slit a photon passes through destroys the interference pattern,[5] illustrating the complementarity principle: that light (and electrons, etc.) can behave as either particles or waves, but not both at the same time.[8][9][10] However...

No, if a particle is in superposition all it means is that it occupies all the possible states simultaneously but it doesn't mean it will stay like that infinitely long until it is observed by the environment. The wave function of the particle will constantly progresses into new and different...

I know its late but i just this thread now. Anyway, no Schrodinger didn't mean the "thought experiment" seriously. The whole point was to show the absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation. The fact that it is a thought experiment means that it hasn't and can't be conducted. The reason is...

According to Quantum Physics (or at least my understanding of it), when a particle is not observed it doesn't exist in the way one imagines is to be. Instead, it is a wave function with infinite possibilities (sum-over histories by Feynman), and only when observed it takes on a definite state...

I spent the last three days trying to figure this out, and at last i get it, thanks so much kev. But one thing that still puzzles me is the theory of inflation. The speed at which our universe was increasing during that miserable time (the period of inflation) was thousands times the speed of...

if by v you mean velocity, then shouldn't it be v=d/t (velocity = distance/time) as opposed to v=s/t (velocity = speed/time) as velocity is an s (speed) but with direction.

Can you please clarify more on that please? How can he make the whole world travel to future?

So if the universe expands faster than the speed of light and it is not through inflation, what else would expand the space in the universe? and since vacuum in the universe is not absolute vacuum, would a random generation of space defy one of the laws of physics? Matter can not be created nor...

Einstein claims that is impossible for any object (with a mass) to reach the speed of light, however I have many questions that I would appreciate if were answered. To start with, the Largest Hadron Collider can accelerate an electron to a speed equivalent to 99.9999991% of the speed of light...
