Why does this whole quantum entanglement thing impress anybody?
When you look at articles in the lay press, they tell you that there is an "instantaneous" communication from one particle to another. But as these posts clearly show, there is no communication involved at all. There is just this...
Has the slit experiment ever been done with observed electrons? I'm looking for a web reference for such a foundational experiment.
I have found this experiment:
Controlled double-slit electron diffraction
Roger Bach 1,3 , Damian Pope 2 , Sy-Hwang Liou 1
and Herman Batelaan
New Journal of...
Has anyone ever actually done this experiment where you shoot electrons through 2 slits and if you observe the electrons, it eliminates the diffraction pattern?
Considering the technical difficulty of doing this, I don't think it has actually ever been done. This would mean this has only been a...
Yeah, you better believe that statement is too strong. That's why I like to call people on that when they make such defeatist statements. Your answer may be the best current answer, but that doesn't mean it isn't a lame answer still.
The idea that speed increases physical travel length which then contributes to dilation effects isn't my idea. See "Simple inference of time dilation due to relative velocity"

When considering anything that "measures" time, one must consider...
If we have a sea of particles, I would imagine that 'nothing' exists between those particles. I don't see how this is a problem. I suppose space could be considered on two levels. On one level, we have space composed of matter particles - "the poselectron sea". At another level we have space as...
You state quite accurately that no one knows what space,time,mass,energy, gravity or dark energy is.
Isn't this a rather pathentic state for physics to be in? With billions going towards fancy accelerator and neutrino experiments, you'd think we'd have the basics down. These are very...
It sounds like you want to know what "substance" space is made up of. Officially, it's made out of nothing as there is no 'aether'. However, they also say that space is filled with Higgs particles or virtual particles or vacuum energy. It certainly doesn't sound like 'nothing'.
It would be...
