The Feynman "path integral formulation"-interpretation of the problem states that the photon takes every possible path. Letting the particle go through both slits at the same time creating interference maybe could be used to "explain" the pattern. Alright, in that case I understand. My...

Sorry, my explanation of the "slit wall" wasn't very precise. I mean the space between the two gaps/slits. If you perform the single photon experiment, how can the beam size be bigger than the "slit wall"? The photon seems to go through both slits at the same time. I just can't imagine...

If you send a photon towards some wall it will bounce back (or in some cases be absorbed), why don't the photons bounce back if you shoot photons at the middle of the double slit experiment? Do the photons have to be released at "random", and not in the middle? How's the experiment performed...

Alright, but has it been proven that all possible measurement techniques will result in that situation?

So they just found out that they couldn't measure the position and the velocity at the same time and later came to the conclusion that it's impossible? (it's a strong word). And what's the "same time", wouldn't it be possible to approximate the speed/position if they measure speed and...

Thanks, I'll read section 4. If it's a fundamental aspect of reality, how did they arrive at that conclusion?

If I remember correct, some quantum mechanic principle says that you can't know the position of a particle at the same time as its velocity. Why's that? And what about the double-slit experiment where you send photons and they go through both slits at the same time and create an interference...

Sure, in the US doctors dentists etc might earn that much. But at least here in Sweden they usually earn about 6*10^4 $ (excl tax). Ok, maybe 10^5 right now because of the low value of the USD. Scientists and engineers earn a lot less. You can easily earn more than 10^5 if you own stocks and...

I study Engineering Physics and there are plenty of master's programmes to choose from. I'm primarily thinking about selecting "Nanoscale Science and Tech", "Applied Physics" or "Engineering Mathematics" or possibly switching to economics after the B.Sc. Has anyone any experience from these...

I think people work harder for less than that kind of money. People who earn that much don't work themselves, usually. They earn money from the work others do for them. If you own a factory you can easily make 100 people collect that money for you. I never heard of people making 6figures...

Thanks, that works great! I also found this latex guide https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/

Homework Statement a. How do I write vectors bold within displaymath and frac. I want Phi, r and r_1 bold. But get G M_1 bold as well = bad. b. How do I use arrows instead of the bold notation? The Attempt at a Solution \begin{displaymath} a1. textbf{\Phi(r)} = -\frac{G M_1}{|...

Thanks for your reply I think it solved the problem.

Hello, this is my situation: I've got some data from an experiment stored in matlab. So I plot the graph and get a x^2 curve. I plot the loglog graph and see a near-"perfect" line. Now I want to create the best approximation to it (in a least squares sense). I don't want to do that...
