    Graduate What Happens to Schrodinger's Cat When Measuring an Entangled Atom?

    I'm not going to pretend i know everything about quantum theory nor even part of it. All I have is a incomplete basis of how things work. Please try to bare with me as I describe my gedankenexperiment. Suppose we have the usual set up of Schrödinger's cat, A cat in a box that might be either...

    Graduate How does quantum computing work?

    Thank you i will definitely take a look at it!

    Graduate How does quantum computing work?

    how is it that we are able to get atoms to work like bits? and what is their counting system? because simply counting in 1's and 0's doesn't seem to make so much sense when electrons can be doing any number of things when they are not being observed. i recently watched this but it didnt...

    High School Coolant & Fridge Cooling Explained - Can Anyone Help?

    so if i get what everyone is saying, Freon is compressed intro a liquid, and forced through a tube which makes it lose energy, and then it is forced again through a grate of some sort to vaporize it without heating it up, which causes it to cool down even more because the molecules are farther...

    High School Coolant & Fridge Cooling Explained - Can Anyone Help?

    How does the cooling mechanism work in fridges? From what i have heard, it works by compressing frion and pushing it through a tube, because of the pressure and moving it through a tube it cools down. It still doesn't make sense can anyone help?

    If a + b + c = 0, then show that

    No no, i mean, solve the other given equations using things like a+b=-c

    If a + b + c = 0, then show that

    Well, that equation has quite a few solutions, wouldn't you need to solve for them all? Or does mater in the equations given below?

    If a + b + c = 0, then show that

    Im sorry to say, but none of these equations work, they are not equal so they have no solutions. I did a quick test by putting numbers in for a b and c. Being 2,3,4 the first part 6(a^5+b^5+c^5) = 5(a^3+b^3+c^3)(a^2+b^2+c^2) using the numbers i offered earlier. It comes to 7794=14355. The...

    High School What does ∏ mean and how can i use it?

    I wish that made more sense, I recognise one symble, the U, but I'm not sure how to approach the A, and tridant thingy, as well as {i}, but the brackets, bring up a familiar idea such as {a,b,c}

    High School What does ∏ mean and how can i use it?

    How does that symbol work? I'm very curious to find out. It probably won't make any sense seeing as how I've never studied abstract algebra

    Undergrad Color addition involving wavelengths

    Well, that is true, your talking about electron absorption and emission right?

    High School What does ∏ mean and how can i use it?

    Thanks guys :) isnt there also a upside down one of ∏ these? is that the exact opposite? meaning that it is always division instead of multiplication?

    Undergrad Color addition involving wavelengths

    only thing that i didnt understand is dayglo surface. what exactly is that? and how does it manage to convert a wavelength that we can't see to one that we can? wouldn't that have a energy dispersion and turn it to the next step down so it would appear blueish/violet?

    High School What does ∏ mean and how can i use it?

    ive only studied up to calculus 2, and have never encountered ∏, but from what i believe it means, it is a multiplier. much like summation but instead of adding things together they are times'd together. is this correct? and also can i see a example? thank you :)

    High School How protons electrons and neutrons relate to an atom's characteristics

    So i was wondering if perhaps a atoms electrons protons and neutrons determine all of its characteristics, such as the hydrogen atom. having only one electron and one proton. it makes it turn into a liquid and solid very close together, and a gas anything above about -259.1°C. and the...
