I see what you are saying, and also surprisingly, you did answer the question I had in mind :) Appreciate it.

any hypothetical artificial manipulation of quantum variables It excludes directly changing variables at any other level. So you can't directly just turn water molecules into wine molecules (or better yet, dump the glass of water into a sink and fill it with the nearest wine bottle). You can...

Not single particles. I meant disruption on a macro scale with particles changed en-masse For example one of the previous question I asked was the thought experiment of changing water to wine what QM variables need to be changed People listed below: 1) the quantum state (in many cases this is...

By "right now" I mean at the current stage of physics how many of those infinite number of observables have we observed and incorporated in QM (specifically the ones for particle). You mentioned Energy and Position, anything else? I should clarify, when I say "variation" I always mean induced...

The spirit of what I was trying to ask is less about a workable model predicating everything from QM variables up to macro variables. At the moment I am just trying to get a picture of what are the potential theoretical macro variations given hypothetical induced variabilities (artificial or...

Okay well then now I have to ask: -How many different observables for particles are there right now? -Energy, position, spin?..etc. -Is the Energy observable also subject to some sort of uncertainty principle? -Given that variation in the Energy observable theoretically disrupt molecular...

But then if you zoom out again you can say the relevant wave function is for the entire block of water molecules and the constituent molecules themselves do not have individual wave-functions and are free to evolve...etc. And then if you zoom out enough at certain point stuff just become...

I do have another question now considering what people have said. For everyday molecular bounds, do say the particle probability cloud have to evolve into some kind of 100%-0% state for the molecules to be stable? Or do the proposed varying degree clouds enough to keep everything normal. And...

If I see an audio version of that book I'll listen to it, no promises. Look I'll be honest here, as much as all of physics is interesting to people here, to the general public, it's really just two things: -Relativity: Black-Hole (FTL, time-travel..etc.) -Quantum Physics: Interpretation of the...

Right, but isn't nuclei particles also just waveforms governed by the wavefunction :) Anyhow, appreciate very much the responses.

Okay, that actually explains a lot for me, thank you. And just a last question out curiosity. Say that you have a glass of water in front of you, and you have the power to manipulate the waveform/wavefunction of every electron of every atom in that water to the exact degree of what you want...

https://books.google.ca/books?id=PEpfZ3Ul8u8C&printsec=copyright&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false Sorry but that book does not look layman-friendly at all. Also the point you made seem to be just semantics. "Something" happens when a measurement is made. The wave function gets changed so that...

So if particles such as the electrons when "measured" forsake their probabilistic wave form and manifest into a definite particle form, does that mean for all intent and purpose the electrons of every objects we observe are already collapsed? If that's the case how did the labs get pre-collapse...

Right, and here is where my imagination comes into play. Say that hypothetically there is some sort of "friction" vacuum space exerts on all those within it, light included. Again, this is purely sci-fi speculation. But if such a "friction" exists, and can be lessened, and results in the...

My question is why massless objects such as light can only travel at 300,000km/s. What I said in your quote is simply a reply to what my subjective personal opinion is regarding "sluggish".
