The discussion revolves around the nature of existence and movement in the quantum world, questioning whether anything happens at the quantum level and how classical concepts apply to quantum phenomena. Participants explore the implications of quantum theory and the uncertainty principle, seeking clarity on what can be said to exist in this realm.
Participants express multiple competing views regarding the nature of existence and movement in the quantum world, particularly in relation to the uncertainty principle. The discussion remains unresolved, with no consensus reached on the implications of these concepts.
Participants highlight limitations in understanding and definitions, particularly regarding the uncertainty principle and its implications for existence and movement in quantum systems. There is an acknowledgment of the complexity involved in discussing these topics.
What does that even mean? The "quantum world" is just a description of things very small, all of which do LOTS of things. Ever heard of electricity? An electron is a quantum object.DiamondHead said:

Math does not say what exists. NATURE says what exists. Where possible, we use math to describe what nature creates. Do you think electrons do not move?DiamondHead said:

Protons, neutrons, photons, electrons, neutrinos ... Do you not know how to use Google?DiamondHead said:
The uncertainly principle has nothing to do with whether or not things exist and whether or not they move.DiamondHead said:
Ummmm.... atoms, nuclei, a large number of subatomic particles, just to list the obvious Physical things. Then there are fields, energy, momentum, spin, etc, etc. Pretty much everything you're likely to have been taught exists. Why would you doubt it?DiamondHead said:

I think you need to think more deeply about the uncertainty principle.phinds said:
