Electrons travel faster than the speed of light

Click For Summary
Electrons can exhibit behaviors that suggest they occupy multiple locations simultaneously, a phenomenon explained by their wave functions and quantum superposition. This concept is often misunderstood, with claims that electrons can be in two places at once being labeled as sensationalist. The discussion highlights the distinction between quantum mechanics and classical interpretations, emphasizing that superpositions represent probabilities rather than definitive states. The transition from quantum superpositions to classical mixtures is a key area of inquiry, particularly regarding how and when this occurs. Overall, the complexities of quantum mechanics challenge traditional notions of particles and their locations.

Maaneli -- I read the first QED paper. I's all talk; like a weak existence theorem. We think we can do it, but...And that, after 50 years.

You have done one too many snotty, presumptious, demeaning remarks, so I cannot see the worth in paying anymore attention to you; I'm not interested in being insulted, with all due respect. Why should I give a damn about flaking out or not on you, perish the thought. Get real.

By the way, you don't understand nor appreciate WOM at all. But with experience you will change your tune.
