Multi-space instantaneous existence.

[David010101]

It has been proven that particles can exist in two or more places instantaneously. Is this ability limited to specific particles or universal?

You can have a particle have a probability of being in two places at once, but if you measure the particle with 100% accuracy, then you'll find that the particle is either in one location or another. To be more precise, a particle has a wavefunction which gives the probability that it will be in any particular region, but if you measure the position of the particle, the wavefunction will collapse to a delta function at the point you measured it, and it will now have a 0% chance of being anywhere else, at least if you don't wait too long. As deferro posted, this effect is dominant on the quantum scale and is negligible (but still present) for macroscopic things.

This is a fascinating and complex topic in the field of quantum physics. The phenomenon of particles existing in multiple places at once, known as superposition, has been observed in various experiments and is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics.

To answer the question, it is important to understand that all particles, regardless of their type, can exhibit this ability under certain conditions. This is because all particles, at their most basic level, are described by quantum wave functions that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. However, the likelihood of observing this superposition decreases as the size and complexity of the particle increases.

Furthermore, the concept of superposition is not limited to particles alone. In fact, entire systems, such as atoms and molecules, can also exhibit this phenomenon. This has been demonstrated in experiments with larger and more complex systems, suggesting that the ability to exist in multiple places at once is not limited to specific particles but is a universal principle in quantum physics.

It is important to note that while particles and systems can exist in multiple places at once, this does not mean that they are physically present in all of those places simultaneously. Rather, it is a state of potentiality, where the particle or system can only be observed at one location when measured. This highlights the strange and counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics.

In conclusion, the ability for particles and systems to exist in multiple places at once is a universal phenomenon in quantum physics. While the specifics and implications of this phenomenon are still being explored and debated by scientists, it is clear that it has significant implications for our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.
