Quantum Mechanics: Exploring Symmetry and Continuation

In summary: Please do not post unnecessary or irrelevant content.In summary, the conversation discusses whether quantum mechanics follows causality, phase transition, critical point, symmetry, asymmetry, order, disorder, continuation, discontinuation, limitation, without limitation, convergence, divergence, similarity, hierarchical structure, singularity, and plurality. The question is deemed meaningless and off-topic, and the conversation shifts to discussing the role of symmetries in physics. The thread is ultimately closed due to irrelevant and unnecessary content.

Where are you getting all these terms from, and what do you think they mean?

In scientific terms your question is quite meaningless.

Interesting statement. Don’t you think Newton’s third law of motion is the expression of the fundamental interrelationship, symmetry? Can’t you see symmetry is more fundamental than Newton’s law? And Space-Time is an expression of symmetry, in other words, they follow the fundamental interrelationship of symmetry?

I have removed a post as off-topic and the quotations of it.

@Huang: You have been asked to clarify your question, as it obviously doesn't make a lot of sense to scientists. This question is still unanswered. And a polemic counter question:

does not clarify anything at all.

We do not discuss philosophy here, because normally it isn't philosophy, only babble. You may ask about symmetries, which of course are at the heart of physics since at least 1918. But this is not what you have asked for in the OP. Instead you accumulated a list of keywords without any context or comment. It was politeness to ask you for clarification. The alternative would have been a removal as substandard content.

Again, do you want to discuss philosophical terms in science, esp. physics, or do you have a specific example in mind which you want to discuss? The answer to your question as stated would result in a thick book about metaphysics.

“Where are you getting all these terms from”. It is amazing to see someone ask such a question such as “where are you getting all these terms from (phase transition, critical point, symmetry, asymmetry), partially from a physics forum and who is supposed to be a scientist. And you think that question is “polite”. “because normally it isn't philosophy, only babble” You may think this is polite too, do you? I found this forum is incredible: so much politics.

I tried to explain to you where the difficulties with your question are. However, again you did not clarify anything, but started an argument about an issue which isn't related to your question. Yes, I do call this babble, or a mock fight if you like this better. You seemingly do not want to defend your question, only offend others. This is not only rude, it is also not the way scientists discuss.

This thread is closed.
 

FAQ: Quantum Mechanics: Exploring Symmetry and Continuation

1. What is quantum mechanics?

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior and interactions of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. It explains the fundamental principles of nature and how particles behave in the quantum realm.

2. What is the role of symmetry in quantum mechanics?

Symmetry plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics as it allows us to understand the underlying laws and principles that govern the behavior of particles. Symmetry principles help us to make predictions about the behavior of particles and their interactions.

3. How does quantum mechanics differ from classical mechanics?

Classical mechanics describes the behavior of macroscopic objects, while quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. In quantum mechanics, particles can exist in multiple states at the same time, known as superposition, and their behavior is described by probabilities rather than definite outcomes.

4. What is meant by "continuation" in quantum mechanics?

In quantum mechanics, continuation refers to the idea that particles can continue to exist and behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics even when they are not being observed. This is known as the principle of superposition and is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics.

5. How is quantum mechanics applied in real-world applications?

Quantum mechanics has numerous applications in modern technology, including the development of transistors, lasers, and computer memory. It also plays a crucial role in fields such as cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum communication.
