Anyone else like Quantum Physics? I love reading /seeing things about it . I know zilch (on a scholarly level) but I know endless info about it on a gut level! (like everyone else) because we live it daily. Anyway, i love this stuff. IF you do too, read on.. The video below shows some very cool scientific info that there is something NOT quite logical at all about our Universe: that the mere act of observation can completely change the outcome of an event. Before that idea gets too weird, watch the video below to understand:(Forgive the corny cartoon character explaining the concept — but at least it helps explain some of this theory) What are the implications of this? 1. Matter can act as both a wave and a particle depending on whether or not it is being OBSERVED (Wave-Duality Theory) This is the least meaningful implication for you as a macroscopic organism, but nonetheless it’s a pretty crazy concept. 2. Observation can (possibly) affect the outcome of macroscopic events You and everything you know are composed of these microscopic particles, so why couldn’t something large be influenced as well? It would be the sum of a seemingly infinite amount of pieces of matter acting as either waves or particles. Scientists have very mixed opinions on this topic so I’ll just say it makes sense to me that this could happen on a larger scale. 3. We don’t know very much about this universe (Science is not an ‘exact science’ There are noetics also in science) There are a couple things out there that science still cannot explain like the characteristics of gravity, but this blows Newton’s discovery out of the water. As we study smaller and smaller particles in order to understand more about what we’re made, we seem to find more things that just don’t make sense. Point being that nothing should be ruled out completely because we simply cannot know anything for certain at this point. What other implications did you get out of these experiments?
