QM and the PP
Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2012 6:09 pm
I'm midway through a fascinating book on Quantum Mechanics (aka, Quantum Physics) and every time I read about one of the experiments (like Schrodinger's cats) I can't help but think about the habit of checking PP performance.
I'm sure that those of you with knowledge of both QM and the PP will know what I mean.
Putting it crudely, and with apologies to the real scientists here, on the Quantum (sub-atomic) level the state of matter (for lack of a better term since it is now questionable that "matter" as we know it actually exists), is indeterminate until it is consciously observed.
Another experiment, known as 'The Double-slit experiment" seems to have established that taking measurements can have effects extending into the past.
So please be careful with all of the PP backtracking charts.
(My apologies again to the real scientists but this is what I'm gleaning as a layman on this fascinating subject).
