Stern Gerlach Experiment – The Key to Understanding Quantum Behavior
Some Insights - with my own verbiage - from Strange World of Quantum Physics -. Also read The Scales at which Quantum Amplitudes Apply Raw Count leads to probabilities Instead…
Free Particles do not have eigenstates
Since there are no bound energy states (nothing to BIND the free particle), there are no energy eigenstates. All energies are allowed.
Observer, Observed and Quantum Amplitudes
With the double slit experiment and it's many modifications (Quantum Eraser type experiments), there have been attempts to try and sidestep the whole 'observation' of the particle phenomenon. This is…
Black Body Radiation and Planck
At low frequencies, the black body radiation spectrum was well explained (by the Rayleigh Jeans formula). At higher frequencies, it wasn't. In fact at high frequencies, the formula predicted infinite…
Relativity – Theory of Invariants
Relativity just saws that certain physical quantities should remain invariant regardless of the reference frame they are viewed in. A Vector is invariant regardless of the frame it is viewed…
The size of a pulsar
It is not possible for the size of a radiation emitter to be greater than the wavelength of the pulse emitted. Pulse Widths are found to be 10 to 20…
It is NOT the particle that is ‘wavy’
Wave Particle DUALITY This whole idea of a 'waving' particle is misleading. It is not the whole, lumpy particle that is wavy - the particle is indeed ALWAYS lumpy. It…
Is everything in our brain also 1s and 0s
When we 'process' an image or a sound, is that ultimately composed of 1s and 0s like an ordinary classical computer? Or is there a broader based representation of images?
One Photon at a time – Quantum Interference
The Photon Beam Splitter Take a beam splitter - send the two split halves down different paths and recombine them down the road. You will see the expected interference pattern…
