When they say they put an object big enough to see into this quantum mechanical state, thats awesome. But, it still seems like you can't see it being in this state. I wonder if its possible to be able to to see something both vibrate and not vibrate.
Though as far as I know, one of the ways the environment messes with quantum mechanical phenomena is by photons hitting the objects in question, so maybe seeing these things is out of the question.
- JonM 17y agoExactly ^^ Observing the phenomena would change it's state. It's one of those complete head-fks about quantumn mechanics. You just have to accept that the quantumn world concerns probabilities (wave functions) rather than finite "locations" which we are used to in the non-quantum world. It's a hugely interesting subject.
