help me understand Quantum Mechanics. As I've read, with great interest, QM is a no longer a theory but a provable science that electron spin or rotation is equally opposite in two different places at the same time? What hardware do we use to detect electron spin direction and such... Can anyone explain this in easier terms?
- Estragon 16y agoQM is a no longer a theory but a provable science that electron spin or rotation is equally opposite in two different places at the same time? No, this "superpositioning" aspect of QM is still a completely untested theory, al beit one which is accepted without question by most contemporary physicists. It's called the Copenhagen Interpretation. There are other possibilities, and no empirical basis for distinguishing between them, at this stage.
- eru 16y agoDon't most scientist prefer the many worlds interpretation now?
- sp332 16y agoNeither of them is really accepted. Scientists might have a preference toward one or the other, but so far they both have inconsistencies.
- eru 16y agoBoth may not be very convincing, depending on your biases. But I found them consistent (especially the many worlds interpretation). Could you explain?
