You are correct that the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics has been known for many years. However, what is new in the approach of "alien calculus" is the use of a mathematical framework that replaces traditional calculus with a more probabilistic approach to avoid infinities and better describe the behavior of particles at the subatomic level. Alien calculus is a novel approach that aims to improve upon traditional methods and has shown promise in resolving some of the issues that arise in particle physics calculations
- mathattack 4y agoThanks! Would you be aware of any kid-friendly sources that could be used to inspire students? Of the “We love calculus because it explains how a ball moves. Now let me show you something really cool!”
- hammock 4y agoThere is a nice discussion of quantum mechanics here - note you have to click to "reveal all steps" at the very bottom - https://mathigon.org/course/probability/randomness https://mathigon.org/course/probability/randomness Also check out https://ed.ted.com/search?qs=quantum+mechanics https://ed.ted.com/search?qs=quantum+mechanics
- mathattack 4y agoAwesome - thanks!
