That's a very insightful way to put it. To me, that completely and intuitively explains uncertainty -- every form of perception is a form of interaction. So our brains have just evolved to treat them as two different concepts because we perceive using very weakly interacting mechanisms (such as light and sound) and that gives the illusion of pure perception.
However, that does not invalidate my points about the other two aspects of quantum physics -- fluctuations and quantization -- does it?
- onetimeuser98 12y ago"[..] gives the illusion of pure perception" - nicely put @invalidate. this is too strong of a word for a fuzzy conversation like this, it was certainly not my intend nor do I feel to be qualified enough to do so "fluctuations and quantization" - please elaborate furher
- hliyan 12y agoBy fluctuations, I meant this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation Quantization, of course, is the existence limits to divisibility of matter and energy. Sorry, I only have a first-year engineering knowledge of quantum mechanics. I could be oversimplifying.
