[smiffy49er]

I would like a discussion about quantum physics :rolleyes:

Is that interesting enough for you??

n o...............dull as dishwaterrrrrrrrrrr:p

I think that might disappear down a black hole...or were you thinking about discussing The String Theory.

[smiffy49er]

Jay it is only because you don't understand the question lol

Now thats a great topic it is this long <<<<< >>>>>>

I would like a discussion about quantum physics :rolleyes:

How about this for starters then?:D

"Quantum physics is the study of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and even smaller microscopic levels.
In the early 20th century, it was discovered that the laws that govern macroscopic objects do not function the same in such small realms.
"Quantum" comes from the Latin meaning "how much." It refers to the discrete units of matter and energy that are predicted by and observed in quantum physics.
Even space and time, which appear to be extremely continuous, have smallest possible values.
As scientists gained the technology to measure with greater precision, strange phenomena were observed.
The birth of quantum physics is attributed to Max Planck's 1900 paper on blackbody radiation.
Development of the field was done by Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg,
Erwin Schroedinger, and many others. Ironically, Albert Einstein had serious theoretical issues with
quantum mechanics and tried for many years to disprove or modify it.
In the realm of quantum physics, observing something actually influences the physical processes taking place.
Light waves act like particles and particles act like waves (called wave particle duality).
Matter can go from one spot to another without moving through the intervening space (called quantum tunnelling).
Information moves instantly across vast distances. In fact, in quantum mechanics we discover that the entire
universe is actually a series of probabilities. Fortunately, it breaks down when dealing with large objects,
as demonstrated by the Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment."

You may jest.....at your peril ...you.......detractor:eek::mad:

Many detractors criticize string theory as it has not provided quantitative experimental predictions.

Like any other quantum theory of gravity, it is widely believed that testing the theory directly would require prohibitively expensive feats of engineering.

Whether there are stringent indirect tests of the theory is unknown.

oops - in the wrong thread - I'm not clever enough for this!

Nor am I...I googled:D

[ruth900]

oh shucks, I was so impressed to!

[moonwitch]

oh shucks, I was so impressed to!

I was impressed with the pun that was included that said that there hadn't been enough stringent tests of the string theory:D

I find that on forums that it's not what I know that matters..it's how quickly I can copy and paste:D

[TiasTreasures]

Is this the right forum for quantum theory or string theory? :confused:

Wouldn't chaos theory be more appropriate? :D

I have no idea...is chaos theory part of quantum physics?

Just looked it up

"A mathematical concept that explains that it is possible to get random results from normal equations. The main precept behind this theory is the underlying notion of small occurrences significantly affecting the outcomes of seemingly unrelated events.

Also referred to as "non-linear dynamics".

OOOOH...can't do sums...think I'll give that one a miss

I have done some scientific notation at Uni if that's any help:confused:

[Borderdoors]

nah you al got it rong!!! was dat fing on tele where Sam Becket was jumpin all around time!!!!;)

Quantum Leap???......that's wot I wuz finking of too:D

Fancy me getting that one wrong....innit

[kengillam]

It's like light which evryone knows is a wave, but consists of photons which have mass.......... Mass... I didn't even know they were catholic :D
