The quantum world is so strange, we can all see that from our previous article, from the double slit experiment to quantum entanglement. Well
These two possessed a problem fo the scientific world that, it took great minds like paul Dirac, the great Erwin Schrodinger's and hisenberg to give the solution to the problem above.
Well the first answer to the problems of double slit Experiment came with the help of more advanced mathematics. These lead Paul Dirac to state a quote, that God used beautiful mathematics to create the world. Most of the old mathematics could not provide a solution to these problem. To ordinary layman how can u tell someone that matter can be in two places at the same time.
Schrodinger's cat
Well Schrodinger's was so confused about the results of the experiment from Quantum mechanics that he gave a thought experiment which became know as the Schrodinger's cat.
Schrodinger's assumed that if a cat is placed in a box, and a radioactive material is connected to the box, and he went further to say that if you release the radioactive material inside the box, how can you tell if the cat was dead or alive, you can only be sure only when you observe the box. In normal classical mechanics these will be straight forward. But looking at it from quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics is telling us that the cat is dead because we observe the box or the cat was alive because we observe the box.. these simple thought experiment is one of the reason most people till date still believe nobody understands Quantum mechanics. We just know that it is correct.
Hisenberg uncertainty
Well Hisenberg solve the problem of these duality behavior of matter, by introducing the uncertainty principle. These principle tells that
It is impossible to know the position and momentum of a particle at the same time.
Either you take measurements of the position or you take measurements of the momentum but not the two together. The mathematics behind these simple definition is above these articles.
Also Schrodinger's was able to produce the mathematical explanation of the double slit Experiment, which as become know as the equation of motion of Quantum mechanics today and these simple equation combined with the Dirac equation has brought about a big change in our today. Every gadget of the modern civilizations all works because of the Schrodinger's equation and Dirac equation.
Till today people are still conducting experiment to give some unanswered questions which Quantum mechanics.
Holy grail of physics
The holy grail of physics is believed to be an equation that will incorporate the Quantum world with the world of Einstein.
Well with time we all know that as our knowledge increase. A simple question that started with Ultraviolet catastrophe as become a common house hold and a engine that drives our civilizations.
If you have any idea don't allow it die, ask questions, be curious, who knows maybe what you are thinking might be the holy grail of physics.
A single equation to end all equation, some Scientist believe it may be the end of physics.
To all Scientist out thier, let stay curious!!!!
Nice article 👍
