Mergath Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So weird. Reading about quantum mechanics always makes me feel like an ant with a tiny brain which will never be able to process the larger nature of the reality around me. Which is frustrating, because I really, really want to know. :P 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I keep reloading the website, but it seems to start in the middle of the article.... Is anyone else getting this? that is, after the item had passed through the first but before it struck the back wall. That task seemed insurmountable. But now that experiment has been tried out, and the results are rather mind-boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merry gardens Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Fascinating. I wonder if the particle somehow knows or senses what's coming ahead. I can think of many examples where people make decisions based on what they know (or believe they know) what will happen in the future.

PeachyDoodle Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wow, that's fascinating! DD is doing a summer study on astrophysics, and we just learned about the double slit experiment yesterday. It's all she's been talking about, so this was perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the second grate wasn't there when it passed through the first. So, it could not "see" what would come next. That's what is so mind-blowing.

That's what is so mind-blowing. Right. But we base the presumption that it couldn't see it because it was random to US. Holy cow. Maybe photons are just freaky smarter and have a crazy good sixth sense? Just... Yeah. Where's that Tardis... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
