shaybebaby:I agree with you, animations area the best! But I also have this obsession with providing the full picture, hence the other videos. So based on the measurement device forcing the electrons to occupy a single position, my question is about having more than one device measuring the same thing, either position or momentum not both.This is a really good question. Let's recall the thermometer example for a moment. Remember that a thermometer works by absorbing part of the heat emitted by the target object. So I guess your question is: If I use two thermometers would I get the same result as using one? You know what else absorbs heat? Ice cubes in a glass of ice tea. So if you put two ice cubes in ice tea, the resulting coolness is unlikely to be comparable to when you put one (I know I prefer my ice tea with two or more ice cubes). Similarly, when you increase the number of observers, you'll most likely get a different result than with one. I don't know if you have already answered it, still ruminating so bear with me.Good. Then you're beginning to get the picture Work issue? A particle gone rogue?More like a rogue reviewer of my last paper.

shaybebaby:Hey you! Had a work related snafu...still having it, but more under control now  Interesting choice of subject to bring up under a conversation about Brexit. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to revive the alternate reality in which Brexit didn't happen! Let's attempt to answer your question which is plenty sensible. Apologies for the length of my answer though. Quantum mechanics is never an easy subject to explain, mostly because no one really understands it. You will know why as you read on. Let's start from the macroworld, and work our way down to the quantum. Picture a thermometer. At any given time, it has its own local temperature, right? Nevertheless, when you use it to measure your body temperature, its reading changes to reflect your body's temperature...or does it? Well, not really! The temperature your thermometer displays at any given time is a combination of a lot of things; for instance, we have the ambient temperature, humans also emit infrared heat, so the thermal reading would also depend on the number of humans in the room in which the measurement is being taken. In fact, every single material object in the universe emits heat, so your thermometer reading will also be affected by the number of things in and possibly outside the room. It doesn't end there: The material your thermometer is made of also has local variations in its temperature, and these variations will reflect in the reading too. However, compared to the heat emitted by the human body with which this thermometer is in contact, all these contributions are infinitesimal, so we can be fairly confident that the temperature value displayed is accurate to an acceptable degree of certainty. Also, a thermometer works by stealing heat from your body, right? This means, your body temperature would have dropped ever so slightly after the measurement, so that if you instantaneously bring another thermometer with exact initial state as the previous one, it will record a slightly lower temperature than the previous. Like I said though, you might not even notice this change because it will be infinitesimal. Now, let's reduce the size of our thermometer to the smallest matter possible. For simplicity, let's say an atom. In fact, let our thermometer be a hydrogen atom. Let us now try to measure the temperature of an adjacent helium atom...ah...here, things begin to get interesting. Now, the thermometer (measuring device) is comparable in size with the object of interest (a helium atom), and we can't get it to be smaller because it's the smallest object (note that there are smaller objects than hydrogen, but I use hydrogen for simplicity and familiarity). What happens when this hydrogen thermometer comes in contact with, or close enough to the helium atom? Well, First, you must know that temperature is basically a measure of the kinetic energy of particles. The faster, the hotter; the slower, the cooler. Okay, so these two particles immediately collide and exchange energy with each other. If you could measure the speed of your hydrogen thermometer after contact, you could, in principle, tell the temperature of the helium before contact. However, after collision, the helium would have lost a significant amount of energy (to the hydrogen thermometer), so you would agree that it is practically impossible to measure it again and tell its temperature from the previous state. I cheated above because what I've described are both classical experiments, not quantum ones. Yet, there are still important takeaways from them: Firstly, you will note that even in classical systems, the measurement device is not independent of system being measured, and will always affect the result during and after the experiment. The second take away is that the effect of the measurement device on the object of interest becomes more and more significant as both objects become comparable in physical properties such as size. Now, let's examine a quantum system: In the videos I shared, it was established that matter exists in a sort of particle-wave duality. To understand exactly how this might be, we may as well imagine a particle, with a wavelike nature as in the simplified figure below.  You will see that before measurement, there is a probability that this particle is in position x1, x2, x3, x4 and x5 simultaneously. This probability is given by Px1 = Px2 =Px3...and so on. This means by the true nature of this particle, you can never know its exact position. Should you wish to know the precise momentum of this particle, you will need, according to the equations at the top, its wavelength, λ. To know its wavelength, the particle's wave has to be intact, in which case, you will never be able to know if the particle is actually in position x1 or x2 or x3 etc. On the other hand, if you wish to know its position, your measuring device isn't actually measuring its exact position, no! Instead, your device is forcing the particle to assume a particular location by introducing new waves (the orange part of the figure). Recall that in our classical experiment, the measurement device always affects the object being measured, yes? Now, in our quantum experiment, this measurement device is also made of particles which have their own individual wave functions. So, what you have in fact, is a complex convolution of many other waves which add to and subtract from the position probabilities of your particle, eventually forcing the particle to occupy one single location by reducing the probabilities of the other locations. The more waves are added (i.e. the more precise the measuring device), the less the contributions from the other position probabilities. In this case, we confined it to position x3 in the image. In theory, you can confine your particle to a precise location in the order of an infinitesimally small length called the Planck's length so that you get a precise location. However, by eliminating the other peaks of your location probability, you also lose information on the wavelength. Therefore, you can never get the precise momentum of your particle at that instant. You asked whether one could get all that information at the same time should they carry out multiple measurements simultaneously? Simply put, the answer is no! If you tried, you'd just end up getting a result that is neither its original momentum nor its position. This limiting factor is called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The animation below does a great job of explaining the wavefunction collapse. The two slit experiment actually treated the electrons as waves, thus was capturing the full information of their momenta, hence the interference patter. Notice, however, how the electrons became particles again when the physicists tried to measure their position! That measurement device basically forced the electrons to occupy a single position by introducing its own waves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc If you've read this far, then wow! I duff my hat! I also hope you are now sufficiently confused. If you're not, then I haven't properly introduced you to the world of quantum mechanics. |

LordAdam16:I can't say what, if anything, exists beyond the universe; or, for that matter, if 'nothing' is conceptually perceptible. However, I have speculated in the past, but my proposition is just that: a speculation! I'm quite familiar with the astronomical conjecture that if you travel far enough, you'll return to the same point. If you look far enough, you'll see the back of your head. Aka the edgeless universe. But an edgeless universe is not necessarily an infinite universe. It's like traveling around the world in an aircraft. If you travel far enough on a transverse plane in one direction, you'll return to the same starting point. If you started walking away from your house in one direction, you'll eventually return to your house.It is true that the concept of infinity is not known to have any natural equivalence. But again, the operative word here is "know". To be blunt, there's not a lot about nature that we presently know in the first place. From what we know though, the conventional scientific approach is to foist determinism upon the universe and all its governing phenomena. This is done by presupposing a closed, self-contained system. As such, every question about it is either answered by observations or through the use of theoretically satisfactory solutions in the case of astronomical scale probes that approach the boundaries of this closed system, and far exceed the limits of observational science. It is because of this disposition that we are able to reconcile the puzzling observation of the expanding universe with concepts which are theoretically sound, but conceptually bizarre, like dark energy (a type of anti-gravitational force which eludes practical demonstration but is said to be uniformly distributed across that universe)! While a self-contained, closed universe, is a useful assumption for our approximate model of the known universe, such a universe has not yet been satisfactorily justified. To understand my meaning, picture a non-linear 2D curve like the one below. While the model that describes it is a little complicated, any two adjacent points can satisfactorily be described by a linear model. This works for predictions within the local vicinity of the three points in question, but it is a dilemma when making predictions about the behaviour of the extended curve, especially when you merely occupy a tiny spot on a tiny pixel on one of the plot points.  In short, all I'm trying to say is this: We've only been able to model the universe as far as we can see, and I have no doubt that we haven't seen very far at all to definitively say eternal processes exist or don't, as it were! 1 Like |

DeSepiero: Apologies for the super late reply bro...got extremely preoccupied, sotey my life dey run ahead of me. To your question, you're correct that enforcement may not play out as expected! But recall that I emphasised that this process is painfully gradual. Even if we took Nigeria as an example, you'll see that its constitution is secular precisely because of the multiple religious and ethnic interests represented in this geographic space. However, the parts of our secular laws that are enforced are heavily skewed in favour of the major religious interests like you mentioned. I pin this on the fact that the economy of the country is fuelled by people affiliated, at least publicly, with one religious interest or the other. When other groups such as atheists, traditional diviners, animists and so on start making significant contributions to the economy, the enforcement of the law will also start to favour these groups too. What is important to note, however, is that there's nothing presently stopping other groups from becoming major players in the economic fate of the country at any given point. Compare this to a theocracy where certain groups are actively disenfranchised so that there's no chance they'll ever be about to thrive, let alone influence policy. In summary, the present disenfranchisement that minor religious groups feel in Nigeria is more connected to poor economic representation than to any deliberate ideological exclusion. And this will surely change as we get richer and more influential. Sadly, the attraction of government policies to economic factors is prolific. This is true anywhere in the world! 2 Likes |

KingEbukasBlog: Fundamentally, the Big bang theory is a retropolation of the observed expansion of the known universe to a point particle, using the known laws of physics. As such, your statement is inaccurate for the the following reasons: (1) There may yet be parts of the universe that remain unknown, which may completely falsify the big bang theory. (2) once the universe is shrunk to a size with diameter approximately the scale of Plank's length, the known laws of physics completely breakdown, including those of quantum physics. This doesn't mean the universe ceases to exist at such scales, it just means we don't have any laws to describe anything that might exist at such a scale. Clearly, this implies that there are unknown laws of physics which haven't been accounted for. So, until we rule out all possible laws, it is flippant to claim that "all matter and energy came into existence in the big bang". Usually, when physicists say things like the universe came into existence with the big bang, the phrase "as we know it" is always an implied preceding caveat. It is unfortunate that this point isn't usually made clear in materials dealing with the subject of the big bang, but that's just what it is. If you did read between the lines of several materials on the origin of the universe, however, this point becomes more obvious. Take this Forbes article for example, where it is said that: "If we were to extrapolate “infinitely” far back, we’d reach a singularity, where physics breaks down. With our modern understanding of the very early Universe, we know that an inflationary state preceded the hot, dense Big Bang, and that inflationary state was of an indeterminate duration. So when we speak of “the age of the Universe,” we’re talking about how much time has passed since the Universe could first be described by the hot Big Bang until the present day." Or even this Hawkins article on the origin of time: "At a singularity, all the laws of physics would have broken down. This means that the state of the universe, after the Big Bang, will not depend on anything that may have happened before, because the deterministic laws that govern the universe will break down in the Big Bang. The universe will evolve from the Big Bang, completely independently of what it was like before. Even the amount of matter in the universe, can be different to what it was before the Big Bang, as the Law of Conservation of Matter, will break down at the Big Bang." Did you notice that even Steven Hawkins was careful not to rule out the existence of matter before the big bang! Bottom line: Be circumspect about your claims! Cc: Proudgorgeousga 2 Likes |

You asked: DeSepiero:AgentOfAllah post=61444542:Considering the bolded, how do you react to this shaybebaby: I would say that the adoption and enforcement of human rights laws is pragmatic! And yes, there would certainly be resistance from those who are ideologically opposed to the concept of secularism. But that's the point, isn't it? It's ultimately a war of principles and one is bound to win eventually; that is, the one with the numbers. If I were to wager on which principle that would be, I would put all my money and chips on secularism. My reason being that while other ideologies are usually exclusive and have a tendency to obliterate competitors, secularism is mostly inclusive, so it will always accommodate the most the number of ideologies; thus the most number of supporters. Departing from abstraction, we may examine the trends in some of the world's strictest 'ideolocracies', such as Saudi Arabia and and Iran, and we will see a clear proclivity towards secularism. The persuasive power of this principle, while painfully gradual, shouldn't be underestimated. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Although, secularism is widely seen as separation of religion and state. However, I'd like to broaden the definition for my purpose to include separation of state and ideology in general. By so doing, my advocacy for secularism makes sense to me. Since it would necessitate the adoption of governance by rational pragmatism. I use a redefined "secularism" because I don't know of any coinage that satisfactorily describes my meaning presently. Maybe I will make one up, in order to avoid confounding the widely accepted meaning of secularism with mine. So yes, given my definition, I do think it will ultimately promote religious tolerance provided it is not just promoted, but enforced. 3 Likes |

supersystemsnig:I think the real ratio of Hydrogen:Helium is actually ~75%:~25%. But onto the main point, there are other isotopes of hydrogen that defy your "oneness" notion; of which the most stable are deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H). The role of these isotopes may seem insignificant because they are less than 1% of existing hydrogen atoms, but note that they were pivotal in the synthesis of other elements. Simply put, no other element would exist without these other isotopes. Now i started with hydrogen because it is extremely chemically stable, in chemistry, we'll understand that because of the relative stability of the nuclei of this element, it would require extreme force to set the nuclei apart and once this is achieved, it creates a series of spontaneous and continuous chain reactions that sets off other products that continue to react with themselves and this continuous and massive reactions was the beginning of all things...Hydrogen is actually the exact opposite of chemically stable, and it is not really correct that its nuclei is set apart. Note that hydrogen starts off as protium, which is a single nucleus with nothing to split into. What actually happens isn't splitting (fission) but combination (fusion) of proton and neutron. After fusion, the protium becomes deuterium and then further reaction with another protium/deutorium may form helium, Now because the energy of the product is usually lower than that of the reactants, excess energy is given off, by ejecting high energy gamma ray/neutron. This high kinetic energy neutron then goes on to react with another protium, starting the cycle again. Hence the chain reaction. I have never personally heard the term "energy of the sun", but if it means anything, it is probably just a reference to the process by which the sun radiates, which is, through hydrogen fusion. It is too difficult to do that over 60 years of scientific research has not been able to fuse.. Look to the stars, planetary bodies, planetary formation, this same reactions is producing new plants, galaxies, and guess what the dominant element that has been observed in them is? Hydrogen....So, on paper research scitentist will tell you just like i am how by reacting, either breaking or combining its sub atomic parties can create atleast 80% of the elements in the world today, look for a radioactive delay illustration of Hydrogen for referenceIt is not that difficult to fuse hydrogen, actually. Hydrogen fusion is exactly the operational principle of a thermonuclear bomb. It is in fact, done in labs all the time, using particle accelerators. Actually, only 25% of elements were created by hydrogen fusion. The remain 75% are ionic protiums (bachelor hydrogen atoms) desperate for electronic mates. 1 Like |

ebenice:Valid points! Religious views presently shape the world, no doubt. However, my argument stems from the conviction that pretty much all global conflicts, historical and modern, are for the control of resources. Religion has merely served as the rallying cry that masks that stark reality. So, what I meant by my statement is that forcing people to eschew religion wouldn't do anything to address the elementary cause of crises because we'd probably just find new masks (such as tribe, skin colour, social class, etc) to fight the same old wars. As such, eliminating religion or any other rallying ideology wouldn't change the world as it is, however, embracing secular principles will unmask our true nature, maybe humble us, and then shame us into negotiating with each other based, not on silly ideologies and false senses of entitlement, but, on rational pragmatism. Another fact. The big bang theory and other scientific research couldn't give a vivid and accurate detail about how life started..but religion like Judaism, Christianity Islam brought a more thorough detail " creation" which till date have not been totally disrepute no matter how science triedVividness or thoroughness do not independently translate to accuracy. Game of Thrones is a very vivid and thorough story. That doesn't make it factual. So, even if religious accounts were thorough - a claim which I vehemently dispute, considering the staggering amount of errors, illogicalities and contradictions they promote - I don't know that they are accurate. Thus, I do not feel a need to disprove them. Only proven things can be disproved! Ofcos just like all other theories..economic,political and what have you had their own short comings, Religion has equally had it own fair share..Yes it does! And in saying religious laws doesn't evolve with the times...well it may be true..as No "God" would want to see His laws changed..it will be term rebellion..but neither would our secular laws be treated with levity if broken.Why not? It wouldn't be rebellion if the "god" changed its own laws to adapt to present human situation, would it? The LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF is forever the best suitable law of all timesIt's a stupid and unrealistic law! No one has ever, and will ever love their neighbours as themselves. If so, you'd gift to your neighbour everything you acquire for yourself out of self love. If you can convince me that your neighbour drives the same car as you, lives in the same house as you, eats the same food as you, and gets half of your income, then I am willing to relent on my scepticism. But I believe more blame lies in us human and not religion...the Animal kingdom don't do religion yet they have been existing till date..it is we humans that keep interfering in their affairs.Yes, I agree with you. Maybe even go one step further and not blame religion at all! War is human nature, but so is peace, shame, love, happiness, sadness and all attendant complexities ever expressed by humans.
