We just can't know the speed and position at the same time

Oh, look! Yet another groundbreaking theory where #gravity moonlights as the magic wand for #quantum mysteries 🌌🔮. Apparently, Newton’s apple now also collapses wavefunctions—who knew?! 🍎👩‍🔬

How Gravity Can Explain the Collapse of the Wavefunction

I present a simple argument for why a fundamental theory that unifies matter and gravity gives rise to what seems to be a collapse of the wavefunction. The resulting model is local, parameter-free and makes testable predictions.

Schrödinger's Plumbing: something under the sink is leaking, but only when the cabinet doors are closed and you cannot observe it.

#Guestarticle #Jürgen #Uphoff: “#Foundation of #QuantumMechanics

The essay tries to give a statistical justification of quantum mechanics in order to bury the “#CopenhagenInterpretation” from a revisionist point of view. Jürgen deals with the problem of why a #StructuralRealist description, such as the #Schrödinger #WaveFunction, should be forced back into corpuscular #Matter#Relations as #wave-particle duality with the help of #stochastics.

Physicists confirm the incredible existence of 'time mirrors'

This sort of time flip has been described as looking into a mirror and spotting your back instead of your face. It sounds like science fiction, but it has a basis in real physics.

Researchers had predicted for more than 50 years that sudden shifts in a wave’s environment could trigger such reversals.

Time reflections differ from everyday mirror views in one crucial way. Instead of light or sound bouncing back in space, the wave is forced to reverse its flow in time.

Physicists confirm the incredible existence of "time mirrors"

Physicists demonstrate a time mirror for the first time, reversing electromagnetic waves in a laboratory led by Dr. Hussein Moussa.

If I want and I don't want, I am and I am not, or if this post is published and not published.
Hamlet would say, "To be or not to be, that is the question," and Schrödinger would disagree and say, "To be and not to be, that is the state of a cat" (or its wave function).

Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?

In the quantum double-slit experiment, did the particle go through the slits or did the wave function? 1920's quantum physics has a simple answer: "NO".
