63. A Lazy Layman's Guide To Quantum Physics
    The meaning of quantum physics is a bit of a taboo subject, but everyone thinks about This theory explains the paradoxes of quantum physics perfectly.  
    http://higgo.com/quantum/laymans.htm
    
    Extractions: A Lazy Layman's Guide to Quantum Physics James Higgo 1999 What is Quantum Physics? That's an easy one: it's the science of things so small that the quantum nature of reality has an effect. Quantum means 'discrete amount' or 'portion'. Max Planck discovered in 1900 that you couldn't get smaller than a certain minimum amount of anything. This minimum amount is now called the Planck unit. Why is it weird? Niels Bohr, the father of the orthodox 'Copenhagen Interpretation' of quantum physics once said, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it". To understand the weirdness completely, you just need to know about three experiments: Light Bulb, Two Slits, Schroedinger's Cat. Two Slits The simplest experiment to demonstrate quantum weirdness involves shining a light through two parallel slits and looking at the screen. It can be shown that a single photon (particle of light) can interfere with itself, as if it travelled through both slits at once. Light Bulb Imagine a light bulb filament gives out a photon, seemingly in a random direction. Erwin Schroedinger came up with a nine-letter-long equation that correctly predicts the chances of finding that photon at any given point. He envisaged a kind of wave, like a ripple from a pebble dropped into a pond, spreading out from the filament. Once you look at the photon, this 'wavefunction' collapses into the single point at which the photon really is. Schroedinger's Cat In this experiment, we take your pet cat and put it in a box with a bottle of cyanide. We rig it up so that a detector looks at an isolated electron and determines whether it is 'spin up' or 'spin down' (it can have either characteristic, seemingly at random). If it is 'spin up', then the bottle is opened and the cat gets it. Ten minutes later we open the box and see if the cat is alive or dead. The question is: what state is the cat in between the detector being activated and you opening the box. Nobody has actually done this experiment (to my knowledge) but it does show up a paradox that arises in certain interpretations.

    Extractions: Note: Above images link to short summary pages (simple explanation of central ideas), text links to more detailed pages. Note (March, 2005): This page (below) on Quantum Physics (Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics) was written several years ago. While it is OK, over the past few months I have written up a number of more detailed pages on the main quantum theorists (above image and text links). However these pages are still under construction (some are pretty good, most have good quotes and nice image gallery in them!) so I have mixed feeling at the moment as to the best way to proceed. By late 2005 they should be completed and I will remove this older page - until then you can decide which pages to read!

    Extractions: Reality , Boccio before there was quantum physics, the physics of the nineties, there was classical physics. this is what most folks know about physics, you know, like popular physics, it's about like a lawfirm? newton made the universe like a clock, all orderly and stuff - he explained why the apple fell from the tree. he did this by explaining the nature of matter and fields. drop an object, the matter of the object is affected by the fields surrounding it (gravitational or electromagnetic) he got the gravity thing, I think, that's why his name is on a famous gravity law. he didn't grok on the electromagnetic thing so well, but he did use scientific method - hypothesis, theory, stuff like that, with well documented experiments to back it up. some guy named maxwell used like the same method and learned about fields and stuff. then that famous dude einstein found out some more stuff that science didn't know - in one year, 1905, he busted out three phat theories, that are like still famous today. he was a major dude, and that was a major year. he discovered that things are like relative. this is an important part of quantum physics. I'm not sure where those two things intersect.

    Extractions: JILA is an institute for interdisciplinary research and graduate education in the physical sciences, operated jointly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and involving NIST Quantum Physics Division 848 researchers. These NIST scientists participate in a variety of nanotechnology activities, several of which are summarized here. The drive toward both ever-smaller integrated circuits, new materials, biosensors, and improved control of catalysis relies on quantitative and innovative measurements of both surface and materials properties. To measure these properties, NIST Quantum Physics Division researchers have pooled their expertise in chemical physics, lasers, materials, and plasma physics to develop strong research programs in nanotechnology. In an innovative use of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), the Gallagher group is writing nanometer-scale aluminum features on silicon by pinning aluminum with the electron beam from the STM; this research is relevant to quantum-limited electronics. Using the technique of single molecule confocal microscopy, the Nesbitt and Gallagher groups are investigating quantum dots, which are semiconductors intermediate in size between single molecules and the condensed phase. The fluorescence from a single CdSe dot as a function of time, shown in Figure 1, exhibits a digital "on/off" emissive behavior, in which periods of emission are followed by periods during which the dot no longer emits light. Such studies provide insight into the evolution of electronic and optical properties of matter with sample size. Applications of such materials range from nanoscale electronics to biological fluorescent labeling.

These are the very words that physicists use to portray the most basic, scientific picture of our world. What they see is breath-taking. If you think "Quantum Physics" sounds too difficult, unfortunately, it’s even worse than that. Nobody in his right mind, my friends warn me, would dare do television like this. So here I am, doing it because Quantum Physics is real and relevant, and because every literate person should appreciate its profound beauty. This show is an impassioned word portrait of a new reality. Tilt your head, and it won’t be so hard. Stick with me; my bet is that you’ll get it and like it.

He has written over 30 science fiction books, including If the Stars are Gods and COSM, and is considered perhaps the most scientifically accurate science fiction writer.

70. Consciousness, Causality, Quantum Physics
    The standard interpretation of quantum physics assumes that the quantum world is The Cosmic Code quantum physics as the Language of Nature.  
    http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dp5/jse.htm
    
    Extractions: Abstract Quantum theory is generally regarded as one of the most successful scientific theories ever formulated. But while the mathematical description of the quantum world allows the probabilities of experimental results to be calculated with a high degree of accuracy, there is no consensus on what it means in conceptual terms. Some of the issues involved are explored below. According to the uncertainty principle, the position and momentum of a subatomic particle cannot be measured simultaneously with an accuracy greater than that set by Planck's constant. This is because in any measurement a particle must interact with at least one photon, or quantum of energy, which acts both like a particle and like a wave, and disturbs it in an unpredictable and uncontrollable manner. An accurate measurement of the position of an orbiting electron by means of a microscope, for example, requires the use of light of short wavelengths, with the result that a large but unpredictable momentum is transferred to the electron. An accurate measurement of the electron's momentum, on the other hand, requires light quanta of very low momentum (and therefore long wavelength), which leads to a large angle of diffraction in the lens and a poor definition of the position.

    Extractions: web hosting domain names photo sharing Quantum Philosophy by John Horgan COSMIC THOUGHT EXPERIMENT calls for measuring individual photons from a quasar whose image has been split in two by a galaxy acting as a "gravitational lens." In a sense, the way the experiment is carried out now determines whether each photon -billions of years ago - acted like a particle, going one way or the other around the galaxy and ending up in one of the two detectors (a and b),or like a wave, going both ways around the galaxy and generating an interference pattern (c). In ancient Greece, Plato tried to think an talk his way to the truth in extended dialogues with his disciples.Today physicists such as Leonard Mandel of the University of Rochester operate in a somewhat different fashion.He and his students,who are more likely to wear t-shirts and laser proof goggles than robes and sandals,spend countless hours bent over a large metal table trying to align a laser with a complex network of mirrors,lenses, beam splitters and light detectors. Plato Yet the questions they address in their equipment-jammed laboratory are no less profound than those contemplated by Plato in his grassy glade.What are the limits of human knowledge? Is the physical world shaped in some sense by our perception of it? Is there an element of randomness in the universe,or are all events predetermined?

Subjectivism, Reality and Quantum Physics Two articles from the Mensa Bulletin, reprinted in the August Tableaus, dealt with the supposed contradictions between quantum physics (the physics of matter and energy at the atomic and sub-atomic scales) and objective reality. It has become popular among those who dislike objective reality to interpret quantum physics in this way. The argument is that quantum phenomena have no fixed values until they are observed; that experiments confirm that these values are truly indeterminate (i.e., not explained at a deeper level); and, therefore, that "consciousness creates reality".
