Extractions: rotten Library Religion No doubt the secular humanists among you are already pissed off by this article, just because of its placement under the header of religion. But what other classification is possible for a set of beliefs that can never be verified by direct observation? In which direct observation automatically negates the validity of the observation? In which invisible forces run counter to Newton's laws of thermodynamics, allowing for everything from time travel to bilocation to teleportation to free energy (also known as zero-point extraction)? OK, OK, OK. It's probably unfair to classify quantum physics as religion. (Probably not, but let's just pretend it is to appease the secular humanists. Wink, wink.) The 20th Century played host to the most amazing set of discoveries and reversals in the history of science. What was once thought to be a world of too, too solid flesh instead melted into a miasma of multiple possibilities, solidified probabilities and verifiable impossibilities. 17th century scientist Isaac Newton had defined a world view of strictly verifiable laws, everything in its place and most things definable by a series of junior high school-level math equations. Despite the fact that he spent the better part of his life obsessed with the now completely discredited "science" of alchemy, Newton defined the parameters of existence for virtually every Western scientist for 200 years.

http://personal.tcu.edu/~dingram/edu/pine3.html

Extractions: by Ronald C. Pine "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." "Anyone who has not been shocked by quantum physics has not understood it." "O amazement of thingseven the least particle!" Our story will begin here because it is the electron, and our knowledge of it, that has been responsible for so much of the technology that we take for granted today. Without the electron there would be no electricity, no electric lights, no TV and no radio. We would not have supermarket doors that open automatically or computers to play video games and do word processing and spreadsheets for business. But what exactly is an electron? In the early moments of the 20th century, scientists found themselves asking this very question. The discovery of radiation and the atom promised to open up a strange new world of knowledge, understanding and power. At first physicists assumed that the atom was like a miniature solar system. At the center was a nucleus consisting of particles glued together somehow, and circling this nucleus were the swiftly moving electrons, like little particle planets. This model did not last long. Although we still use a version of this model today to have some visual handle on what the atom looks like, scientists discovered fairly quickly that mathematical calculations based on this model predicted that the electron would crash into the nucleus in an instant.

Extractions: Email About this website (Sept. 2005) : This website is 2 years old, has 300 pages, and gets about 20,000 page visits a day . Its main function is to show that the most simple solution for describing physical reality, the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) in Space, does actually work (the problems have been caused by the 'Particle' conception of matter in 'Space-Time', as Einstein realised). Now we realise that most people are not into physics, philosophy or metaphysics. However, most people do care about the world that we live in, and the future world that we are creating for our children. And it is pretty obvious that truth and reality (those much abused terms) are the two most important subjects for Humanity to understand if we are to build a better world. Our aim is to get these various WSM subject pages in the top ten in Google so that this knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) is at least known and considered. To achieve this we really need your help to add links to this website . If we can convince just 1% of people (100 people a day) to donate 5 minutes of their time to help then we will easily succeed in achieving this over the next year or so (as most of our pages currently rank in the top 50 in Google for relevant search terms).

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.

I'm not sure where those two things intersect.

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".

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?
