DO DI-LITHIUM CRYSTALS EXIST OUTSIDE OF SCI-FI?
Bohr used to say that if you aren’t confused by quantum physics, then you haven’t really understood it (quote from John Wheeler) Of all places where we would expect Occam’s Razor to be welcomed the most, the strange world of Quantum Mechanics would be the perfect place to do so, but yet we don’t see this happening for some strange reason. Might this observation have something to do with the fact that nowhere do we see the religious faith of scientists as strong nor as wildly imaginative as we do in the quantum mechanical cults? Take a look at how physicists typically explain a quantum mechanical event which, in the words of the ever-popular Copenhagen interpretation, is when an unobserved quantum entity exists in a ‘coherent superposition’ of all possible ‘states’ permitted by it’s ‘wave function’, but as an observer attempts to make a measurement capable of distinguishing between those states, the wave function ‘collapses’ and the quantum entity is forced into a single state…Whew!
