Quantum theory, in fact is backed up by a very large number of very exact observations of ... wait for it... REALITY!
Perhaps we're dealing with semantics in that we obviously must use our "reality" to discovery things are not regarded as real? But doesn't that beg the question as to what is real and isn't that way scientists are shocked? Another thing I've read about quantum physics is...
I'm no scientist - far from it. But I have been reading interesting information on quantum physics lately and from what I have learned both of the statements above are wrong. Quantum physics tells us that reality is far beyond human perception and intuition. In other words, our rational mind and common sense are just not capable of understanding the true nature of reality. So experiments or theories that don't match real world observations can, and have, been proven correct, and reality is not the final arbitrator (not that faith is either) but our perception of reality can be an illusion in relation to certain experiments. In any event, I've probably just mangled trying to explain quantum physics but I'm pretty sure those in the know would take issue with the statements above.
This is called quantum woo. In other words, complete bullshit.
It's not this mystical bullshit.
Say it like it is! Ha.
I'm not so inclined to readily discount this debate as you are, especially since the debate on this issue between Einstein and Bohr has been called:
...one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory,quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The consensus view of professional physicists has been that Bohr proved victorious in his defense of quantum theory, and definitively established the fundamental probabilistic character of quantum measurement.
But you can call it all BS if you want. It took Einstein a lot more words to lose the debate so no need to waste your breath...
You're simply misunderstanding what they are saying.
you're JUST PLAIN WRONG
So experiments or theories that don't match real world observations can, and have, been proven correct, and reality is not the final arbitrator (not that faith is either) but our perception of reality can be an illusion in relation to certain experiments.
the world may work in strange and unintuitive ways at very small scales
I second this. The scientific method is to observe, postulate a hypothesis, design experiments, and then discern if your hypothesis was invalidated by experimental results.OK, I'll weigh in on this. I have a couple of engineering degrees from accredited schools (see signature), I call BS immediately when I see the claim in the article "And that’s why I’m skeptical of the claim that the Tesla Model S, or any other car, accelerates faster than gravity..
Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist who made significant contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory once said: “if quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.” Quantum physics has left scientists all over the world baffled, especially with the discovery that our physical material reality, isn’t really physical at all. “Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”
...
One of the most bizarre premises of quantum theory, which has long fascinated philosophers and physicists alike, states that by the very act of watching, the observer affects the observed reality.
Also, we understand both quantum mechanics and newtonian physics with excruciating accuracy.
And it may be an old wives tail or uban legend, but I have heard that according to our understanding of physics, bumble bees can't fly. Luckily for them, their little bee brains can't understand physics.Give me a break. I don't have a PhD in anything, but do know how to read a timing sheet.
One of the hallmarks of science, as opposed to things like faith, is that reality is the final arbiter.
That is a rather pernicious urban legend. An analysis of how it came to be:And it may be an old wives tail or uban legend, but I have heard that according to our understanding of physics, bumble bees can't fly. Luckily for them, their little bee brains can't understand physics.
