Quantum Decoherence was proposed to justify the framework and intuition of classical physics as an acceptable approximation: it is the mechanism by which the classical limit emerges from a quantum starting point and determines the location of the quantum-classical boundary. Decoherence occurs when a system interacts with its environment in a thermodynamically irreversible way. This … Read more
Understanding what time is and its causality is not easy in part because it is something that cannot be seen or touched. For example some define it only in the abstract saying that is an invention of the human consciousness that gives us a sense of order, a before and after so to speak. In … Read more
There are many theories that attempt to explain what we observed in our three dimensional environment in terms of higher dimensions. However they all suffer from the same problem in that the existence of those higher dimensions are primarily based on abstract on mathematical models. The reason is because we as three dimensional beings are … Read more
Einstein was often quoted as saying “If a new theory was not based on a physical image simple enough for a child to understand, it was probably worthless.” For example one can easily understand how the curvature in space-time can be the causality of gravitational forces in terms of the physical image of a marble … Read more
Bohr summarized his complementary perspective on reality as follows:…”however far the [quantum physical] phenomena transcend the scope of classical physical explanation, the account of all evidence must be expressed in classical terms. The argument is simply that by the word “experiment” we refer to a situation where we can tell others what we have done … Read more
