| > that’s why Newtonian mechanics have been so successful in (mostly) describing the world we actually live in. But it does not integrate quantum physics. Because it cannot, since everything is a wave. The point they are making is that a correct quantum math would predict Newton and quantum physics, and this can be done, I feel, if we got rid of Newtonian physics altogether. > Even if picking up a cup technically involves collapsing the superposition of an uncountable number of particles/waves in the object Ah, here is the confusion. We do not collapse the wave of the object, our brain collapses the wave in our mind so instead of seeing a hazy probability, we instead see a "solid object". But that solidness only exists in our mind. When we pick up an object, you know, we never actually touch the object. it is just electrons repelling other electrons. A force FIELD of sorts. So what are we (not) seeing when we pick up an object? The wave form of the cup, and the wave form of the hand. Those two wave forms can interact. It is not particles that give aus a sense of things, but elector-static repulsion and the wave of an electron bouncing off the the wave of another electron. > we were able to design simple electronic circuits and programs involving absolutely no quantum effects that are easily able to pick up cups and move around our world. No quantum effects? Where are there no quantum effects in the world? > In actuality, an observation is just a particle/wave interaction Here is my disagreement. An observation is always and only a wave/wave interaction. I am a wave, and the cup is a wave, the electron is a wave, and everything is a wave. My brain is a wave that does not care about waves adn does not want to see waves. It only wants, or needs, to see particles. And thank you for your respnse. |
