or should “reality” define measurement? Robert Oerter, on page 83 of his book “The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics” said “Quantum mechanics has completely undermined the mechanistic view of the universe, by removing not one but two of its foundations. First, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, … Read more
Is time an eternity or does it have a beginning and end? This question is very difficult to answer because current theories are only able to describe what happened after the beginning of our universe. In other words how the universe came about and whether there is any meaning to a “before” or “after” is … Read more
The Pauli Exclusion Principle is the quantum mechanical principle that says that two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Presently it is defined in the terminology of quantum mechanics as when the wave function for two identical fermions is anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the particles. In … Read more
