Four Stories of the Schrodinger's Cat
`Simple Quantum Physics In Four Steps`
Introduction
She is both dead and alive according to some left brains. But I want to give you the story of what we can learn from this for everyday life and for our work with the daily nature philosophical system.
On New Systems and Uncertainty
As you know I was the first that told the world that all the new systems that give themselves very good sounding names like "Quantum worlds, theories" or "Nonlinear or Discrete physics" systems are all random number generators including. Now what is missing in our culture is an appreciation for the "Uncertain" but that this will be the foundation of a new science and that is what we are doing here.
The Uncertainty Principle
For about one hundred years the uncertainty principle has been reconfirmed in hundreds of experiments, which simply says you cannot measure all parameters like coordinates, impulse and so on of atomic particles with any desired accuracy but that there is a limit given by the Heisenberg formula.
Why It Matters
Why has such a tiny matter kept so many brains spinning for such a long time… what is in question here are quantities in the range of 1/billions of a meter and 1/ billions of a second…so who and why care?
Uncertainty in Daily Life
We all know or should know that "uncertainty" is a common factor in our life and we try to escape it with so much pretense and insurances. This is why the discovery that "uncertainty" is even part of the most simple processes is making so much wind for such a long time.
Different Perspectives
And of course there are those simple minds like Einstein who hold that the "Uncertainty principle" is only the result of the fact that we do not know all the details he called them "the hidden Parameters" and once we know them "voila" no more uncertainty all is calculatable down to the last digit.
Belief in an Unmistakable Reality
Simply our common hope/believe/imagination that at the basis there is a really real reality that is unmistakable one way or the other… The cat is either alive or dead..
Beyond Wave-Particle Duality
I don''t want to bore you with the over and over told stories of the wave-particle duality and Schroedinger''s cat… May be there are hundreds of books that do this. But I tell you a different and deeply story so relation to the parallel universe that contain from ancient Upanishads to modern String theory and beyond with simply forming "Four Equations" and "Four Stories".
