Its an incorrect rendition of the idea that the oberver changes the experiment *by* observing. It's a quantum mechanics thing, don't worry.

some of them can, they don't want to but can make some stable molecules, they are mostly inert yes as they have perfect number of valence e-

You know what? I'm just gonna say it. The Coulomb and Farad are both terrible units of measurement.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

As a physics teacher, 100% agree. They are stupidly large units that don't correspond to reality. We can do better.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The original definition wasn't that bad in theory: it relied on the three fundamental units. Apparently ħ and c are easier to realize.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Still, they picked an absurdly large value by today's standards. A farad is such an enormous chunk of energy.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Also it's not a unit of energy: 1 farad and 1 volt gets you half a joule. A match puts out 2000 times that.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not many devices use 1 volt. Most of the time the voltage is high while we have to talk about capacitance in micro/pico farads.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A person gets carpal tunnel typing all those zeros after the decimal point.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The farad wasn't picked - it's the natural spawn of two perfectly reasonable units. And it's not too hard to put 1 F together in a box.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's just rarely ever used at that size, unless you wanna make a railgun. It would be smaller if the coulomb (arbitrary value) was smaller.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The amount of energy required to get 0.2 newtons of force at 1meter? Arbitrary as hell. Pointlessly arbitrary. It bloats all the math.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The coulomb isn't arbitrary - it's 1 ampere built up over 1 second. Your phone's battery pushes at least 12,000 of those per cycle.

#16 That's not how the double split experiment works.

4 years ago | Likes 44 Dislikes 1

Good enough to understand it means the wave function collapses under observation.

4 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

Right? It's like, trying to combine the double split with wave interference patterns.

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

The double-slit experiment does show wave-like interference patterns, does it not?

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

There's a misconception that "observing" the experiment is the important part. Even science writers sometimes imply the *human* matters.

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Serious physicists have advocated that interpretation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_interpretation

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It's just that "observing" in a double slit experiment doesn't mean "looking at it".

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yeah, exactly. I prefer "measure" or "interact", but those need a little more explanation, and people lost interest quickly :-)

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

How does it work? Asking for a friend

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

For particles to be "observed" they need to have contact with other particles. So they had a sensor spewing particles and those particles

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

stopped the wavelike behaviour, and "collapsed" the wave form into particle like behaviour. The sensor was the "observer", not human eyes

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Not necessarily contact, just interaction. The double-slit interference pattern still appears with, say, electrons instead of photons, 1/2

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

and you can detect the electric field as they pass, although obviously not without interacting with that field. 2/2

The double-slit experiment demonstrates wave-particle duality. In the classical experiment, shown in high school classrooms today, light 1/n

from a laser forms an interference pattern after passing through the slits, in similar way that a fluid wave might. In principle, by 2/n

4 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

measuring which particle passes through which slit, you can suppress the wave-like behavior and thus the interference pattern. The 3/n

Indeed. Note that this describes specifically the single particle dual slit experiment. The classical dual slit experiment, with a source 1/

'error' is in suggesting that this is the 'default' state when watching the experiment. In reality, this is a highly technical process 4/n

No derivatives there - it's an idempotent closure operator. That's algebra.

Becomes more coffee beans, coffee is sinusoidal

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

The change over time is steep.

4 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Am I the only one who thinks #4 is backwards? Like coffee is the complex function and the beans are its derivatives in a math sense

4 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

I agree with you, we derive coffee from its fundamental components not the other way around

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Just you. In order to get a derivative you have to do something (derivation) to an equation, so processing results in the derivative.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Example: F(x) = X^3 + C, f'(x) = 3x^2 you ignore the C because it doesnt vary wrt X, for coffee the C could be milk, water etc...

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Kind of, in theory finding the derivation isnt a transformation of an equation, you are looking for its rate of change. This exists even

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

if you dont calculate it (and in some cases its impossible to calculate) and can be thought of as the 'driving force' behind the equation
