They did an experiment to test quantum entanglement using a random number generator to bias laser detection. The bias was created using starlight from a star 600 lightyears away. The experiment supported the standard model of quantum mechanics. Pretty cool.
The next experiment they're going to do is use the Cosmic Background Radiation. It'll probably also support the standard model.
So here's my what-if scenario.
What if, they try the CMB bias and it fails to support the standard model? No big deal. One experiment. But it would be interesting. Actually, both outcome would be interesting. But if the CMB fails the experiment, of course, they'll try another input. They tested a 600 year source, then 13 a billion year source.
Then they try a 10,000 year source: fail. Then they try a 6,000 year source: success.
Get where I'm going? The creationists will jump all over this. The standard model breaks down when you try to use a bias source older than 6,000 years.
That would be so much fun.
I just watched that whole video and I realize how dumb I am. How can a cat be both dead and alive in a box at the same time? How can the detectors be based on the first known light in the universe, Mindblown. Guess I will go back to fails now! LOL
The cat thing is just a thought experiment. The original purpose was to shock people into being skeptical of the weird properties of quantum mechanics. Schrodinger wanted people to understand how weird these things he was studying were and he probably didn't like cats very much, kinda like an in-joke.
There are several reasons why you can't actually do this experiment. One is that information will leak out of the box, even when it's all closed up and taped. Even if the box was airtight, some information is leaking. If information leaks out of the box, the cat will be either alive or dead. The thing that's weird is that information (detection) determines the aliveness or deadness of the cat.
This is why only very small particles exhibit these weird effects. The information can be hidden until you have a detector with enough sensitivity.
As for a detector from the first light in the universe, the cosmic background radiation is just light in the microwave band that arrives at Earth at relatively the same intensity no matter where you look. It's similar to when you turn on an old TV and you see the static. It's that kind of signal (sort of).
Well , you made more sense then the video!
Sounds very SF!
I did not know this scientific chain, it changes clickbait. thanks for the discovery
Interesting post what is your view on the powers of quantum computing
I'm not concerned about it.
I think the mysterys of codified ancient knowledge will be completely uncovered and a new wave of consciousness globally will occur myself.
Enlightening text on the mysteries of Quantum Physics. This energy seems to explain the possible probabilities of things happening to we.
Creationists will always find something else to examine to justify their belief. "Science is incomplete" they will say and start talking about instances where science was wrong.
Nonetheless, falsifiable experiments in physics are a rare find, so I would too like to see where this is going
Experiments that falsify previously established understanding is exciting.
always, it's easier to find 50 year old virgins though
Nice 👍
