Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    But why isn't the particle already in a state of collapse since observer one already made in collapse? How can it not be in that state for observer two?

      I think that is the whole point of the thought experiment. To show that it should be but wasn't. But how would the 2nd observer know whether is was or wasn't until he interacted with it? The seem to be saying that even though the first observer collapsed the particle the 2nd observer somehow knew it wasn't collapsed. I don't understand how they could even know.

          What is 'settled science?' All science is based on the falsification of theories and hypothesis, nothing is ever considered absolutely proven, and subject to change. Most basic sciences at the macro scale have well established hypothesis and theories at the foundation, and only subject to limited changes based on the advancement of discoveries and research. The science of Quantum Mechanics is the edge of science, and the observations at the Quanta level of our physical existence are often indirect observations of effects, and yes difficult from the human perspective.

              They are not claiming to 'know.' These are interpretations base don the human perspective of Quantum Mechanics consistent with previous observations.

                You'd have to ask the people who are fond using that phrase.
                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                Than a fool in the eyes of God


                From "Fools Gold" by Petra

                  That is why I am asking you. Scientists are not fond of odd sayings like 'settled science.' They would out of jobs.

                        They are claiming to know. They are claiming the thought experiment has been confirmed with testing. Read the article.

                          Yup - the article claims "proven." Problem arises though, in that it is a reporters words ... though I may have missed it, there doesn't seem to be a direct quote from the researchers, which would be necessary to show that the claim was actually made by a scientist.

                            There is a link to the paper in the article

                              the experiment has been confirmed only determines that the results, the observations, meet the criteria of predictability of the hypothesis. This would remain subject to further research and experiments. This does not meet the criteria of claiming to 'know,' because the scientist do not 'know' the cause among many other unanswered questions concerning Quantum Mechanics behavior at the Quanta level of our physical existence.

                                Give it up Shunya. You have no idea what you are talking about.

                                You are spewing gibberish again.
