    There are lots of branches of science and physics. But from our perspective, one of the coolest things that you can learn about is quantum physics. It’s mind-bendingly, paradoxically bizarre. And it’s the closest you can get to real-life magic (even though it isn’t).

    For instance, the wave-particle duality theory tells us that some things, like light, can be both particles and waves at the same time.

    According to ‘Space,’ wave-particle duality is an example of superposition, when a quantum object exists in multiple states at once.

    “An electron, for example, is both ‘here’ and ‘there’ simultaneously. It’s only once we do an experiment to find out where it is that it settles down into one or the other.”

    So, quantum physics deals with odds and probabilities. It’s only when you make an observation (collapse the wave function) that you ‘force’ an object into one of its many possible states.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is the idea behind the legendary Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, where a quantum device is responsible for the fate of a theoretical cat sealed in a box.

    “As the device exists in both states until a measurement is made,” the cat is both alive and not at the same time, until you check.

    Another incredibly cool aspect of quantum physics is quantum entanglement. While we know that it’s real, scientists are still trying to figure out exactly how it works.

    In a nutshell, quantum entanglement refers to two particles whose quantum states are bound (or, well, entangled) together.

    They mostly think we live on a flat earth with a dome and that the moon and space isn’t real and is “manufactured”.Think of it like the Truman show? I think that’s the movie. lol Or like a snow globe on an incredibly large scale. so this wouldn’t change their minds anyway, and it would technically have to be more of a half circle type shadow. I think they’re all baths!t especially after looking more into their reasoning recently. lol but yea.

    The problem with flat earthers is a problem most people have. We all at some point in time adopt a stance and make it a part of our identity. So now instead of being told an idea you had was wrong, you hear "you the person are wrong". We internalize too much external c**p.

    “The Pauli exclusion principle says that they can’t both be in the same state. If we change one, the other instantly changes to compensate. This happens even if we separate the two particles from each other on opposite sides of the universe. It’s as if information about the change we’ve made has traveled between them faster than the speed of light, something Einstein said was impossible,” ‘Space’ writes.

    “So, if somebody comes up to you with a ‘quantum’ idea that seems too good to be true—free energy, mystical healing powers, impossible space drives—it almost certainly is. That doesn't mean we can't use quantum physics to do amazing things—you can find some really cool physics in mundane technology—but those things stay well within the boundaries of the laws of thermodynamics and just basic common sense.”
