When you try to combine quantum physics with Einsteinβs theories, you quickly run into some pretty serious problems. The biggest is that causality β the order in which events occur β becomes uncertain as the rest of quantum physics. A group of physicists have leveraged that uncertainty, and are now claiming that they can send messages to the past using quantum mechanics. Itβs not as crazy as it
To this day, researchers donβt fully understand quantum physics. But in a new paper, physicists from MIT say that thatβs okay β because the phenomena we use quantum physics to explain can actually be understood using classical physics. Really? Letβs take a look.
Comment on PBS Space Time video PBS Space Time produces some very good videos on the foundations of quantum mechanics (QM), so let me comment on their video What If Physics IS NOT Describing Reality to provide (crucial) missing information. This comment pertains only to the first 9 min of the video, i.e., it has...
