New York - The bizarre rules of quantum physics are often thought to be restricted to the microworld, but scientists now suspect they may play an important role in the biology of life. Quantum mechanics is certainly weird, with beans jumping through walls, and being both inside and outside jars at the same time. The particle was predicted mathematically decades ago but the technology did not exist to actually discover it. On a macroscopic scale the universe appears very rational, and yet on closer inspection things are not quite what they seem. This seems to be a confirmation of the discovery of several months ago. The simple thought experiment presented (dealing with Albert's socks) allows the reader to explore the weird world of quantum physics, an experience that likely will challenge the reader's view on reality. Here the story appears to be completely different thanks to the weird world of quantum mechanics. I don't mean that it could be anywhere. The weird world of quantum mechanics includes innumerable counterintuitive phenomena. Einstein wouldn't have found entanglement so strange, if he'd thrown out a key pre-twentieth-century misconception. Recent experiments have begun to demonstrate how the weird world of quantum mechanics gives way to the familiarity of everyday experience. This first foray into the strange-but-maybe-true world of quantum mechanics wasn't expected by scientists until 20 years from now. If you believe the Schrodinger Equation, you must believe the many world 'interpretation'. De-Spooking Quantum Mechanics By GRAEME STEMP-MORLOCK • Jul 13, 2011. But what about hydrogen molecules treated quantum mechanically? In the strange world of quantum mechanics, a thing is everywhere until you look at it. I disagree that all these 'interpretations' of Quantum Mechanics are free to believe in.
