Quotes About Quantum

There is no linear additive process that, if all the parts are taken together, can be understood to create the total system that occurs at the moment of self-organization; it is not a quantity that comes into being. It is not predictable in its shape or subsequent behavior or its subsequent qualities. There is a nonlinear quality that comes into being at the moment of synchronicity.

God not only plays dice, He throws them in the corner where you can't see them.

Since knowledge [thought] is not contained within a person's cranium but is everywhere at once as was indicated by the double-slit experiment, belief or knowledge held jointly by a group of people would logically seem to be more powerful than that held only by a single individual.

the point is that this experiment proves thought and knowledge are not confined within the brain. Quantum physicists say it's part of the whole. Anyone

All things that exist form an endless area of quantum energy with infinite possibilities waiting to happen.

The purpose of quantum linguistics is to survey the spirit of linguistics and finding solutions to the common barrier problems faced by means of deliberate use of language.

The process of radiation may be, and is, continuous - at any rate within limits extending to far smaller quantities than the quantum.

All kinds of physical considerations become senseless when we try to apply them to distances smaller than 10 -13 centimeter.

My work indicated that if we consider smaller and smaller black holes, at some stage, the properties of black holes become indistinguishable from those of elementary particles.

Newton's laws aren't fundamental, they are emergent; that is, they are what happens when quantum matter aggregates into macroscopic fluids and objects. It is a collective organizational phenomenon.

These parallel universes are not ghost worlds with an ephemeral existence; within each universe, we have the appearance of solid objects and concrete events as real and as objective as any.

It would take a civilization far more advanced than ours, unbelievably advanced, to begin to manipulate negative energy to create gateways to the past. But if you could obtain large quantities of negative energy—and that's a big "IF"—then you could create a time machine that apparently obeys Einstein's equation and perhaps the laws of quantum theory.

The mind reels when we realize that, according to this interpretation of quantum mechanics, all possible worlds coexist with us. Although wormholes might be necessary to reach such alternate worlds, these quantum realities exist in the very same room that we live in. They coexist with us wherever we go.

The quantum theory is based on the idea that there is a probability that all possible events, no matter how fantastic or silly, might occur.

Even if the electrons are separated by many light-years, you instantly know the spin of the second electron as soon as you measure the spin of the first electron. In fact, you know this faster than the speed of light! Because these two electrons are "entangled

But if electrons can exist in parallel states hovering between existence and nonexistence, then why can't the universe? After all, at one point the universe was smaller than an electron. Once we introduce the possibility of applying the quantum principle to the universe, we are forced to consider parallel universes.

Before an observation is made, an object exists in all possible states simultaneously. To determine which state the object is in, we have to make an observation, which "collapses" the wave function, and the object goes into a definite state. The act of observation destroys the wave function, and the object now assumes a definite reality.

But if I make an observation, what is to determine which state I am in? This means that someone else has to observe me to collapse my wave function.

For the ten-dimensional universe, however, there are apparemtly millions of ways in which to curl up. To calculate which state the ten-dimensional universe prefers, we need to solve the field theory of strings using the theory of phase transitions, the most difficult problem in quantum theory.

he was able to estimate the size of the nucleus of the atom. It was one hundred thousand times smaller than the atom itself.

In other words, the process of observation determines the final state of the electron.

In other words, the reason why the string theory cannot be solved is that twenty-first mathematics has not yet been discovered.

A quantum theory of gravity that unites it with the other forces is the Holy Grail of physics.

Because both quantum theory and Einstein's theory of gravity are united in ten-dimensional space, we expect that the question of time travel will be settled decisively by the hyperspace theory. As in the case of wormholes and dimensional windows, the final chapter will be written when we incorporate the full power of the hyperspace theory.
