Quotes About Quantum

The time indicated by a particular clock measuring a particular phenomenon is called "proper time" in physics.

Çok h?zl? hareket eden dalgac?klard?r. Kuantum mekani?inin garip kurallar?na göre yok olup yeniden ortaya ç?karlar, var olan ?eyler hiçbir zaman kararl? bir durumda olmaz; bir etkile?imden di?erine gerçekle?en bir s?çramadan ba?ka bir ?ey de?ildirler.

This is how time is depicted in Einstein's general theory of relativity. His equations do not have a single "time"; they have innumerable times.

Se il mondo è un un pullulare di effimeri quanti di spazio e di materia, un immenso gioco a incastri di spazio e particelle elementari, noi cosa siamo? [...] Nel grande quadro della scienza contemporanea ci sono molte cose che non capiamo, e una di quelle che capiamo meno siamo noi stessi

Quantum mechanics and experiments with particles have taught us that the world is a continuous, restless swarming of things, a continuous coming to light and disappearance of ephemeral entities. A set of vibrations, as in the switched-on hippie world of the 1960s. A world of happenings, not of things.

We often say that causes precede effects and yet, in the elementary grammar of things, there is no distinction between "cause" and "effect.

I may not know something with certainty, but I can still assign a lesser or greater degree of probability to something.

the particles are quanta of quantum fields; light is formed by quanta of a field; space is nothing more than a field, which is also made of quanta;

the world is made entirely from quantum fields

It is the limit up to which we can determine physical variables.

Where are these quanta of space? Nowhere. They are not in space because they are themselves the space. Space is created by the linking of these individual quanta of gravity. Once again, the world seems to be less about objects than about interactive relationships.

This is Dirac's quantum mechanics: a recipe for calculating the spectra of the variables, and a recipe for calculating the probability that one or another value in the spectrum appears during an interaction.

Uzay - zaman?n kuantum dalgalanmalar?n?n yaratt??? bas?nc?n maddenin a??rl???n? dengeledi?i bir y?ld?z?n ya?am?n?n bu varsay?msal sona erme durumuna "Planck y?ld?z?" ad? verilir.

What happens between one interaction and the next is not mentioned in the theory. It does not exist.

Dirac's quantum mechanics thus allows us to do two things. First, to calculate which values a physical variable may assume. This is called "calculation of the spectrum of a variable"; it captures the granular nature of things.

We often say that causes precede effects and yet, in the elementary grammar of things, there is no distinction between "cause" and "effect."* There

The answer is that each element corresponds to one solution of the main equation of quantum mechanics. The whole of chemistry emerges from a single equation.

I think that quantum mechanics has revealed three aspects of the nature of things: granularity, indeterminacy, and the relational structure of the world.

What quantum theory describes, then, is the way in which one part of nature manifests itself to any other single part of nature.

Or does it mean, as it seems to me, that we must accept the idea that reality is only interaction?

the world is made entirely from quantum fields. These fields do not live *in* spacetime; they live, so to speak, one on top of the other: fields on fields. The space and time that we perceiv in large scale are our blurred and approximage image of one of these quantum fields: the gravitational field (193).

Dolay?s?yla olas?l?k, cisimlerin de?i?imiyle ilgili de?ildir. Ba?ka cisimlerle etkile?tiklerinde, cisimlerin özellik alt s?n?flar?n?n de?erlerinin de?i?imiyle ilgilidir.

Time sits at the center of the tangle of problems raised by the intersection of gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics.

This clarified, here is the point: it is possible to think of quantum physics as a theory of information (in the sense outlined) that systems have about one another.
