Can atoms exist in two places at once?
The new quantum superposition smashes the previous record. And there’s another phenomenon called quantum superposition. This principle of quantum mechanics suggests that particles can exist in two separate locations at once.
Are observations bias?
In research, the observer bias is a form of detection bias originating at a study’s stage of observing or recording information. Different observers may assess subjective criteria differently, and cognitive biases (including preconceptions and assumptions) can affect how a subject is assessed.
Does reality really exist?
Australian scientists have recreated a famous experiment and confirmed quantum physics’s bizarre predictions about the nature of reality, by proving that reality doesn’t actually exist until we measure it – at least, not on the very small scale.
Does anything exist without a sentient observer?
Short answer: Yes, it exists as long as it interacts with something. Long answer: Having a sentient observer isn’t needed for something to exist. Lots of things exist in the universe without anyone there to see it.
Does the existence of the universe depend on the presence of life?
So no, the existence of the universe does not depend on the presence of life. And many things in this universe are in eigenstates every once in a while simply because of the way they interact with other things which are, for all practical intents and purposes, classical.
Is it true that states of matter do not exist?
It is absolutely not true that states of matter do not exist when they are not noticed. If someone tells you this, he is talking nonsense. The correct statement is that a quantum system usually exists in a state that is not at all like the states of the classical world. Simply put, it cannot be described by ordinary numbers.
