Quantum theory... OH AND ULQUIORRA ORIHIME PLOX Anonymous
I shall do the impossible. I shall explain quantum theory to you, /c/. While posting Ulquiorra x Orihime.

ARE YOU READY, BITCHES?

Classical physics is very good at describing macroscopic matter phenomena and planets.
>> Anonymous

However, all of this breaks down at the microscopic particle level. Where these particles have been observed to do very strange things.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
One of the strange phenomena is that particles can act as both wave and...well...particle. This is called the wave-particle duality.
>> Anonymous

Though, a particle can never be observed acting as BOTH a wave and a particle. It depends entirely on the experimental method that is designed to determine its properties.

This duality leads the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle:
The position and momentum of a particle can NEVER be observed with arbitrary accuracy simultaneously.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
If you measure the position of a particle accurately, its momentum becomes wildly inaccurate. And vice versa.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
It is given by the equation:
(Error in momentum) x (Error in position) >/= Reduced Planck's Constant/2
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
Which means, for example, when the error in position tends to 0, the error in momentum must go to infinity, because their product must be greater than or equal to a constant.
>> Anonymous

The uncertainty principle is nothing to do with error or instrumental limitations. It is a fundamental fact about the universe, there is simply a limit to what we can know.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
Uncertainty principle can describe the casual world because interactions of billions of particles at the same time will render the uncertainty so small that it becomes insignificant.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
But at the particle level, the uncertainty has a profound effect because the mass of particles is very very small.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
What is certain about the uncertainty principle is:

It is certain that particles are unpredictable.

It is certain that there is no reason whatsoever for particles to act the way they do.

It can be certain that the principle governs everything in the universe.

"Everything observed is a selection from a plentitude of possibilities and a limitation on what is possible in the future"

Heisenberg, 1927

That is to say, particles can exist in a superimposed state when not being observed. It can be in two places at once, be spinning anticlockwise AND clockwise at the same time. However, when observed, the particle only exhibits one state, and that is the observed state.

This is called the "observer effect"

The mere act of observing a system will influence the system.
>> Anonymous

Particles also exhibit a behaviour known as "tunneling".

A radioactive atom will emit radiation, some of these radiation is actually a small atom in itself called an "alpha particle", which is the nucleus of helium.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
According to classical physics (Newton and his apple and all that). It should be impossible for radiation to escape the electromagnetic attraction force of the nucleus of an atom. The energy barrier is too high.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
But that is if particles can ONLY act like particles. Which will go splat on the barrier like a fly on a windshield if it tries to escape.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
Because particles can act like waves also, it will penetrate the barrier easily. That's what waves tend to do. (i.e. electromagnetic radiation, which really is just light, but light can be particles too!)
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
It would be wrong to think that particles oscillate like a wave. Because that isn't how it works. There is nothing in the observable world that can describe an electron. It just IS.
>> Anonymous

In fact. Wave mechanics (mathematics used to describe physics using the wave function) only describes the probability of a particle being in someplace by waves.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
Which means, if you look at the graph of a wave, it doesn't mean that the particle moves up and down. It means at a point in time, the particle has a PROBABILITY of being in one place described in the graph of a wave.
>> Anonymous

This is the essence of quantum mechanics. Everything is described as a probability, nothing is certain.

Okay I'm done. You just got a fresh dose of academics, plus pictures. Pick your favourite. I'm going to bed.

Heisenberg was a drunk and a moron. Also, this coupling is getting kinda played out...

Oh, go cry moar. Who gives a shit about the private lives of dead physicists. And it's not played out if people still churn out fanarts. Bitter much, "Smackababy"?
>> Smackababy
>>521445

Not really. If I was bitter I'd be saging for Bleach. And you might wanna rethink that Fanart = Good Couple logic, otherwise I'm gonna have to dig some shit out of obscurity to show you just how wrong you are.

Oh, since when did fanart NOT correlate to pairings people like? Why do people draw fanart for pairings they don't like? And a "good" pairing is only ever subjective. What's your trash is another person's treasure. So stuff a sock in it.

OP here. I'm not a physicist so please excuse the choppiness of the explanation.

Nah, you told it quite well actually. But you can't imagine how horrible are the mathematics of this thing :S
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
>>521536

I can, sort of. Because in all the books I read on it has the formulas and shit. They boggle the mind. But quantum theory is quite cool when you understand it in non-mathematical terms.

Actually, how can a human interact with a hollow in the first place? I thought those things were like shinigami. They're ghosts.

IT IS THEREFORE EXPLAINED BY QUANTUM THEORY.
