I do not understand how uncertainty could explain this. For example, as I comprehend it, no effort is made to calculate both location and momentum. Rather, simply simultaneous spin, in some ways violating the constant, was measured, which is just one measurement not precluded by the uncertainty principle. I think.
I realize this is pretty far out for folks not into this stuff, but it confuses the heck out of me. I think it was Feynman who said that if you claim to understand quantum mechanics you are really confused, or words to that effect.
Nice talking to you.
Well, we could if we want (and most do) think of time as being like a particle on a trajectory. We then have the ability to say )or measure as closely as we can) the position of the particle, which means, in effect, that we are determining what “time” it is.
But imagine if time is more wave-like. If you go down to the shore, you can stand near the water as the waves roll in.
But how do you look out at the water and see a wave approaching, how are you able to say “Well, that wave just hit me! and the time was XXXX O’clock”?
You can’t say that, no matter what definition you use for a wave, because a wave is spread over space and in a sense has no start or end!
The whole subject is fascinating. I am not sure we can ever understand it unless we look at our world and universe from a place that has more dimensions.
And thank you for your ideas!
