“They found that ‘wave-particle duality’ is simply the quantum ‘uncertainty principle’ in disguise”

That was my understanding from college, decades ago. I suppose they formalized the connection.

maybe the good scientists will next be able to discover how O can be in our WH at the same time Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 is in our US Constitution?

How does a particle know what we think? Strange. :)

Irony:

Scientists that base their calculations on the “uncertainty principle” ridiculing the Christian faith.

tell them to use the new math of common core and I bet they’ll find the answer in no time.

Grrr. I was writing a paper on this (no joke). Ok, going back to the one on time dilation, black holes, and why singularities don’t exist.

They found that 'wave-particle duality' is simply the quantum 'uncertainty principle' in disguise, reducing two mysteries to one.

Nothing new here... my prof taught that to me in college 23 years ago, LOL!

Huh? Isn’t this what’s been understood for decades?

Ah...here’s the important part:

It’s possible to write equations that capture how much can be learned about pairs of properties that are affected by the uncertainty principle. Coles, Kaniewski and Wehner are experts in a form of such equations known as ‘entropic uncertainty relations’, and they discovered that all the maths previously used to describe wave-particle duality could be reformulated in terms of these relations.

Ok, then we want a refund of all the grant money handed out for this debacle.

Instead of not understanding two things, you now only have to not understand one thing.
