Many Worlds v Copenhagen

[jazzy_dave]

I have a feeling that my bro will want to pick my brains on aspects of cosmology today. He has been trudging through the Stephen Hawkings book, A Brief History Of Time. In particular is the slippery subject of the Uncertainty Principle, and that includes the thought experiments of Erwin Schrodinger's Cat in a Box , and the opposing Copenhagen interpretation vs. The Many Worlds interpretation of quantum theory.

(Note - the Copenhagen interpretation is the one in which all particles are in a state of quantum flux, known as a superposition state,  until the observation of ithis flux forces it to collapse to one state.)


The other areas he will want too idscuss will be black holes, and the backbone to all quantum physics, Planck's Consatnt , which is defined as  about 6.62606×10−34 joule sec.

(Extra note - i wish there was devices to plug into our brains to make us instant experts lol)

Same here, especially on these topics. I always end up frustrated about the many things we don't know, or can only theorize about. I always think if there is a heaven, mine will have a huge screen where I can watch everything that ever happened both in the world and in the cosmos, and all my questions will be answered.
