What is Quantum Theory?
Qunatum Theory is a Scientific theory that is used to explain the nature and behavior of matter and energy on an atomic and subatomic scale. To put it simply it is a theory of the behavior of very small things.
Atoms And Molecules
Quantum Theory can be used to explain the behavior of atoms and molecules.
Quantum Teleportation
- Is Star Trek Style Teleportation Achievable?
Will we be saying 'Beam Me Up' in the future?
Subatomic Particles
Quantum Theory is used to explain how Subatomic Particles behave. This inturn can help us to understand the universes early years.
Evolution Of The Universe
- The Universe: From the Big Bang to the Present Day
The History of the Universe and some theories on how it began. - What Was The Early Universe Made Of?
What made up the early universe before stars and planets formed? - How Did The Universe Begin
We are here but how did this come to be? These are my views on the subject of creation and the big bang.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
In 1927 Werner Heisenberg introduced the world to the Uncertainty Principle. It it he showed that the more precise we are at determining the position of a particle, the less precise we will be at calculating its speed and vice versa. In essence we can only know its location or speed at any one time, not both.
In the equation on the right Δx is the Uncertainty in Position and Δp is the Uncertainty in Momentum.
Schrödinger's Cat
This is a thought experiment that was created by Erwin Schrödinger the Austrian Physicist in 1935.
The theory is that if you place a cat in a box with a flask of poison connected to a radioactive switch then you would not know if the switch was flicked and the flask broken. So the cat could either be alive or dead. Or alive and dead at the same time.
Great Books on Quantum Physics
The problem with Quantum Theory is that on its own it is incompatible with Relativity. So to connect these two main theories of Physics we need another one that is compatible with both.
