The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as well as wave-particle duality prevent any form of determinism at the quantum level. This is because Newtonian determinism requires the position of matter to be certain and HUP makes the position of matter uncertain and Wave-Particle Duality questions whether something has mass at all in a given location.

Why was quantum mechanics invented?

Quantum Mechanics is one of the three branches of Modern Physics, being the other two, Classical Mechanics and Relativist Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics is needed to learn the intimate behavior of the smallest particles existent: subatomic particles. It deals with the interaction amongst, the forms of energy they receive and deliver, and the way they emit energy, a way done in packets, or quanta, also called photons. Quantum Mechanics is one of the base knowledges for the design of modern electronics.


Why don't i understand quantum theory?

Quantum Mechanics is inherently difficult to understand. In fact the well known physicist Richard Feynman, an expert on Quantum Mechanics, said: "It is safe to say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics."


Could the power-puff girls stop a tornado?

Within their own universe that is, to some degree, governed by cartoon physics they probably could. They probably could not stop one operating on real-world mechanics.


In quantum theory are all objects round?

Answer (1):I apologize for my answer but physicists assume everything is round. It just makes the math easier.Answer (2):Saying that an object is round suggests that it can be observed (seen, touched, tasted... well maybe not tasted). Quantum theory describes the behavior of objects too small to be seen, even in principle. Unfortunately it is impossible to even imagine what an electron "looks" like. This fact does not stop us from attempting to imagine it, and what we produce in our mind's eye is an electron that looks like a sphere of charge, or an electron that looks like a cloud of fog distributed through space, or some other model of an electron which is in some way not entirely correct.


Do electrons stop moving at absolute zero?

Theoreticaly the whole atom would stop vibrating but in the real world it is impossible to reach absolute zero. The normally straight line graph of vibration against temperature is fine until it gets close to 0 Kelvin. The temperature gets caught in the half of a half of a half of a half and so on and you never get there.

What is stop and go determinism?

Stop-and-go determinism is a concept in philosophy that suggests that the universe operates according to a predetermined plan but can be interrupted or altered at certain points. This idea allows for the possibility of free will or random events in an otherwise deterministic framework.


Are you all a quantum equation?

No, stop being such a philosophical ashole!

Can you give me a sentence for flurry?

When the automobile comes to a stop, the mechanics perform a flurry of activities. That snowstorm was not much more than a flurry.


Can you use a stop leak product with synthetic?

Generally, I don't put much faith in stop-leak products. There's no such thing as a bottle of mechanics. It's at BEST a temporary fix, if it does anything positive at all.

97 Jeep Cherokee 8-cylinder automatic transmission fluid leak appears to be at front will a stop leak swell the seals and stop the leak?

depends how bad it is. most stop leaks are nothing more than brake fluid. old mechanics trick. ngz


How would you describe the concept of stop-and-go-determinism?

Lets take an example of Traffic that is regulated by lights on the cross-roads. Red light means 'stop' amber light provides a gap between red and green lights 'to get set' and green light means 'go'. The concept shows that neither is there a situation of absolute necessity (environmental determinism) nor is there a condition of absolute freedom (possibilism). It means that human beings can conquer nature by obeying it. They have to respond to the red signals and can proceed in their pursuits of development when nature permits the modifications. It means that possibilities can be created within the limits which do not damage the environment and there is no free run without accidents. The free run which the developed economies attempted to take has already resulted in the green house effect, ozone layer depletion, global warming, receding glaciers and degrading lands. The neo-determinism conceptually attempts to bring a balance nullifying the 'either' or dichotomy.


How many years do you have to go through collge to get your degree in mechanics?

It takes 5 to 6 years but by the way the cars are getting right now you never stop learning.


What are the mechanics of car brakes?

The way that brakes stop the car is by pressing on the pedal. This is something that you do everyday while in traffic. This is something you need to know in order to operate a vehicle.
