Quantum Mechanics

completely: coin is simple probability, quantum uncertainty is based on how increasing accuracy of measurement of one property of a tiny particle reduces the accuracy of measurement of another complementary property of the same particle. No probability there, just measurement limitations.

In linear systems, the superposition principle states that a defined function has similar properties in different settings. As an example, if f(A) produces result X, and f(B) results in Y, then f(A+B) equals X+Y.

The sun's radiation comes as 45 percent visible light. 40 percent infared, and the remainder as Ultraviolet.

This is why the Sun is damaging to our eyes as well as skin while giving us the light we need.

The energy required for a spaceship to travel at 90 percent of the speed of light would be substantial due to the relativistic increase in kinetic energy as speed approaches the speed of light. The energy required can be calculated using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, E=mc^2. The exact amount of energy would depend on the mass of the spaceship and would be calculated as the difference in energy between its rest mass and its kinetic energy at that speed.

Quantum tunneling is important for various processes on Earth, such as nuclear fusion in stars, radioactive decay, and chemical reactions. It allows particles to pass through energy barriers that would be impossible based on classical mechanics, enabling these essential processes to occur. Without quantum tunneling, Earth and life as we know it would be significantly different.

Einstein's quantum theory of light, proposed in 1905, describes light as consisting of particles called photons that carry energy and momentum. It explains various phenomena such as the photoelectric effect, where light can eject electrons from a material, and the quantization of light energy into discrete packets.

The quantum number ml = -1 represents the orientation of an electron's orbital in space. It indicates that the orbital is aligned along the y-axis in a three-dimensional coordinate system. This quantum number specifies the specific orientation of the orbital subshell within a given energy level.

Quantum decoherence (also known as dephasing) is the mechanism by which quantum systems interact with their environments to exhibit probabilistically additive behavior. Decoherence can be viewed as the loss of information from a system into the environment.

Mutual annihilation is the term we usually apply in physics to the combining of a particle and its antiparticle. Under the circumstances, the particles are completely converted into energy. That is, their entire mass is converted into electromagnetic energy. Let's look a bit more closely.

What we usually encounter is mutual annihilation events in the form of positrons interacting with electrons. The positron is the anti-particle of the electron, and shortly after the creation of the positron (either in beta plus nuclear decay or pair production), the positron will "combine" with an electron, and both particles will be completely converted into energy. This energy appears in the form of two energetic gamma rays going in opposite directions. Each gamma ray has an energy of about 0.511 MeV, or more, depending on the kinetic energy of the positron and electron that interact to release them. Links can be found below for more information.

In fact, the laws of motion do apply; you just have to be careful which set of laws you use. Newtonian laws of motion do not apply to light or to the movement of atoms, but relativity theory applies to light, and quantum mechanics applies to movements at the atomic and sub-atomic levels.

Max Planck's constant, denoted by the symbol h, is a fundamental physical constant used in quantum mechanics to relate the energy of a photon to its frequency. It has a value of approximately 6.63 x 10^-34 Joule seconds.

Neutrino modulation of certain individuals via the pineal gland and/or the hippocampus is under intense investigation.

Cosmic ray wavelet resonant dispersion diffraction is another contender.

Resonant semi-singularities due to interaction of the ambient omnipresent EMF may play an important consideration further down the line.

I personally hang my hat with the neutrino proponents for just now.

John Carpenters Prince Of Darkness references to the neutrino radio were quite precocious at the time.

The four quantum numbers are:

1. Principal quantum number (n) - symbolized as "n"
2. Azimuthal quantum number (l) - symbolized as "l"
3. Magnetic quantum number (ml) - symbolized as "ml"
4. Spin quantum number (ms) - symbolized as "ms"

A lot of high-power particle Physicists in the world believe that the chances are pretty good, otherwise CERN would not have pumped $10 billion and counting into the LHC so far.

A great deal of money has been invested in making these experiments possible, chiefly in hopes of observing the elusive Higgs particle, so scientists are very hopeful about it. But as always with experimental science, we shall have to see what the actual results are.

The wave function of a single electron in the universe describes the probability distribution of finding the electron at a given position and time. It is a mathematical function that contains all the information about the electron's quantum state. The wave function evolves over time according to the Schrödinger equation.

The equivalent dose measure, which attempts to relate various forms of radiation in terms of the damage they do to living tissue, rates a neutron with an energy of less than 10keV as having a value of 5. This is compared to X-rays and gamma rays, which are both rated at 1. A thermal neutron has an energy of about 0.025 keV.

It should be pointed out that this is a very, very rough assignment of value. Also, thermal neutrons are difficult to detect, and since they are not usually tested for in such an environment as a nuclear power plant, where they are most likely to be found, there may yet be things to be learned about them.

Strictly speaking, precisely nothing. However, there is a dimensionless constant that happens to have a value close to 1/137 (but not exactly). For some years it was thought that it was exactly 1/137, and the myth has stuck.

Beta wavelengths are not stronger than visible light. In fact, beta waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and energy than visible light, but they are generally weaker in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause biological damage compared to visible light.

The Planck curve declines after reaching the peak wavelength because the intensity of radiation decreases as the wavelength increases. This is due to a decrease in the number of photons emitted at longer wavelengths.

The possible values for the magnetic quantum number (m1) for 8s electrons range from -0 to 0, which means there is only one possible orientation in space. The m1 quantum number specifies the orientation of the electron's magnetic moment in an external magnetic field.

We now know there are are six quarks (or called flavours of quarks), which are grouped into 3 pairs (or generations); up & down, charmed & strange and top and bottom. It is these fundamental particles which form neutrons, protons etc, which are collectively known as hadrons, (it is mainly the up and down which form the world around us). The quarks are peculiar as they posses a charge which is a fraction of that for the electron. There are two types of hadron, the Baryon which is a system of three quarks (e.g. the proton) or Mesons, a two quark system containing a quark - antiquark pair (e.g. the pion or pi-meson).

Leptons are particles such as muons and electrons, there are 6 leptons in total, each with their anti-lepton counterpart. For the electron, muon and taon (which are referred to as different flavours of the lepton) there is a corresponding neutrino (a lepton) associated with it.

Difference between the two: Leptons do not participate in the strong interaction and are generally not seen within the nucleus.

Bosons are often force carrier particles (these are typically referred to as gauge bosons). In the prevailing Standard Model of physics, the photon is one of four gauge bosons in the electroweak interaction; the other three are denoted W+, W− and Z0 and are responsible for the weak interaction.

While the depiction of quantum physics in the TV show "FlashForward" may not always be completely accurate, it is used as a plot device to explore themes of consciousness and determinism. As with many science fiction shows, creative license is often taken for the sake of entertainment.

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that combines quantum theory with wave motion of atomic particles. It provides a mathematical framework for understanding the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels.
