Quantum theory is a field of science that has captured the imagination of physicists, philosophers, and curious minds alike. It challenges our understanding of reality, suggesting that the universe is far stranger and more complex than we can easily grasp. One of the most fascinating ideas within quantum theory is the concept that every possible … Continue reading quantum theory and infinite possibilities: are all outcomes already realised?

exploring quantum theory: the many worlds interpretation and the nature of consciousness
Quantum theory is one of the most fascinating and perplexing branches of science. Among its many mind-bending ideas, the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) stands out as particularly intriguing. This theory suggests that every possible outcome of an event plays out in its own parallel universe. As unique individuals, we might wonder whether we are experiencing … Continue reading exploring quantum theory: the many worlds interpretation and the nature of consciousness
quantum mist: how droplets form?
Quantum mechanics is one of the most fascinating, yet perplexing, areas of modern physics. It describes the behaviour of particles on an incredibly small scale – much smaller than atoms. In this strange world, particles don’t behave in the way that might be expected in everyday life. Instead, they act in ways that can seem … Continue reading quantum mist: how droplets form?
Quantum Wave Collapse: Do We Really Need Human Observation?
Explore the intriguing question of whether human observation is essential for the collapse of a quantum wave function. Delve into modern viewpoints like quantum decoherence and landmark experiments like the double-slit experiment to shift the paradigm from a human-centric viewpoint to a more objective, universal understanding of quantum phenomena.
parallels between quantum mechanics and stoic thought
Quantum mechanics, the realm of the subatomic world, and Stoic philosophy, an ancient school of thought, may seem like an unlikely pair. However, delving deeper into these subjects reveals intriguing parallels. In this blog, we embark on a journey to explore the surprising similarities between the observer effect in quantum mechanics and the core principles … Continue reading parallels between quantum mechanics and stoic thought
schrödinger’s cat: quantum curiosities explained
I like cats AND Schrödinger's Cat is one of the most intriguing thought experiments that sprung from the mind of Erwin Schrödinger, an esteemed physicist. It's a concept rooted in the mysterious world of quantum mechanics, and while it might sound daunting, it is entirely accessible with a bit of thought. Schrödinger's Cat: The Scenario … Continue reading schrödinger’s cat: quantum curiosities explained
quantum mechanics, the observer effect
Have you ever wondered how our observations can influence the behavior of particles at the tiniest scales? I have. I put this together to see who, what, why, when and where this all hangs together.Welcome to the fascinating world of quantum mechanics, where the "observer effect" reveals an intriguing connection between the act of observation … Continue reading quantum mechanics, the observer effect
