    Basically quantum systems are so small that we can't directly observe them or take exact measurements so we map out their behaviour as a probability gradient, where you're most likely to see something happen, basically, the probabilistic problem comes from humans, the fields aren't actual probability clouds and if you had the power you could measure exactly where what is at any given moment and what its properties are

            Subatomic particles don't exist, this has been my argument from the beginning. That is a picture of atoms. Based on what we can observe in these pictures there is no reason to assume anything about "electron orbitals." Atoms are atoms. They are the smallest component of matter we can observe.

            Scanning electron microscopes work exactly by focusing an electron beam which then gets reflected and absorbed into a detector, secondly, how would you explain radioactive decay then? Where do these magical, smaller than atom sized particles appear from?

            you need to prove something is causing the decay, you can't just say shit. all schizos just say shit here, they come from /x/ and /misc/ and just say stupid shit. you can do that if you want, but I'll just think of you as being another schizo moron

            You have to be trolling at this point, there's no way you can be this stupid, how about providing proof of an effect without cause and turning the null hypothesis into null theory? Oh that's right, you can't, because there is no effect without cause, because, surprise surprise, if you don't do anything then nothing happens, and likewise you can't make anything happen without doing something beforehand, not only is this a priori truth, it has been empirically observable for everything in reality so far.

            Not only is this completely irrelevant to the argument, fundamentality is not a proven theory, but a hypothetical concept and is a placeholder to "we don't know", might as well still claim that earth/fire/water/air are fundamental components of everything else or that humor imbalance is the cause of disease. If decay was a completely random process with nothing causing it then all elements would decay at the exact same rate and should exhibit alpha/beta/gamma decay at equal rates, which demonstratably doesn't happen, because surprise surprise, every effect has a cause behind it with specific input parameters, because things don't randomly happen for no reason.

            that is exactly wrong with radioactive decay, it just randomly happens with no reason. you can technically say 1st law of thermodynamics is not real because it just looks that way today but might change tomorrow. sure, you can use this angle but it's kinda cheap. unless you can prove otherwise it's random.

            Half-life is a (relative) constant due to averaging the field fluctuations of atoms - unstable elements have a field which is at best metastable, whose bonds are weak enough between given particles that they have a real possibility of not binding at a given time. This bond disruption is enough for decay to occur - worse bond overlap is negatively correlated with half-life (the larger the overlap, the longer the half-life). There's a reason why neutron:proton ratio is as important as it is, and it's because their subfields' (gluons, quarks) bond forces balance a certain way. An aggregate of neutrons will not bond and an aggregate of protons will have too strong of a repulsive subfield to overcome potential bonding. Electrons, being free quarks, do not have this problem, and this freedom accounts for the weaker interatomic bonding forces.

            Like it's the same phenomenon which comes from going between discrete and continuous space.

            You can't know with certainty the signal in the frequency and time domain. Just like you can't know the signal of particle with certainty in the space or momentum domain.

            Because we CAN'T observe the continuous state of the particle just like, once digitally processed, we can't examine the continuous state of a signal, literally there are infinitely many valid mean paths, not even accounting for actual noise uncertainty.

    Understanding quantum mechanics can indeed be challenging, and the apparent contradiction between the probabilistic nature of quantum fields and the deterministic behavior of macroscopic objects is a common source of confusion. However, with some explanation, we can shed light on this apparent discrepancy.

    1. **Probabilistic nature of quantum fields:** Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles and fields at the smallest scales of the universe, where classical physics breaks down. In quantum mechanics, particles are described by wave functions that represent probabilities. For example, the position of a particle is described by a probability distribution, and when we make a measurement, we obtain a result based on the probabilities defined by the wave function. This probabilistic nature arises from fundamental principles such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the wave-particle duality of matter.

    2. **Deterministic behavior of macroscopic objects:** On the macroscopic scale, classical mechanics provides an accurate description of the behavior of everyday objects such as atoms, objects, planets, and stars. Classical mechanics is deterministic, meaning that if we know the initial conditions of a system precisely, we can predict its future behavior with certainty using Newton's laws of motion or other classical equations of motion.

    The apparent contradiction arises because classical mechanics emerges as an approximation or limit of quantum mechanics in the macroscopic world. In other words, macroscopic objects are composed of countless quantum particles, but their collective behavior averages out to produce deterministic outcomes that appear consistent with classical mechanics. This phenomenon is known as the correspondence principle.

    So, you're not "too stupid" to understand quantum mechanics— it's a complex and counterintuitive theory that challenges our everyday intuitions about how the world works. However, with patience, study.

    Study Stochastic Calculus and Digital Signals and quantum mechanics starts to make more sense.

    The reason why it's confusing is because people are afraid to make statements on what's going on, but essentially it's the same problem stock markets have. We don't OBSERVE the continuous state of an assets value, just like we CAN'T observe the continuous state of a photon. Because of this, between the discrete observations of the state (for example, between the hour to hour price of a stock) we have a gap of uncertainty. We don't know what happened between a stock being high hour 1 and a stock being low hour 2, we just know the path began and ended at those points. A similar thing occurs when you sample continuous acoustic signals from a mike into a computer. We literally drop information between the sample points (for many valid reasons) but that does create uncertainty even if there is no noise in your base signal.

    Now quantum mechanics follow similar problems, the difference is, we cant observe these continuous states at all. We can hear live music, we can understand the price of something as truly continuous with a continuous and known path, but we can't really make those statements with particles because we have no way of observing the continuous state... In other words, there are systems that act like stocks or music in a discrete/digital world but that ARE NOT continuous.

      To add even more to this, unless you have knowledge of the underlying continuous mechanics of a process, there are actually INFINITELY many different continuous mechanics that can satisfy discrete observations (and no I'm not talking about Stochasticity/randomness).

      A lot of times in these situations engineers will assume a mechanism of Zero Order Hold (ZOH) and just move on (this is typically what they do in control systems), but there are infinitely many valid forms that can result in the same output, with or without noise.

    neat, but the pattern of double-slit experiment is particles bouncing back and forth within the chamber (as opposed to the single slot, which is directly at the source.
    Just a guess.

    This thread is probably appropriate to post this IONS study i just came across in:

    >journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/download/2907/1937

    ... Some interesting statements from channelers about the natue of wavefunction collapse in there.

    "Infinite potentiality" is an absolute nonstarter of course, but they're also referencing the movie frame analogy along with enfoldment, venturing deeply into Bohm-inspired metaphysics

    Quite impressive if these channelers didn't have any prior knowledge of quantum mechanics and philosophy of science, might be legitimately sensed information from the other side in that case

      Gonna sound schizo here but if any of that is legit you've got a feasible backwards time travel mechanism right there.

    I wish my homie Tesla would've gotten his research into the nonphysical funded properly, but there were very ~~*powerful forces*~~ and financial interests alligned against him at the time

    its all deterministic

    physicists are just too stupid to figure out how to predict quantum experiments

    OPs pattern doesn't explain Quantum at all, it's actually wrong. He would require to add ze typical 'dark' segment to explain it. In fact, every reader is much dumber for having seen it, plus OPs shout in the wrong direction. I am dishonored.

    Do you see how that isn't weird at all now, OP?

    help I'm falling in love with a girl I run into less than once a week due to our talks about nuclear physics when she checks out at the store... moving in 2 months fairly far from here ;-;

      You're Satan. He's always gaslighting us about something. Real people just want to sit down. So, he uses gaslighting to kick our ass in an efficient way. This seems to be true. That's just the truth behind this place I guess. We have nothing, and he's also going to lie to us to make it worse. I'm being serious, the guy who wrote that isn't even real. I'm assuming one of you are real, but it's not looking too promising. I've met at least 50,000 npcs by now. These are humans who were actually Satan. Satan knows everything. I don't know everything. He's also lying about it, and pretending these people aren't him. I have really creepy background music playing by accident. It really sets the tone. I was making all this up, I merely have severe schizophrenia.
