Not That Mysterious(Coming Soon . . .)

So much misconception about the Young's Double Slit! It's often thought that the electron can sense when it's being observed. Well, I can assure you, this is not the case because quantum mechanics is not spooky; it's just hard to understand intuitively. It’s not classical physics, it’s a microscopic world. 4. Quantum Mechanics is Extremely Predictive and is the fundamental principle of observation that made the wave function collapse not the spooky particle can sense nonsense.   is In this article, we will discuss it from the perspective of a physicist rather than an interesting YouTube video phenomenon.

The Cat isn't Alive

Image
Let's understand Schrödinger's cat experiment because there is so much nonsense around it in terms of interpretation that people literally think that the cat was both alive and dead at the same time.  People interpret this as the outcomes of collapsing wave function where the result was literally a dual state before the observation. None of these are correct interpretations because you think there is a cat but  there is no cat in the first place. It's just a thought experiment to understand how wave function behaves prior to measurement and even mathematically they collapse too when you calculate it on a piece of paper. ____________________________ This Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, proposed by Austrian-Irish physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, is actually meant to illustrate the paradoxes and strange implications of quantum mechanics over the macroscopic world and even in that he meant to make the superposition principle understand more intuitively. It's n...

The Unholy Trinity

Reading books doesn't give you an idea or a deep perspective about how they perform, but reading society or just glaring at this social construct you survive in will definitely tell you how they perform. What is an average life of an Indian man? They are born and they grow in a surrounding which was given to them, they never question the faith they were handed down by their parents, never question the idea of authority - why they have to respect or listen to some specific people and what allows some to override someone's authority. They go through the same classical treatment as their parents have gone through, with a bit of liberalisation or in some cases a more liberal approach. They get a degree, then a job, then they work relentlessly to get themselves more and more things their friends and family have acquired: a phone, a vehicle, and land or house ad their is nothing wrong in it unless you are not true to you own social oppression and defend it by any mean necessary becau...

Live and Prosper

This question was asked to me on Quora Hindi  'How can science systems be strengthened to be better prepared to deal with future global crises?'  I understand that firstly, we have to define what the future global crises and what the scientific systems are in a nutshell. People should have an essential understanding of Maslow's pyramid. With the ever-expanding population, the first thing we all are running out of is essential resources. Humans need to survive, and survival in civilisation exists on the cornerstone of essential psychological needs. As Maslow depicted, biological requirements will always be essential for human survival. I will theorise that with the increasing population, even in a distant future of the next 100 years, we will have a shortage of food, water, clean air, shelter, sleep, and clothing. Poverty is a man-made phenomenon that helps the elite and people in power dictate who and whom should be in power and control. Essential food will be provided to s...

Toy Story: A Reflection

Image
Note: If you have not watched the Toy Story movie series, this article is not for you. I don’t know how closely you have watched Toy Story, but for me, it was the first animation movie that detached me from reality for almost a couple of weeks. In my defence, I was a young kid, so it happens. The first Toy Story came out in 1995, and from that point onward, it has gathered a very loyal following and a fan base. There is Woody, a cowboy doll owned by Andy, a very sweet kid with lots of imagination. So, in a nutshell, you have to watch the movie at least the first one to literally understand the idea of this article. In the Toy Story universe, the toys are not just inanimate objects; they come alive when there is no one around. They talk, think, and literally ride a very intense human-like emotional roller coaster. Okay, so let’s set up a timeline first. In Toy Story 2, we find out Woody used to have his own vintage television show called Woody's Roundup. He was on even Yo-Yo, kids...

Brace Yourself

Death is so satisfying that even though I know that I don’t know how I will be reacting to it, I still demand it. It’s like a constant struggle with it—I know it’s there, and I know it’s not my time yet, but I ask for it to take me. I’ve read somewhere that the intense emotion of dying is the first sign of true intellectualism, but for me, it’s not about being intellectual. For me, it’s about the point where I just collapse and cease to exist. I sigh for the moments, sometimes wondering how beautiful it’s going to be. Existence is complex, it demands effort, but death is just uniquely linear. It came in the form of disease, famine, drought, war, and even from error—human or natural—yet the linearity is in the end goal. No matter what the process is, eventually, you will just die. Even if you know you live like a king or peasant, fool or thinker, beggar or rich, insensitive or empathetic, even if not consciously deep somewhere you know someday you will die. As a kid, I used to think tha...

Historically Speaking

Image
Every civilisation or geographically identified people go through certain phases of civilizational evolution. There needs to be an old history of being nomadic. A few nomads settle and become tribes. Tribes fight for control over geography and resources. A few stable or remaining tribes become political entities of some kind for structural leadership and later evolve to be small governed entities and communities. Then they go through the Iron Age, Bronze Age, and begin to identify geographically. Evolution happens with advancements in technology, agriculture, and societal values (unified morals, ethics, etc.) since agriculture allowed for more stable living conditions, leading to population growth and slow or maybe infinitesimal but a constant technological advancement (e.g. writing, metallurgy, architecture, art, martial art) laid the cornerstones for more complex governance systems. We're not going deep into an anthropological discussion, but hear me out. At certain points, this ...
