LETS GOO A HELPLINE
YESS
I need help with my paper I'm writing, I tried to get someone else to help but they just banned me from their server. :( cough cough @System64 cough cough plz unban

Can you check if everything is right?


An invitation-only conference held back in 2011 on the topic "Quantum Physics and the Nature of Reality" (QPNR) saw top physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers of science specializing in the meaning and interpretation of quantum mechanics wrangling over an array of fundamental issues. An interesting aspect of the gathering was that when informally polled on the main issues and open problems in the foundations of quantum mechanics, the results showed that the scientific community still has no clear consensus concerning the basic nature of quantum physics.


Quantum mechanics (QM), together with its extensions into quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory, is our most successful scientific theory, with many results agreeing to better than a part in a billion with experiment. However, at its roots QM is ghost-like – when you try to pin down just what it means, it tends to slip between the fingers. It is full of apparent paradoxes, incompatible dualities, and "spooky actions." Simply put, although QM works amazingly well, why and how it works remains elusive.


While it's unlikely that many physicists lose much sleep over the meaning of quantum mechanics, the advent of quantum information physics (quantum cryptography, quantum computing, etc.) has directly confronted them with many fundamental questions about QM. Quantum mechanics works regardless of interpretation, but our intuition seems to be very weak when applied to situations that bring out the stranger aspects of QM. As a result, the amount of effort applied to clarifying the foundations of QM has increased considerably over the past three decades.

What, then, does the QPNR poll tell us about the state of our knowledge of quantum mechanics? While it is impractical to poke into every nook and cranny of the poll, the answers to a few of the questions merit our attention. (Note that people were allowed to vote for more than one answer, so the percentages in the source sometimes do not add up to 100 percent. I have taken the liberty of normalizing the results so they do equal 100 percent, and in some cases I have simplified the issues to more clearly state the options.)


Introduction to QM
We'll start with a QPNR poll question about the quantum measurement problem, as this will provide the opportunity to introduce some of the main concepts in QM. In QM, the wavefunction of an object describes all measurable properties of that object. It is a complete description of what is called the quantum state of that object. The wavefunction is governed by the Schrödinger equation, which tells the wavefunction how to change in response to external conditions.

The mathematical details are not important right now, save for one – the Schrödinger equation is a linear equation. If you add together several different solutions to a linear equation, that sum is also a solution. This is called the principle of superposition, and is not a physical result, but rather a property of the basic mathematical structure of QM. The implication is that there exist a class of wavefunctions, called quantum superpositions, which simultaneously describe multiple quantum states of an object.

Let's put an object into a superposition, measure it, and see what results are found according to standard quantum mechanics. Begin with a red QM ball and a green QM ball that are otherwise identical. Set them each rotating with two quanta (one quantum is considered half a unit) of angular momentum (which we will call spin) so that the red ball has its spin up, while the blue ball has its spin down. The quantum state of the two balls before they interact is red-up + blue-down. If you measure the spin of the two balls, you will find the red ball always has a spin of +1, and the blue ball always has a spin of -1, making the total spin of the pair equal to zero. This is important because the total spin of a system is constant in QM.

Thats all I got for right now, can you check if my paper is well written?
you made me waste 10 minutes reading this shit when ive been out of school for 4 weeks
 
System is a newgen random that joined the forums not too long ago. he's clueless and says things that makes people hate him
I'd appreciate if you could shut up, ignore me on forums, and not reply with this, considering that message is correct. I don't understand why you hate me, just ignore me so we can both be happy thank you
kinda funny because I have a math test which I haven't studied for today, but it is an easy topic "probability"
Want some help?
 
ive been on this forums for atleast 12 months and i still dont have well-known member tag my life is sad
i think i joined after 3 days of the initial release of the forums, i think you gotta be pretty active to get that tag
 
Well known can be obtained in as quick as 10 days.
If you get well-known in 10 days you might as well sit inside and stare at a wall. No, the Invaded forums isn't worth it. Only part I'd say is worth it is the community help section which is pretty cool, otherwise forums is just filled with cancer like System64 who posts the most random shit to farm posts it's pretty sad to see actually.
 
thats not easy to do
It depends

I dunno if you've noticed, but the threads about ships and other stuff are not from me. I don't really understand where you got that from, considering I've been working to do the exact opposite, reaching a like to message ratio similar to yours. I'd appreciate if you stopped throwing random insults at me and instead calmly let me know where I should improve, by telling me what not to do. Also, my profile is my profile, so if I post anything random there it's my profile. I haven't made a thread in quite a while, dunno if you've noticed - you might've been too busy creating toxicity. Also, I got well known with 250 likes.

The only reason you got well-known for 250 likes isn't because people like your content, it's because they like it to make fun of you. If you hadn't noticed only a small portion of this forums likes you and your bad posts, like the other cancer posters like Doodles4, and Unnamedguy. The fact that you even have 3,715 posts shows that you should probably invest your time in something else other than a minecraft forums. Want an area to focus on to improve? Not replying to posts with random garbage like "Well-known can be gotten within 10 days". That doesn't help anyone and makes you look like a total fucking ****** lmfao. I know you're foreign, and you aren't the brightest, but try at least spending your time on something else.
