Quantum Principles - 4 Pillars and Schrödingers' Cat
This evening I managed to get back from the NEC in time to jump online with you at home - and as I was on my own tonight I went into explaining the 4 Pillars of quantum mechanics and added a bit about Schrödinger's Cat as his 'thought experiment' (no cat was harmed as it was never performed) linked into wave-particle duality and superposition - and a bit of uncertainty too, now I come to think about it.
I promised a link to Schrödinger's Wave Equation in the video and here it is.... taken from Wikipedia as the links there will lead to as many rabbit holes as you'd like to explore. The founding fathers I speak of were all active physicists at the same time, the mid-1920s to 1930s (many are mentioned and linked in that Wiki entry). Richard Feynman is a bit of an exception - he was around later than the rest. Born in 1918, he would have been a kid when quantum mechanics was forged by the Masters, but he came along to make significant contributions later and was a joint Nobel Prize winner in 1965.
I'm putting this one on Quantumology's YouTube as the death of Wol, my faithfully camera-loving tawny owl, has put me off making any more for a while. This can be the start of a new era - I'll record here, and put them on YouTube - no-one else will be in the recording without express consent. I'll be editing them on IMovie before they go public there - the originals will only be on here. Should Coffee Hours hot up with a regular crowd, I'll do separate recordings on here for YouTube conversations and those who would like to be on those can join in as they wish.
Hope you get a few minutes to watch and let me know your thoughts.... from next week these will become Coffee Breaks and be half an hour long unless we get into conversation and overrun, which is fine by me. I'll still be giving ten minutes' grace from start time before coming offline if nobody arrives.
Warmest wishes all! see you soon x
