On one hand, Classical Mechanics deals with nature's phenomenon and happenings at a macro level and has a proper logic and reasoning to it.
whereas, Quantum Mechanics deals with particles on a micro, sub-atomic level and cannot be explained with a reasoning or logical theory.
Laws of physics & nature become invalid there.
In 1822, the Double-Slit Experiment lays the foundation of Quantum Mechanics, which is taken further by scientists Neils Bohr & Werner Heisenberg.
The Double Slit Experiment shows an interference pattern, when electrons are passed through the slits, which proves that electrons are behaving as a wave and not a particle anymore.
The next shocking twist came , when the scientists placed an observer near the slits to observe the electrons, and they saw that the electron again, started behaving as a particle.
But how is it possible? An electron does not have a mind of its own that it changes from a wave to a particle when we start observing it.
Bohr & Heisenberg proposed that on a quantum level, electrons exist in multiple places/realities at one time, known as a probability wave.
When we try to see/observe them, the probability wave collapses into a single reality due to our consciousness.
This was further illustrated by Schrodinger via his famous Schrodinger's Cat Experiment.
Schrodinger said that imagine a cat is locked in a box in which a poisonous gas flask is kept, which has a 50% chance of breaking. Now tell whether the cat will be alive or dead, without opening the box.
Schrodinger said that the cat is alive and dead at the same time inside the box, but as soon as we open the box to see it, the multiple realities collapse into one single reality, and we see the cat either alive or dead.
Quite astonishing to think, that everything around us exists in multiple probabilities, until we start observing them.
This concluded that all of us are not this body, we are all consciousness and this universe is in itself a big, living, conscious entity which can think, design, interact with us all.
We concluded that thoughts/consciousness gives rise to these multiple realities/probabilities.
Whatever we think instantly becomes a reality at a quantum level.
Let's understand it with an example. Suppose we think that the floor is made up of clouds. Then, instantly at sub-atomic level, quantum level, a reality where the floor is made of clouds, gases have already been formed, now if your consciousness or the combined consciousness of those who thought this is powerful enough, it will become a reality in this physical world too.
Hope you gained a great learning from this seminar. Join us to keep exploring and gaining meaningful insights of this universe.
