The next time you look at a star, remember: The light from that star took millions of years to reach you. During that journey, it existed as a wave of probability. And then, just for a nanosecond, it landed on your retina. In that moment of measurement, a trillion-to-one possibility collapsed into the definite sensation of light.
We walk around believing the world is full of "things" with fixed properties: this table is brown, this coffee is hot. Quantum physics reveals that these properties are not intrinsic to the objects. They are the result of the object's interaction with your measuring tools (your eyes, the light). Color, solidity, and temperature are relationships between you and the world, not things in themselves. the secret of quantum physics
Before we dive into the secret, we have to understand what classical physics taught us. Isaac Newton gave us a universe of clockwork. If you know the position of a planet and its velocity, you can predict its future forever. Reality, in Newton’s world, is deterministic and realistic . "Realistic" means that the moon has a position and a mass whether you are looking at it or not. The next time you look at a star,
So, why should you care? How does the secret of quantum physics change your daily life? In that moment of measurement, a trillion-to-one possibility
