5 facts to know about quantum consciousness theory.
Close your eyes, guys, and open them again Is the world you see being created by the reason you see it? Is your consciousness playing an important role in creating this world for you? Well, it’s a very strong, even complicated thought. But then why is it that the founding fathers of quantum mechanics,
They all used to think exactly this way, and they all used to believe exactly in this idea.
Well, even in ancient Vedic philosophy and Vedanta philosophy, the universe has been called an illusion. So has the time finally come when science and religion finally become one?
Why is there light on Earth, but space is dark for kids?
Will science and religion finally become one? Well, you will get the answer to this very soon. But first, let’s understand why the scientists of quantum theory believe in such a supernatural concept. Because, generally, as you know, science does not believe in supernatural, conscious, or spirit-like things, has any mistake been made by these scientists? So, to understand this, we have to start from the beginning of this whole mess, which is the most powerful and miraculous experiment in history, the Double Slit Experiment.
What is the Double Slit Experiment?
Now, many people must have heard about this experiment many times, but trust me, there must be someone who understands every secret of it, but trust me, there must be someone who understands every secret of it. So we will publish this experiment once and for all with its proper interpretation and understanding in your mind because it is the backbone of quantum theory. It also proves that reality is the things happening around us, the things that are present that we can see—all of this is a specific illusion.
Once again , the quantum theory father believed in it. A few centuries ago, the situation was such that some basic things about the universe, all the great physicists were confused about its nature. They were not able to understand that light is a particle or a wave. That is, it behaves like a particle in nature or like a wave. Now, my scientific-tempered friends, as you know, experiments have the greatest importance in science.
Experimental results are given the most weight as evidence. And experimentally, whatever experiments the scientists were performing, something was coming in front of them that the lights were showing duality. That is, at some point, it is acting like a particle and acting like a wave.
As if, at some point, a coin is showing both sides. that is, at that time, there was such an environment that, let’s say, one physicist is saying that your shirt is white and the other is saying that seeing some shirt, it is black and not only saying but also proving in the form of experimental results, So, how can one thing have two different natures? Well, to understand this, we have to understand what the scientist means. In those experiments in the late 17th century, scientists were divided into two groups.
Group A and Group B
Among them, Group A, which believed in the Newtonian concept, believed that light is a particle. Group B, led by Dutch physicist Christian Huygens, believed that light is a wave And both had solid experimental evidence.
Now, the leaders of both of these groups, i.e., Newton and Huygens, had given their theories some time ago. However, because Newton was a prominent physicist, he accepted his particle theory. Now, this claim of his is because, in the early 19th century, one of the other such experiments was conducted, which proved light as a wave. The first experiment was done in 1804, when British physicist Thomoms Young, for the first time, through a double-slit experiment,
Showcase the destructive interference pattern of light. The second experiment was done in 1819, when French physicist Fraco Arago, through his paisson spot experiment, showed the constructive intelligence pattern of light. This constructive and destructive interference pattern is formed when two waves, respectively, either merge or cancel each other out.
That is, they are created by waves. So, because of these two experiments, Christian Huygens’s theory finally got the limelight. And due to his score of 2 being equal to 0, Huygens’ wave theory ruled for the next 100 years. So the score has been 2-0 until now. Right? But the picture is still there, friends. Now, you have to see how the particle theory covered it up. So the 20th century came after this, and at this time, two such experiments were conducted, which, even unwillingly, brought Newton’s particle theory back to light.
The first experiment was done in 1905 by the one and only Einstein, which is called the photoelectric effect, in which he showed that light collides with electrons in the form of particles and throws them out of their atoms.
And it can throw. So, there is an interaction, which can only be done by a particle. And the second experiment was the Compton Scattering experiment of 1923, in which physicist Arthur Compton demonstrated
that x-ray light transfers its energy to it when it collides with electrons.
After these two demonstrations, Group A and Group B now had one theory and experimental evidence, and the score was now equal to 2-2 Now, all they needed was a tiebreaker.
What is a tiebreaker?
For the next few years, a lot of effort was made to find this tiebreaker. But a solid tiebreaker was nowhere to be found. The arguments and experiments on both sides were quite strong, and the experiments to support both theories would get some results even if they were stopped multiple times. This means that there were no mistakes in both observations. And that’s why, finally, all the physicists unanimously agreed that light probably shows a dual nature. Light is dual at some point; particles and waves exist in nature in the form of both of them.
This belief is now a major turning point in the world of physics. Here, the first chapter of denouncing the reality of this universe ended, and physics finally moved on to its second chapter, which was understanding matter.
What is matter?
Till now, we have talked about light, right? Now, it was time to understand matter, particles, atoms, quarks, and electrons. So, scientists understood that light has a dual nature. But after this observation, physicists started thinking for the first time: if in Einstein’s photoelectric effect experiment, the photon knocks out an electron, what if it also shows a mixture of a wave and a particle, or a dual nature, like light?
In 1924, right after Compton’s Scalteris experiment, famous French physicist Louis de Broglie hypothesized that if light can show wave-particle duality, then can’t normal matter
