  1. There are several quantum numbers used to explain the energy states of particles. For example, no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers in an atom. Now, I was wondering if the following "guess" I had about antimatter particles is plausible: a quantum number is added to "describe" the states of an electron and a positron, a quantum number that would have a two-valuedness with the purpose of "describing" one more degree of freedom, where, for example, an electron and a positron can't have the same set of quantum numbers and as a result these particles are observed as a matter/antimatter pair. Perhaps my "guess" is none other that the lepton number and I am overthinking it? However, do you agree if adding a completely new quantum number (to explain why the imbalance in matter and antimatter) is plausible?
  2. The results presented by this experiment are related to the famous Bohr-Einstein debates on the ultimate reality. It can also be tied to Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. Wigner made it more interesting by including, not only the observer and the observed, but also what role consciousness plays in observations and measurements. Some people might find these results compatible with the Many-World interpretation of quantum mechanics. Others would rather prefer the concept of "freedom of choice" to be either altered or abandoned. Now, I ask if objective reality doesn't exist, what do we mean by objective reality? Is a reality based on physical quantities a paradox for science? Does it mean that our interpretations of mathematical formulas are not unique?
