Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Do you have any resources for a simplified explanation of the Planck constant and schrodinger's equation? Wikipedia is doing my head in.

Thank you everyone! On another note, I recently read up about schrodinger's cat and a scientist talking about how we will never die within our 'parallel universe' or whatever you like to call it because there are always several scenarios and you can never die from your POV. I find such theories annoying but intriguing because as soon as such multiple dimensions were created then we would be allowed to view only one. Does this mean that the universe literally revolves around you? Everything depends on your actions.... Could this be somehow related to Black Holes. If this is taken to Young's slit experiment, how can we still see both things (if you do not think about normal quantum mechanics [which I understand, please don't explain that] but think about this 'pseudo theory')

Hello, I've heard lots of credible sources pointing out that part of Einstein's theory of relativity is false (in the case of singularities) but I have found nothing in writing to prove this. Can anyone provide anything?

Hello, my godmother's/aunt's husband is working on developing the MRI scan. I am going to have a talk with him quite soon about this, since I'm hugely interested in this topic but could anyone please supply me with background information or progress? I can't seem to find any. I apologize if I do not type back in return lengthy replies, but my space bar key is broken, forcing me to type such a text in an extremely large length of time. ~Cyf

So if you took the question 'how long is a piece of string'. You might SAY it's 100mm or whatever but in fact it's infinite as you can ever get smaller and more localized, emphasized by the wave-like fuzziness of the field?

oh noes .__.

I apologize, I knew that a van der graff generater produced electricity but in full honesty I never considered that as sinister, I fully meant it as a joke, and if it was interpreted in another way I am sorry.

Arsenic, so useful but deadly.

Try, at least...

I'm still wondering why the only photos of such 'supernatural' things are in low resolution. Surely this must mean something? Half the people in the world that have a camera have a camera that is of high quality. And where are the journalists that never go anywhere without their 20megapixel cameras? As for the religious and spiritual side of this, I won't get into an argument, it'll just draw out too long and be pointless. One thing I do appraise religion for is it's ability to produce workers which spend their time doing nothing productive, just immersing themselves into philosophy to create 'comebacks' for proofs. ~Cyf

Finally my teacher agreed to meet up with me! Explained a lot of things, posed more questions and told me to research various things such as Planck's law and Schrodinger's equation (I knew about the cat, but never that it was related to this). I fully understand interference and I've had my questions on a vacuum answered. I was only disappointed in myself since I couldn't ask several questions due to me being unable to think of a way to phrase them. And quite stupidly, near the end I messed up creating mass the subject in Einstein's famous equation... I was very tired... Before I pose more questions do you know where I could find a place for questions in Chemistry up to A-Level standard? I've been practicing with my school as I've been selected for a competition but I've run out of sites! This is probably in the wrong section, I apologize.

By waves adding, do you mean they heighten in intensity? Usually I would say age does not matter but for once I'm lost, I'm 13. Please could you explain these either more in depth or simplified? This is what I meant, that this one photon must be in two places in the same time. But, how is it possible that it causes interference? I understand it must be in two places for it to pass through both slits, but at the point of interference it must be in a single place, so why cause interference? Before there might be interference from it being in two different places but at this point, it HAS to be in one place. Sorry this paragraph isn't well defined, I don't really know how to voice my current thoughts. Could you explain the problems this experiment encounters? What do you mean by quantized and localized? I can think of various definitions but I'm not sure whether they are correct. Waves cover a large area? I've been severely mislead, I, to this point, believe that all waves are high-stream gamma-like directed waves. Those the area affected by the wave depend on (a rubbish example, sorry) the volume of sound? What I mean is, if, on a graph the trough and such is further from the middle line, does this affect the area it is passed through? Please explain the electrons part, I do not have an idea at all of what you mean there, apart from the 'when you try and interact with them'. By this do you mean, try to observe them? If interference is done in a vacuum, how can there be a region of destructive interference? Thanks for answering all my questions so fast. Many thanks. ~Cyfer/Mukilab

Hello everyone, This forum has finally helped me to answer nearly all my questions, which even my teachers could not help me with. One question remains unanswered to me though. I was recently told of the experiment to prove the quantum mechanics theory of atoms being everywhere at the same time, literally. Since I don't know the name I'll try to describe it. You have a material with two gaps near the middle, at the exact same distance from the middle as each other. Particles, whether photons or something else it does not matter are fired at one of the holes and as it comes out the other side an interference is causes (I'm unsure of whether this technical term is correct). This interference can only be caused by two atoms (hitting?) each other, proving that atoms can be in several places at the same time. But the question is. What is the product of this interference? Energy? Mass can't be destroyed without trace and if the waves are at the highest and lowest points than all you'll get is a straight line... On another, separate note; if an atom can be in one place at any given time than will it have the same probability to be in another place? How can we calculate this probability but never observe two positions at the same time? I've heard several people talking about the existence of parallel universes and their argument of never seeing these universes (assuming that quantum mechanics can be enlarged, which it can't due to gravity) is that you can't observe an atom in two places at the same time. So let's say we observed that parallel universe than ours would not exist to us anymore? Does anyone have an example, simplifying this? ~Cyfer/Muki EDIT::: sorry the title was meant to be: Product of Interference
