The idea that matter is mostly empty space is mostly wrong.
From Big Think: "Practically all of the matter we see and interact with is made of atoms, which are mostly empty space. Then why is reality so... solid?"
When I made the figure below I used LaTeX, powerpoint and then LaTeX again. Having learned some TikZ I now think I could draw it using TikZ, but apparently I'm too lazy...
Dear #writers
I'm begging you, please just talk to a behavioral scientist/psychologist before publishing. Or read a textbook. Read Wikipedia. Anything.
"Psychotic" doesn't mean what you think it does. No, that's not why therapy works. Your armchair theories about mental illnesses and substance use need to be updated or scrapped altogether. Freud's theories were never any good and haven't been relevant for decades.
While I'm here: you also might not know what "bemused" means, and even if you do, please limit its use to perhaps twice in one book.
"#QuantumPhysics proves that all events are random and nothing can be predicted."
The phrases above are how ridiculous it would look if certain #writers wrote about physical science without consulting an actual scientist or even reading a couple of Wikipedia articles, like they do about behavioral science.
Continuing the efforts for #quantumpoetry by bringing together works from #physics or #poetry that connect both fields. Today with a beautiful example by persian poet Rumi (DOB Sept 30 1207, elegantly translated by fabulous Coleman Barks). Please boost for better visibility in #quantumphysics and #literature ... @ChemicalEyeGuy@seanpatrickphd
Starting a new thread for #quantumpoetry ...finding either #quantum research or #poetry that connects both fields. Starting with the opening lines from "Leaves of grass" by Walt Whitman from the first Edition 1855 . Clearly visionary for quantum entanglements. Note: Please boost for better visibility. #poetrycommunity#quantumphysics#physics#literature
But, were not Discovery's computers upgraded to Quantum computers? So, it should have a capability to communicate using quantum entanglement and not subspace?

I was reading #Quantumphysicsforbabies to my 3 year old last night and made the mistake of using his magnets as an ex of + and - charge (ie protons and electrons). He asked the obv question "Papa why don't the elec stick to the prot?" and I tried to explain that they are too fast etc, but it made me think. Why don't the elec stick to the prot? I realize that elec have energy and thus orbit, but elec gain and loose energy all the time why not to the min energy state of 0?
Is Earth a “Goldilocks planet in a just-right Goldilocks universe?” The Dispatch’s Marvin Olasky writes about how quantum physics can push us to look up, in "desperate puzzlement." https://flip.it/Cy8d3D #Earth#Universe#QuantumPhysics
The book presents a multidisciplinary analysis of the context of quantum physics experiments and the function of the human mind that makes it possible to demonstrate that an object-based model of reality formed at the level of the unconscious is the basis of our worldview.
Youtube is full of breathless "science" reporting videos that are full of mostly nonsense, especially when anything remotely related to quantum physics is involved. They give questionable and misleading (if not outright fallacious) descriptions of physics and then uncritically accept the findings and most sensational interpretations of freshly published research papers that haven't been fully vetted or even reproduced by the greater science community. #science#QuantumPhysics
L'allemand Julian Voss-Andreae 🇩🇪 est un artiste à la trajectoire singulière : il a commencé sa carrière comme physicien quantique avant de se lancer dans l'art.
Voss-Andreae associe harmonieusement les concepts scientifiques à l'expression artistique. Ses sculptures deviennent un pont entre le monde tangible et le domaine immatériel de la physique quantique.
En voici une de ses œuvres. C'est une interprétation du paradoxe de la physique quantique ! Construite à partir de tranches de miroirs en coupe transversale, la sculpture semble quasi invisible lorsqu'elle est vue de face ou de dos et solide lorsqu'on se déplace sur les cotés.
Maybe not practical, but interesting. Compressing boson molecules in a container, then letting them expand by turning them into fermions.
"Instead of heat, this proof-of-principle microscopic engine runs on the energy difference associated with the statistical properties of quantum matter."
