Is quantum mechanics a meme? >classical physics : Nothing

Look man if quantum entanglement actually worked we'd be using it by now

its a meme, nothing travels faster than light

>>7774587
No info is being transmitted though. It's 50% the same and 50% opposite

The idea of "harnessing" quantum entanglement is completely idiotic. Interaction collapses the entanglement, so the point is moot.

Ok, we need to stop the shitposting now.

>information
The quantum entanglement doesn't actually provide any information. All you can get from knowing the sequence of entangled particles' spins is that the other dude got the exact opposite of the sequence, however there's no information being transmitted because the sequence is random. Just the opposite random

"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."

"Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens. "

"There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear energy] will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will."

"The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices."

"I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning."

Guess who.

quantum entaglement is nothing but a meme. a badly named meme that describes a rather logical consequence, nothing is actually entangled.

>>7774587
All modern physics is a meme

>g-guys, let's say there was NOTHING - no time, no space - and then BANG - eveything appeared out of NOTHING. Cool, right?

Retarded?

Nothing in quantum mechanics travels faster than light, silly. That's not what entanglement means.

>>7774587
>quantum physics : it would appear information has traveled faster than light
this is why people hate pop-sci

>>7774617

Wrong. My shit travels faster than light after eating baked beans.

>>7774587
Quantum effects are errors
plank's constant is the equivalent of a bit
the speed of light is an artifact of the limit of processing speed

prove me wrong

>>7774587
Stop with this goddamn thread. Entanglement has nothing to do with faster than light travel. People who say that are idiot adults perpetuated by high school tumblr blogs.

Look up Cherenkov radiation. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Cherenkov_radiation

>>7776352
If quantum effects are errors, the entire universe is an error.
Plank's constant isn't the equivalent of a bit. That's why it's called a constant, dumbass. Bits by definition have more than one value.
The speed of light is an artifact of none of your popsci bullshit. There are galaxies that are moving away from us faster than light because space is expanding between us and them. Light travels fastest in the universe because its a form of electromagnetic radiation, whose particle (the photon) has no mass. Nothing can travel faster because nothing has less than no mass. Photons can be slowed, and even stopped. The speed of light in a vacuum is the ultimate speed limit of the universe, because it is representative of a particle with no mass and nothing to impede its travel. That's literally just a definition of the fastest thing possible.

If gravitons are found to be the force-carrying particle of gravity, then according to current theory, they will also be massless and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.

TL;DR The universe speed limit isn't c because that's the speed of light, light's speed is c because that's the universe's speed limit for massless particles without external forces.

This has been my fundamental failure to understand quantum mechanics.

If we can't interact with things that rely on quantum mechanics, what use can we have of it?

>>7776170
Are you baiting?
>>7776399
Quantum mechanics has been used to understand and create all sorts of things anon. Examples are atomic clocks and quantum computers.

>>7774587
Why do people never put the C constant? Sloppy math points to a sloppy mind....

>>7774587
quantum entanglement just means that two or more states representing quantum systems can't be factored apart into independent systems. Whoop-dee-fuckin'-doo.

If you actually care about the answer, spend some time studying tensors.

Pls tell me if this is a proper explanation:

imagine a group of x people gathered in a arc around a stage. everyone has the same distance to the stage.

a magician is doing a trick and the moment a lightbeam reveals the trick, everyone screams in awe.

now every individual observer would think he was the first to see the reavealing, because the information of sound (and also light) is still on the way.

so while the reaction of the other observers might feel slower to oneself, the revealing actually happened to everyone simultaniously.

I think because of this information can be considered faster than light.

>>7776429
This is the most idiotic idea I've ever heard.

If you're serious, you need to think harder for a second.

>classical physics : Nothing can travel faster than light

Except the propagation of gravity... right?
