Could Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle be resolved if we had better tools to measure electrons?
>>
>>8527495
But then we wouldn't have free will asshole
>>
>>8527495
Literature says no
I say yes
>>
>>8527495
I can't even imagine what "better tools" would be able to do that

There are quantum mechanical reasons for the inability to measure electrons, if I recall correctly the foremost explanation is that at a quantum level the electron reciprocates with its observer somehow, which changes its momentum or position.

The double slit experiment is really fascinating and illustrates this better than I can.

>>8527545
how does uncertainty prove or even suggest free will?

>Heisenberg's
YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT
>>
>>8527560
Because then only one timeline is possible if randomness isn't possible.
>>
>>8527554
a one-eyed lesbian orangutan could illustrate that better than you just did
>>
>>8527565
How does the simple existence of multiple timelines suggest free will?
>>
>>8527568
dude that was mean...
>>
>>8527495
No. It is due to the wave nature of everything, shown/proven through something to do with fourier series. It a mathematical and physical limit.

My professor explained it in the following way:
Think of the MOST elementary measurement or observation you can do. For instance, looking at something sounds quite elementary. Now what does looking at something involve? Photons reflected from something enters your eye at an altered wavelength, right? When a photon collides with an electron, the electron's state will be altered. So you can bombard that poor electron with a lot of light, and you'll see where it is (kind-of, before someone jumps at my neck) , but you affect it so much, it'll be at a different energy level.

don't remember the last part of the analogy, but quantum mechanics is a bitch anyway.

>>8527495
No. Position and momentum do not commute.
