aint no way bro really said 🥺

It's funny because the entire idea was the basically say "hey, this idea is stupid" and then a bunch of quantum physicists went and found that that stupid example might actually be how quantum particles worked. I took quantum mechanics a few years back (before changing majors to chem because I'm not smart enough for this shit) and one of the hardest things to wrap my head around was the concept of observation.

I am still confused why they used the terms "observation" When in actuality it's more of "interaction" With the objects

That high school girl had better be careful around Schrödinger, if you know what I mean.

I'd like a pet maxwell's demon. Think of all the money I'd save on energy costs

I would totally read a series of schrodinger and other historical figures fawning over cute pets lol

No, it's literally observation. Until the results are observed, it is actually in a superposition between being true and false. The example we were given is the glove box example, where if a pair of gloves were put into two boxes, one for the left and one for the right, and then separated over a long distance, until the first box is open and which half of the glove is actually observed, it is quite literally both at the same time (not considered, it straight up is), and the other box is the same case, which sounds stupid, until you realize, once again, that's how atoms actually work at a quantum level.

There's a great documentary on this on YouTube called Quantum Theory. It's a bit outdated and doesn't cover some recent discoveries in the field, but it's a great crash course into it if you are interested.

hey, heads up. i updated the TL notes page with some extra facts a reddit commenter pointed out (again. same guy who helped out on chapter 22. unpaid labor my beloved ❤️)

here's the old version of it, if anyone wants to compare. (the "achilles heel" and the "related ideas..." sections were rewritten from the ground up; minor other changes here and there)

Spoiler: old tl notes page

(i'll mention this in the comments of next chapter too)

hey, FURTHER heads up: ch33 raws released yesterday (june 4th) but i won't be getting to it in a while, expect to see it in a few weeks at the earliest. cheers
