Time travel and Quantum Theory weirdness

in #dtube7 years ago


A team of scientists has succeeded in putting an object large enough to be visible to the naked eye into a mixed quantum state of moving and not moving.

Andrew Cleland at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and his team cooled a tiny metal paddle until it reached its quantum mechanical 'ground state' — the lowest-energy state permitted by quantum mechanics. They then used the weird rules of quantum mechanics to simultaneously set the paddle moving while leaving it standing still. The experiment shows that the principles of quantum mechanics can apply to everyday objects as well as as atomic-scale particles.

The work is simultaneously being published online today in Nature and presented today at the American Physical Society's meeting in Portland, Oregon1.

Once they were able to operate in the quantum world, it was only a matter of time until the experiments were scaled up to larger objects. I'm sure they will soon move on to human trials. If they haven't already.

Well it still involves cooling objects down to near absolute zero. That can't really be done on Earth yet unless it's in a lab. Plus, that'd kill anything alive (or just suspend it).

Yeah soon the can move on to larger objects, but I think it should be a while before human testing. Maybe they are trying it on animals. That would be cruel though.
