Radiation Just Broke Physics?—Scientists Are Stunned!
from Cosmos Science Hosted by Cosmos Science
Over time, through various experiments, we've discovered something interesting about tiny particles called quanta. These particles act like both waves and particles at the same time, and what we see depends on how we choose to measure them. From what we can tell, there isn't one fixed and certain reality that exists on its own; instead, it seems like the way we observe or interact with these particles plays a crucial role. In this Universe, it turns out you have to observe things to figure out what they are. So, when we conduct experiments and choose a way to measure these particles, it's like asking them, "Are you more of a wave or a particle right now?" Surprisingly, the answer depends on how we ask the question. This concept challenges the idea that there's one fixed and certain reality for these particles. I always find it absolutely mind-bending to think that all around us in every direction is the first light from the Universe. It’s taken 13.8 billion years to reach us, and although we need microwave eyes actually to see it, it’s there, everywhere.
