Interpretation of quantum mechanics

experiments on white blood cells showed that the nuclein dissolved in weak alkalies but not in water and acids. Later studies demonstrated that all living organisms have DNA and that any kinds of cell such as hair, skin, or plant cells all have DNA. Plenty of research and experimentation went into solving the structure of DNA and the invention of paper chromatography allowed Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) to make a contribution in establishing the structure of DNA and how it transmitted genetic…

influenced the shifting of societal norms. The works “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” and “On Exactitude in Science” by Jorge Borges epitomize the modernist shift by confronting the drastic scientific changes occurring during his time through surrealistic interpretations of reality and by raising different epistemological questions and the ethics of exploring the untamed recesses of science. During the time…

uses quantifiers in quantified modal logic range over all the possible objects (non-actual as well as actual). Whereas Lewis’s theory which holds the fundamental idea of the Many Worlds Interpretation has been used in many different ways in quantum mechanics but in particular the idea that every time a quantum experiment with different possibilities for outcomes is performed, all outcomes are obtained. But each in a different world, even if we are only aware of the outcome we have seen in our…

being said, now that I have learned a bit more about Hinduism, and now that I have been able to step back and examine my life, I find that there is much about Hinduism which I can thoroughly appreciate. The system of karma, the belief in an open interpretation of how Brahman can be seen in everyday life,…

Karl Popper, as part of his career long attempt to support empiricism in science, proposed a doctrine of falsification. This directly contrasts verification, a central theme to logical positivism. A claim is empirically verifiable if observation and experimentation produce statements which logically imply the truth of the claim. Popper rejected the logical empiricists' ideas given that “verificationism” does not allow for claims within a universal scope to be subject to verification.1 This is…

in science classrooms, jokingly sticking his tongue out, once stated, “The more I study science, the more I believe in God”. Einstein was a brilliant scientist most famously known for some of his discoveries such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the theory of special relativity, otherwise known as the formula E=mc2. There are many theories that he developed that discuss the scientific concepts and scientific research about the truths behind life and nature. What Einstein means…

During three of my four years of high school I took various forms of a biology class, beginning with “Biology Honors” my freshman year and moving on to “IB Biology HL I” in my junior year, followed by “IB Biology HL II” senior year. I recall freshman year paying little to no attention to the lectures I received in class. Instead, I’d write down song lyrics in my biology notebook and talk to the friends sitting next to me. Every exposition on photosynthesis or Latin nomenclature sailed through…

How viable is time travel? Time; it organizes our lives and universe into an ordered series of moments. At first thought, time is one of the most fundamental aspects of our lives and the world we know. However, time is in fact incredibly subjective; everyone experiences this indefinable concept differently. Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is based upon the idea of frames of reference. A frame of reference is where an observer is situated. In order to develop a universal concept of time…

Einstein stated, “the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.” In 1928, a clique of physicists in Denmark formed a group known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The group stated that elementary particles possess a fundamentally indeterminate nature. In disagreement, Einstein responded to the claim with, “God does not play dice.” Niels Bohr, a physicists among to group retorted, “Albert, stop telling God what to do.” In 1939, German…

They should be allowed to chose the topics that interest them. Boles also presents furthermore, “I wanted to skip the stuff that I could learn from the book (like acids and bases) and wallow in the stuff that actually required a teacher (like quantum mechanics). I wanted to do my homework during class. And sometimes I wanted to simply walk out of the most boring lectures. If Khan Academy had existed in the late nineties, I would have been all over it” (1). Many current students…
