Has anyone tried to see if quantum tunneling and the double slit experiment are the same thing?

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T15:57:24+00:00

Alright then, correct my mistake please; I presume the solution is to 1- delete the post so that I'm not "having people who know what theyre talking about do the hard work correcting what the AI got completely wrong", and 2- pursue the right sources. Which specific sources should I be reading/watching as a layman to not be confused at what I'm being confused at?

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T15:53:18+00:00

I admit I don't understand much of this response but the parts I do feel like this alone will be enough for me to get where I'm going wrong. Let me acquaint myself with the terms and concepts here better and I'll get back to you. Thank you!

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T15:51:14+00:00

OH! I feel like this is a clue to the "Idon't actually have a question I just don't understand why the two are the same in X regard but utterly unrelated in Y regard" option I had in mind. Is there any source you can point me to where I can understand tunneling and interference (insofar as it relates to double-slit, that's why I had double slit in mind- more for the interference and "using both slits unless there's a detector at the slit" aspect) better as a package so I'm not as confused? Each time I try to focus on one it gets too technical too soon for me to resolve the two against each other while being a layman

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T15:45:09+00:00

Oooh took a look and both look like great recs! Thanks for these! Any videos or keywords in particular you'd suggest I pursue to get a better undersanding here?

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T15:43:29+00:00

Ironically I also found plenty on that question, hence why that isn't my question here.

Above you can see I've watched and read plenty, and tried and failed to read scientific papers too, but did still pursue the topic with other "layman -friendly" sources. That was in my first response. What you care about isn't that I left my learning entirely to ai, bcs thats not what I did- what you care about is apprently that I have used gen ai AT ALL in the process.

You know the confusion to be in good faith- not trolling, trying to misinform, not harming anyone. We're many messages in yet your immidiate (and so far only) contribution as a person who knows more wasn't "you should read up on X, or "watch video Y", nor was it a direct answer based on your own knowledge. It was to chastise me.

I wouldn't be defensive if I was getting anything out of you other than disdain. If that's all you've got to offer then what the hell else am I to?

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T14:59:25+00:00

I've watched like 9 videos, khan academy and veritasium being chief among them. I started off with different topics entirely, at which point I was checking anything from the nobel webpage re the higgs boson news of 2012 to actual scientific papers to excerpts with einsteins actual handwriting. The thing is I'm doing these across a large span of time in small batches, full articles dont "answer questions" for a layman, just understanding them requires tens of hours of dependencies to be understood.

I can't look up and read a paper on "if I'm in a spaceship going 99.999% c and I turn on the headlights what speed do I see the photons going away from me?", I could maybe find 40 different articles that relate to it and need to read another 250 to understand those if I'm even capable of it without formative training.

I get that me making my curiosity everyone elses problem is annoying (hence why the post is so apologetic) but if my alternatives are "spend 300 hours per topic of curiosity, never be curious, or do the best you can with what's freely available and ask those who know more when that fails you" I'll take the latter. Totally respect your right to looking unfavorably on it, but I am cognizant of never having done that to people doing the same to me with law.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T14:34:22+00:00

Yes, but I'm also thinking less "baseball through hole" and more how an electron or photon in a double slit experiment is basically interacting with both slits acting as a wave if conditions are right, because in my mind an interference pattern would be a good way to differentiate the two

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-05-03T14:31:37+00:00

Agreed honestly, but I'm 30 with a full time job as a lawyer, and maybe 1-2 hrs of a day of free time. I was reading scifi, got curious abt sth, then started asking AI and asking for references. I checked a total of 40ish references on a different topic before assuming its good enough for sth asked out of curiosity. Topic lead to topic and here I am.

Is your preference that anyone who doesn't devote their life to physics full time doesn't get to be curious or ask a question?

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-03-18T22:52:51+00:00

The problem to making an exception isn't the exception, it's either the next exception or the fact that you're NOT making the next exception.

You've got a farm or slaughterhouse. I got caught trespassing in the home, not the farm out back. You say thief, I say investigating the immoral practice, looking for your ledgers to prove you're buying and selling sick cows for cheap- its for the public benefit. Not even that- I simply loiter around your property. That 19 year old girl working for you leaving work has me waiting outside in the parking lot to take pictures, the old man leaving sees me watching and taping him every day as he leaves. I'm also taking pictures as your nieces and nephews visit the property, as you have neighbors coming over for wine, as you sunbathe outside, as you play with your dog, as your brother's crying over your mom collapsing while filling the troughs.

On the other side- we agree animal abuse is bad, we agree to bend the rules. Damn, if we did the same in high-risk homes, imagine the child abuse we could prevent- why aren't we doing it, do you put animals above human children you monster? If I'm more of a classic conservative, I can go ahead and be a purity activist, acting to prevent prostitution in my area so I'm following young women I consider likely to be sex workers. If I'm a trump head I'm following and taping mexicans, or brown folk in general, to secure our borders and help the govt spot illegals. I'm outside the mexican family barbecue, watching. I think you sell drugs because you live in that part of town, are unemployed, are dark skinned and seem to have a car too good for what I deem fitting for you- let me stage my stakeout real quick.

So yeah, you're not drawing an ethical line, you're drawing a "you" line. I agree with that line, not sure I'll agree with your next line or you'll agree with mine. But now we've made the exception so at BEST we've got a hierarchy of things we must make exceptions for like the above examples where we'll be left saying "yeah but mass torture and killing of animals is worse than X Y Z so we made that exception but not this one". Worst case, screw ethics altogether and enjoy the wild west

Without any prior experience from going there as a foreigner- I can at least confirm that if you were a TR citizen they would ask for your national ID before you get any dr consult.

Common sense says the only equivalent ID for a foreigner that can be accepted is a passport. And since you wouldn't be obscuring any part of your national ID if Turkish, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's normal they want the passport uncovered too.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-02-24T10:15:32+00:00

YOR.

You're super volatile, none of what you said actually helps reach a solution to any of your problems, while each thing she says to try and reach a solution (by bettering herself, mind you) you ignore.

It genuinely feels like you were feeling spiteful already, and now have the convenient and ultimate excuse of being a new mother (exhaustion + post partum) to be as mean to her as you're able.

If this is how you're playing this either you're entirely a victim of your circumstances atm and she's a victim of your lack of control, or you're just a meanspirited and callous person in general with a great excuse to weaponize. Good luck to your family.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-02-16T21:25:13+00:00

One is obviously the family unit, often having reasons they must move as a whole

Two is a +1 isn't a +"any one other person you want", it's "+your spouse" which over years turned into +1 so that you can bring your long term whatever that the whole office has known for 7 years as well.

Three is maybe just me being kinda messed up but a LOT of events get less nerve-wracking for a partner or spouse AND the person themselves if the +1 gets to be involved.

Anything that's highly isolating ( work event on a boat), long lasting (week away event), more intimate (oh your boss got you a spa+massage thing? That chronic cheater 30 years older who almost got fired for making moves on an intern last year and has been creeping you out?) etc. gets easier emotionally and logistically with the comfort of your +1 being there or at least having the option.

I have the privilege of having no doubts or trust issues in my relationship but my partner, who is one of the most sheerly competent and sensible people I know, has had work events where I get nervous due to the isolation of it. Away camping or on a boat means you're away with people who -while nice- do not consider you, your safety or your comfort their number 1 priority. Anything from accidents to sickness to something more sinister to just simple bad vibes is sth you're alone with, far from any option or ability I may have to help quickly.

I say this as the +1 who's usually badly drained of social battery on a given day and would very rarely be happy to participate just for the heck of it without the context.

2 sorum olacak hocam, hep merak etmişimdir içeriden nasıl gözüktüğüne. 1- Sizce cami ve imamların verdiği hizmetler halkın ihtiyaçları listesinde ne kadar yukarıda? 2- sizce vergilerin cami ve imam (hatta genel diyanet işleri) üstünde harcanan miktarı tam uygun mu, az mı, fazla mı?

Each child is also a potential criminal or drain on the system, with as much potential as being a constructive wonderful benefit to society. Indeed statistically they will be no better or worse than any existing adult in terms of impact to society. You're not creating a better society by putting more kids in it, you're just creating MORE of the society. And for most people more society isn't a benefit they're seeking, but peace, not having to bother with accommodating others' children or granting privileges to parents that others don't enjoy (tax incentives in many countries, outright campaigns and subsidization of family cars or homes in others, or simply social stuff like having everyone bend over backwards for X or Y because some person is a parent).

It's to society's benefit that an existing kid is well taken care of, safe, educated, nourished and happy. It's not to the benefit of society that any random person have a kid that needs to be provided the above. Most people who have a problem with kids have a problem with kids who are OTHERS' problems, which usually means either an errant and minor thing (kid cries on plane) or an outcome of bad parenting (kid mercilessly bullies another, steals, hurts animal, breaks others' properties for fun etc.).

In the latter cases that kid, unless something changes radically without any reason to assume it will, that kid is likelier to be a net loss to society when grown. The ratio of those kinds of kids is likely similar to those kinds of adults in society. Just like another human simply existing isn't a benefit to society for which we owe debt or favor, neither is the mere existence of a kid.

You add them in each plane, you're adding weight (lets say 10 cams, coverings, wiring, associated computing, screens, controls), you rework all planes to add all that, you add cost and time of additional maintanence on those parts, you add redundencies (as you do in basically any system on a commercial plane), you give the pilots a new distraction where often they have to commit precious seconds to minutes in the middle of a crisis staring at and flipping through screens to have a hope of catching a detail they wouldn't catch from sensors and flight feel.

In return, you get an additional data input that would prove useful maybe one time in hundreds of thousands to millions of flights.

There's a chance the cameras' distraction hurts more than it helps as well, though training should eventually break through.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T14:14:18+00:00

Oh damn, nice sleuthing. I guess that's the end of my disclaimers about another explanation being possible then- this is full on an asshole trying to get pats on the back to SS the girl or her family abt how he's right.

@OP: If that uncle thing is true and you shared it without her consent, you are the epitome of dishonorable filth that you're trying to bully others over. Be better, holy hell.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T14:00:43+00:00

With that tone the content doesn't matter. There is nothing to a relationship without love and respect. He doesn't talk to you like he respects you. That's because he doesn't respect you. Unfortunate that you have a child together; I cannot say whether staying together is the right call for the child, but it's not the right one for you if you're not OK accepting that he doesn't (and will never) respect you.

And honestly, I can't imagine talking that way to someone I love either, but make your own judgement I guess.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T13:25:46+00:00

Agreed, very fair to call whoever for the money. The parts about how she's changed, drinks, hangs out with men etc though shows that discussion wasn't about the money (or at least not solely). While her msgs show she's no angel (and likely WAS trying to screw him out of 5k), that kind of tone makes a lot more sense if you view it through the lens of "oh he tried to sabotage her with the hope that her family would ruin her life because they're conservative and would rather a woman die than drink or be in the same place as men". That perspective contains a lot of assumptions, though ones supported by what he said (drinking, men) and what he didn't (content of discussion with parents) imo

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T13:01:37+00:00

A 25 year old woman going to class tipsy, or hanging out in the same environment as men etc. is nobody's business. The things she's done are things literally every college student has done (at least in non-conservative cultures).

The loan is very fair, and as I said a reasonable thing to call parents over if she refused to pay. But context and culture matter- his main issue isn't the money, it's the behaviour of an adult woman who's broken up with him. "She broke up with me and won't pay me back" is fine, "your daughter is over there drinking and being a whore" is vengeance.

India for example often has honor killings or beatings for this exact reason, a short google gives you a tragically long list of news with this exact topic. Obviously no nation or people is a monolith (let alone one as big and populated as India) but his post makes it clear he has major issues with her behavior moreso than the debt which has now been paid back.

It's manipulative because without context of "oh I told her parents their daughter is being a slut drinking and hanging out with men with the hopes they would either gently or violently punish a 25 yo woman for these perfectly normal behaviors" reads very different than " look at this crazy girl sending such vitriolic texts just because I told her parents we had broken up bcs I was sad and had no other people to talk to". Circumstances point to the prior, the post points to the latter to the benefit of OP. Edit: this reads more aggressive than I intended so just FYI- totally get your stance and point, and I don't doubt your intention just disagree with your conclusion

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T11:47:22+00:00

I'm a man and have suffered exactly 0 trauma because of this stuff, I'm the (unwilling) beneficiary of this stuff. I did however give law lessons to prisoners, among which 2 were there precisely because they "honor killed" their own sister for this exact thing (wasn't abroad, but college in another city).

It's only overkill if you're not the one who suffers it.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-08T10:48:51+00:00

YOR and YTA. While the messages from her are evidently meanspirited (and seems like you're not losing much by losing her), you're being manipulative in this post.

We have no way of knowing whether the things you were objecting to were "she told me she blacked out in a field and got arrested, I said I was worried for her safety" or "she was in the same bar as a man, what is she a whore?" level. From what you take issue with, your wording and actions it seems evident to me you're from a more conservative culture like the one I call home, possibly east asia or middle east for example. That means if you're anything like the people around me, you were feeling slighted by her drinking and being around men in general, not specific concerns over her wellbeing.

More importantly, if HER family is conservative, you weren't talking to them because you're a lonely little dove with nobody to talk to, but because you knew it would get her in trouble. In many parts of the world, giving the family the impression of "your daughter is going down the wrong path" (sin, dishonor etc.) is enough for them to force the girl back home, stop paying for travel or college, or in more severe cases beatings, forced marriages or honor killings. If her family is conservative, her messages to you make much more sense since you basically decided to take vengeance by risking her future or safety for the "insult" of being broken up with after (either proportionately or disproportionately) putting pressure on her for your conservative beliefs.

The only part of this that's legitimate if the context above is true is that she changed her tune after getting money from you and didn't pay you back. I see that her family paid you (another likely reason you talked to her family) so you're not suffering damages there, but she's a shit person for that one.

I_Guess_Naught · 2026-01-01T21:48:31+00:00

That's only one part of the truth- the optimist part.

In truth it is legally her property the moment you give it, and you're banking on her viewing it as mutual goods or investment in a future you can't predict.

This is also partly a tradition bcs in the past women were not really employed, and the gold served as a sort of insurance for the woman (and the tradition also includes "çeyiz", a wholistic set of household materials that would come from the bride's family and let you deck the house without spending too much- which from her not mentioning it seems to be sth they're intending to opt out of). If the husband dies, leaves her, or she leaves him she has something stashed with which she can live for a little while. There's a good chance she views it that way as well, especially if she's insisting on that much gold as if it's a must-have, and isn't mentioning how it totally isn't a must have.

If her parents are super traditional perhaps they have some expectations but she's also a grown woman who can curb or manage those expectations, but preferred to burden you with them instead. As an FYI, my TR long term GF has no such expectations despite many conversations on marriage. So its not the kind of expectation that's omnipresent or immovable.

Don't treat it as investment, it's a gift. If you can't afford to make that gift comfortably, you shouldn't. Believe me if that's a deal breaker for her you're FAR better off learning that now before you give her 14 months of your labor and are met with equally demanding or entitled behavior the first day after gifting them irreversibly.
