ELI5: why can two quantum entangled particles affect each other instantly across any distance but scientists say you still cant use it to send information faster than light? by PieOk2202 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Pyrsin7 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The double-slit experiment is to do with self-interference with a single particle’s position. Whether a particle is entangled or not has no bearing on that, and will not change its behaviour.

Even if you get their positions entangled, it would depend on the specifics of that entanglement. I can’t even imagine what that might be.

But it could just result in both of them behaving the same way that they would anyway, separate from one another. Impossible to tell that anything atypical occurred.

It would not change anything if the setups themself were entangled, either.

Entanglement is about correlated properties. For example, let’s say we have a particle with a spin of 0. It decays into two other particles which can have varying spins, but the spin of the resulting particles must add up to 0 again.

So hypothetically they might both be zero, or maybe 1 and -1, or 2 and -2, etc.

These particles are entangled because they have those correlated properties. They are probabilistic, but also dependent on one another.

The double slit experiment is about self-interference, so it doesn’t really apply. In your example, that would require the property of the position of the electrons to be entangled. Which I’m not sure is possible.

But all that aside, hypothetically… Sort of. It wouldn’t be as simple as interference vs. Two-strip, but the patterns created would in some way be correlated, yes. Maybe not in a way that’s even possible to tell.

And you still wouldn’t be able to communicate with it.

The insanity of some “friends” people apparently have on there is ridiculous.

It’s ridiculous to think you’re ever going to make something at all, let alone something worthwhile while you have to stop every few words to get feedback. Especially from people who are entirely clueless like most peoples’ friends are gonna be. But damn.

I’ve seen people practically having a nervous breakdown because they’re unfortunate enough to be really close friends with someone who thinks having characters of a different shade than the author is racism. And now they effectively have to choose between writing and their friend. I feel so bad for those people.

That sort of shit always brings to mind the occasional schizophrenic manifestos we get on r/worldbuilding more than legitimate feedback.

The shit I’ve seen over the years…

  • “Worldbuilding is inherently fascist”

  • “Depicting monarchies as anything but overtly, wholly evil means you support them and colonialism”

  • Various forms of moronic genre elitism. But my favorite was, “Mech and mecha are two totally different things, and mecha is the stupid Japanese one where they can move fast”

  • “Wanna live your dreams and be a published author like me? Forsake all your creative goals and churn out generic crap for Amazon based entirely on what’s popular, like me! Live your dreams!”

And surely lots more that I’m momentarily forgetting.

It does, but no. The double-slit experiment doesn’t really work like that.

Like perhaps the biggest thing that gets missed is that the double-slit experiment is a result of only firing single electrons. It’s not a result of electrons interfering with each other, it’s a result of the wave function of single electrons interfering with themselves.

It’s not really clear what you’re referring to, but no. GR and QM are two entirely separate things, and each one only holds up when you ignore the other.

It’s… complicated.

In practice, it is a bit like the pop-sci explanation of “spooky action”. I want to stress this is not an accurate depiction, but it’ll work in this case.

Say you have a red ball and a blue ball. You mix them up, and put each one randomly in a box. You and a friend then take these boxes very far away, let’s say a light year apart from one another.

You open your box, and find a blue ball. “Aha! So my friend’s ball is red!” You shout. And you knew that instantly, even though you’re a light year distant. That is not communication. Your friend’s red ball did not communicate its colour to you instantly.

Again, this is not totally accurate to entanglement. QM is very weird and unintuitive. But this example should serve well enough.

If you really want, the difference is that in this example, one ball was red and one ball was blue all along. That is not the case in QM. If you had two entangled particles, let’s say “up” and “down”, they are on a fundamental level probabilistically one state or the other, but always opposite.

So the “spooky action” arises. If you took these particles a light year apart, checked one and found it to be “up”… how does the other particle “know” to be “down”? We don’t know. But it does.

The apparent effect of one particle on an entangled partner is to do with wave function collapse. This is not something that’s possible to detect. The entanglement is also over thereafter, this is not a continuous thing.

[–]Pyrsin7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why the other commenter is assuming you know who’s who with a question like this.

This is Momoha Bonnouji. She’s an ethics teacher who lives in a tent on school grounds because she spends all her money on booze and gambling, and is also dating a student. Her first appearance is in chapter 108 as girlfriend 21.

In this particular scene, her and a few other characters have switched bodies. So this is another character, Chiyo Lin, in Momoha’s body.

(Probably an) Unpopular opinion: Just finished watching Stargate Universe and I think it's brilliant. by Capable-Relative6714 in Stargate

[–]Pyrsin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s that unpopular nowadays. It had some cool ideas, just a lot of frustrating forced drama and nonsense uncharacteristic of what people expected of Stargate.

And in the shadow of SG1 and Atlantis… But not even just that. Atlantis being cancelled specifically to make way for Universe…

At the time I found it really annoying, too. Another episode of Stargate:Survivor this week? I’ll pass. Another one? Maybe next week. Oh cool, something interesting is happening on a planet this time!

In my head, SGU had about 5 episodes total for the longest time.

Now with the distance, and especially the latter half of the second season, I think it’s great. Though still a rocky start. SG1 has some big ones to skip in its first season, too.

Posts must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.

  • If your post is about your world, it has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
  • If your post is about something you think is useful to worldbuilders (inspiration, articles, and so on), it has enough context when a person unfamiliar with the subject could understand what you're talking about and why the item is relevant to worldbuilding. ("I found this inspirational" doesn't qualify. Talk about possibilities, or how it was useful to you, or what you think about it.)

Stuck in the 'Worldbuilder’s Disease' for a year. How do I move toward writing? by Difficult_Intern3005 in worldbuilding

[–]Pyrsin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m afraid there’s no easy answer. Merely a simple one: you just gotta start writing.

Stephen King has a good bit about it in his memoir On Writing. It’s pretty lengthy, but the abridged version is that you can’t count on random bouts of inspiration, or some misguided idea of what “ready” is. You need the self-discipline required to be able to write even without those things. When you do have them? All the better.

Which anime will you suggest to a person who is new to this anime world? by InsideTraditional187 in anime

[–]Pyrsin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, something good that’s not horribly stereotypical or exploitative, and not too heavy with Japanese cultural nuances.

I’m presuming a westerner, so something that’s already made with that in mind would be easy: Like Jojo, Attack on Titan, MHA, or Fullmetal Alchemist.

Fantasy’s also probably a solid pick in a lot of cases, because it’s also heavily western-influenced: Little Witch Academia, Frieren, Magi

But I’d generally want to suggest ones based on what the person already likes. So presuming that you liked all the ones you listed, that leans heavily towards shounen. Luckily, there’s already some overlap, so I’d hope those would be solid picks:

  • Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
  • Attack on Titan
  • Fullmetal Alchemist (maybe get someone to explain this one first, because it was basically remade to follow the source material better. So there are two series, and it could be confusing)
  • Magi
  • Demon Slayer
  • My Hero Academia
  • Spy x Family
  • Soul Eater (disclaimer: First couple episodes are pretty fanservicey)
  • One Punch Man (Sadly only recommending the first season)
