Zeno effect is produced under careful manipulated conditions by humans. People used the knowledge about quantum physics to create a situation where th...

It will not be in the grips of zeno effect because zeno effect is produced under certain conditions which are not the abundant conditions in nature.

My understanding is that it’s not the measurement. It’s misleading. It’s the interaction. When particle interacts with other particle or environment t...

Evolutionary psychologist have theorized it to be a byproduct our our brain's cognitive ability to see patterns in nature and theory of mind (empathy)...

There are certain behaviors of particle that we it's difficult for us to associate them with waves because we don't observe those behaviors in our dai...

Paul, Atomic decay is certainly a good example of randomness. And no doubt randomness exists elsewhere. My argument in favor of existence of free will...

Paul, Could it be that indeterministic nature of a phenomenon (decay in this case) is limited in scope to its temporal locality and occurrence? I beli...

Particle is a useful abstraction for us humans. We can think of them as quantum field excitations as well. But that doesn't tell us whole a lot. Think...

I am a materialist/phycalist myself and believe that everything reduces to material reality (atoms, sub-particles)—going even deeper takes us to quant...
