One consequence of focusing on "The Big Bang Theory" is that I recently started to review the conceptual stories of quantum physics. There are two more similar to Schrodinger’s cats, one is the wave-particle duality of light, and the other is Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The former starts to understand as weird as saying that a person is both male and female, while the latter is like saying that a moving car cannot determine its position and speed at the same time. The reason why quantum physics is difficult for the public to understand is not only because they are full of paradoxes that deviate from common sense, but also because these theories themselves are like the conjectures of mental patients and are elusive. For example, imagining the original examples of the world as vibrating strings of various frequencies is the view insisted by Sheldon's school in "The Big Bang Theory", or the belief that space and time are infinitely subdivided into mung bean-shaped with gaps. It's the
loop quantum theory that Sheldon's opponent Leslie believes . The opposition between the two factions, like the heliocentric theory and geocentric theory of the year, is a religious war. It is precisely because the scope of quantum mechanics research is not the macroscopic world that we are familiar with, but the super-large cosmoscopic world, or the super microscopic quantum world. All theories of quantum mechanics have certain ambiguities and conjecture characteristics. For logics such as string theory and loop quantum theory, it is not yet known when it will be possible to prove it.
For ordinary people, the meaning of these theories is not as easy to perceive as practical technologies such as IT. However, understanding these fuzzy concepts of quantum physics has one advantage for me, which is to produce a sense of alienation and transcendence to reality. You know, when Marx wrote his book, Newtonian mechanics was the reference. The classical economics of Samuelson, who has just passed away, still regards the world as a precise instrument. The political leaders who dominate the world at present, in general, It is still managing the country in the way of the kingdom, although it was called a democratic model during the election. Facing the world quantized by technology and globalization after 2000, they actually embodied a certain conceptual incompetence, that is, the fear of uncertainty. In the 1970s, a physicist wrote a book called "The Tao of Physics", which described the similarities between certain concepts of quantum physics and Eastern philosophy. This also seemed to foresee why many people in the age of quantization Will concentrate on Eastern philosophy. For ordinary people, using the fuzzy concepts of quantum physics and Eastern philosophy to soften their paranoia and become less neurotic and Mean is a good medicine for solving knowledge anxiety. This process can start from watching "The Big Bang Theory".
