Classroom Wonders

Today's math class with Mr Ilango was really interesting..

Mr Ilango: So the particle is actually at rest when t=1 and when t=5 which is true because in quantum physics, a particle or an atom can display such properties.

Me: But we have to factor in the uncertainty principle as well.

Mr Ilango: Yes, that's right. If you want me to complicate it for you using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle I can. Want me to show you?

Me (Thinks): Yeah I would like to see that but if I say yes, everyone will be bored and we wouldn't be able to see the rest of the solution to this math question. Furthermore, we're running outta time.

Me: Nah..

Mr Ilango: Ok.. back to the question...

The class: Uncertainty principle? What's that?

Lol...

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that you cannot find the exact point and speed of an electron and any results you get is only a probability. There are factors in the way you calculate that can narrow down the probability and make it more accurate but you'll never know where the electron actually is.

Sounds complicated and weird? Not really. Go read up about it. Or.. alternatively, you can borrow this book from me which I just finished earlier today..



Yep. It's very interesting and it kept me busy for awhile.

Enough said.
