Counter-Intuitive Quantum Mechanics: State of Vibration That Exists Simultaneously at Two Different Times

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

But when superpositions do occur, they lead to observations that are very different from that of classical physics, questioning down to our very understanding of space and time.
