It's not something that people should "believe in". It exists, it's real and just because some people are not smart enough to get it, doesn't mean it's not true.
Only when it's applied to the behavior of the opposite sex
l can agree but many may not agree and l wanted to ask whether they believed or not .
in fact it wasnt proven to be true but wasnt disproven either .
Quantum mechanics, which came out of quantum theory, has seen been put to use in developing the laser and the transistor as well as the MRI, to name a few.
So it's pretty clear that at least that part of quantum theory is true.
if you want to focus on the parts that are yet unproven, you should be more specific regarding what area you want to discuss. Quantum theory is not just 1 theory. It's an asemble of theories.
Your thread title talks about Quantum Theory but your Poll talks about Quantum Mechanics. Two seperate things.
Quantum Mechanics is proven. Quantum Theory has yet to be proven. So one is not to be believed...it is to be known...IE Fact. The other is a belief system. One that I do believe in myself.
l know l must have used teh wrong word ,l should have asked " do you believe in quantum theory
Yes I believe in it. But I could understand why some wouldn't. 1: It is not proven, and to many, anything that is not proven is fantasy. 2: It could indicate some things which many people would be very reluctant to accept...or very happy to accept depending on your POV. Its very essences indicates that anything and everything is possible...if not in this universe and/or dimension and/or reality then in some other universe, dimension, reality. This means that even the All Mighty Spaghetti Monster could exist. Which some people could not simply believe is possible...and on the flip side some would be quite willing (and happy) to believe it is possible.
Now while I believe it is possible that is all that I believe. I won't even pretend to imagine the extent of it.
It's not something that people should "believe in". It exists, it's real and just because some people are not smart enough to get it, doesn't mean it's not true.
I agree, and sorry to derail the thread, but this is exactly the kind of question that offends me. A few people put decades of their lives into the study of this and other fields of knowledge, can grasp the implications of them, and can contribute to the field.
Only a complete ignoramus would approach such a field and start shooting their mouth off about what they believe is right and wrong, when they have no foundation for understanding the subject they are talking about. This doesn't happen as much for Quantum Theory, only a bit when people misinterpret or misunderstand the concept of Shrödinger's Cat, for instance. For the most part, though, Quantum Mechanics is a field that is way too brainy for most people to touch.
What a lot of people don't have a problem with is ranting about their opinions on evolution, global warming, and vaccines. Despite having no academic foundation in these fields, regular people have gotten the impression that everyone has a voice and each opinion is valid. I'm sorry, but no, it's not. Go study at an accredited school for 10 years and then you can spout your theories and garner respect.
l dont think l look like one of those ignorant ones
because l also know this is not the law of gravity
some people should try posting nicely instead of looking agressive
I voted other.
I agree with it to the extent that it seems (to my somewhat limited understanding) to accurately explain the way certain physical phenomena work, but it seems to be an incomplete theory that breaks down under certain conditions.
This is not accurate.Your thread title talks about Quantum Theory but your Poll talks about Quantum Mechanics. Two seperate things.
Quantum Mechanics is proven. Quantum Theory has yet to be proven. So one is not to be believed...it is to be known...IE Fact. The other is a belief system. One that I do believe in myself.
