4-Dimensional Space-Time and Holographic Universe.

Part-2: The Uncertainty Principle

      

    On the basis of above discussed paradigms we conclude as considering the basic foundation of quantum theory, we may, sometimes, get into scientific fictional cross over with the beliefs that mankind have ever adopted to himself, since before the introduction of the first telegraph, the first radio, the first cathode ray tube, perhaps the first electrical line or more precisely the evolution of the electricity itself. Moreover we may phrase it as Science.

            The sophistication in life by the science that gave us revolution in the civilization from bicycle to invention like Lasers, Radars, and Satellites up to the GPS systems, Transistors and the touch sensed (electronics) gadgets, are all the comprehensive results of Science. Well, of course, Physics is at the foundation of all the technology. As discussed in previous blog the four forces of nature govern our universe and yes, even our technology World Wide Web (WWW), Integrated circuit (IC’s) and etc. are outcomes of mathematical equations of quantum theory/mechanics, or result of thought experiment called the Schrodinger’s Cat proposed by the celebrated physicist Ervin Schrodinger. When we open up with quantum theory, it is, mandatorily know about the particles, indeed after atomic and sub-atomic particles, like electrons, study of its nature and their behavior, which is called as Electronics, has revolutionized the world with technology.

            The flow of electrons (current) is as the result of particle application obliged in the technological era that we live in. In fact the sophisticated life that we enjoy today might have not been manifested by then. Now a days into the deep down of the sub-atomic world, physicists have come to conjecturing the existence of some 200 sub particles until today, and obviously the number is in increase in counts. Particle physicists have divided all sub-atomic particles in three categories based on their masses from lightest to the heaviest, they are as follows:

·        Leptons or light-weight particles

·        Mesons or medium-weight particles, and

·        Baryons or heavy-weight particles

 Let us dig deep into the ‘Particle Physics’ aspect as we are already on to the mark to get start to travel into the very specific physics, to understand the working of the universe and as discussed earlier technologies. All we feel, touch, see and moreover, we, the human beings (Living things) itself are/is all manifestation resulted from the tiny particle itself. For sure, human being is made up of trillions of trillions of trillions of atomic and sub atomic particles. In fact all the physical laws, those governing our nature governs the human physiological life too. We can sense the touch, can feel heat and cold scientifically we allow electric charge (current) to flow through our bodies, accordingly even the beings are also called conductors.

But the quest about the ultimate building block that can explain all the happenings in this universe is yet unanswered. Perhaps what is Mass or Energy? What is the mass composed of? What is the smallest particle composed of?

Well the new branch of physics, which is emerged very recently, particle physics itself has no answer and the quantum mechanics/uncertainty do have either. The most celebrated physicist Heisenberg who himself formulated the ‘The uncertainty Principle’, quoted in The Dancing Wu Li Masters. Pg.216 as “In the light of the quantum theory, elementary particles are no longer real in the sense as objects of daily life, trees or stones”.

Heisenberg showed that subatomic entities like the electrons can never be measured or determined in ‘conventional way’ and hence there is and must always be a measure of ‘uncertainty’ or the ‘indeterminacy’ in our knowledge of the electrons, and it is called as ‘Uncertainty Principle’. It summaries and try to determine precisely the velocity and the position of the electron. But it isn’t true i.e. if we try to know the position of the electron, then we will end up with knowing almost nothing about its velocity, and vice versa. And hence this Principle also called as of ‘Principle of Indeterminacy’. The theory mainly insist us to make us to have a must knowledge to know the electron we must know the Position (where it is) and what will be its velocity. The ridiculous part of quantum cross over, comes in to picture, if one is known fully the other is bound to remain unknown. As from the thought experiment of the Heisenberg we can know that ‘something we have to use a light whose wavelength is smaller than the piece of interest. So he (Heisenberg) thought to use the gamma ray to test the theory, as the gamma rays will have the shortest wavelength. Moreover the gamma rays got not only the short wavelength, got much more energy than ordinary light too. So whenever gamma ray is focused on fast moving electron in its orbits, it illuminates the electron with on doubt, but simultaneously it violently knocks out the electron from its orbit and change in direction and momentum occurs in an uncontrollable and unpredictable way. Heisenberg mathematically calculated this quest in an equation:        

Where Q= uncertainty about Velocity of the electron

            P= uncertainty about position of the electron

            h= Planks constant (6.63*10^-27 erg. Sec)

This means we could get both the velocity and the position of the electron with perfect precision. But since the ‘h’, the planks constant is fixed quantity, either of the uncertainty must remain.

And hence there is sense that an electron being not tightened up to stay in particular location or to follow just one path. It may be found anywhere in the universe, as It can be better studied with the Quantum Entanglement (will be discussed in upcoming blog).
