one more dimension...please man we can make string theory work with just one more...guys come on just one more dimension we'll have a unified theory. you let them have 22 dimensions before, you can give me 11 now. its literally halved. please, lets just

full disclosure i have nothing but respect to the people who work on these theories and phys. i just thought this was kinda funny

OKAY KISSBLR YOUR PHYSICS NERD HAS ARRIVED

I've decided to take on the task of explaining my little yap in this comment:

Also I'll be simplifying a lot of things so feel free to explain them in detail in reblogs/comments :3 /g /nf

ANYWAYS

First of all, wtf even are quantum physics??

Quantum physics are a branch of physics which focuses on the subatomic, the nitty gritty wonky shit we can see under microscopes

Let's start with this: did you know that the atomic model made by Schrodinger actually is the most accurate one we have (so far)?

(the last one in this picture)

As you can see, the atomic model evolved over time, going from Dalton's ball to Schrodinger's cloud

But why the hell is it a cloud?

It's not like they turned out to be actual, negatively charged clouds instead of subatomic particles, no. It's due to electrons being in constant motion, meaning we can't tell exactly where they are and all we can do is bet that they're in certain positions (which got calculated and stuff blablabla, tons of probability talk mimimi) until observed

Which brings me into another point, superposition!

When we say that something is in superposition, we mean that it's in an unclear state until observed and as an example I'll use the famous Schrodinger's cat...man

(I put it together while writing all of this btw)

Imagine the Catman in a box with a poison which will kill him once a radioactive atom connected to it decays (usually by ejecting either a part of its nucleus, an electron or a gamma ray but which type of decay would happen here is irrelevant). Until we open the box to check if he's dead, or alive, we can't be sure

And yes, that makes him both dead and alive at the same time (which I'll get to later)

That box situation puts him in superposition and thus checks off Schrodinger's Cat(man) paradox at once :3

Also no Catmen got hurt during the experiment ":3 /silly

Staying with superposition for a moment longer, we can move to the observer effect (or as I worded it in the comment: "how observing something influences the outcome"). For it, we gotta get to the double slit experiment which is the best example of the observer effect in action!

(taken from wikimedia)

The double slit experiment is about how doing something can have different results depending if its process is being observed as it's going on

When observed and documented, the experiment gave a fairly straightforward result, with the conclusion being that electrons behaved like the particles they are:

(shown above)

But, once not observed and only documented afterwards, it gave a very... intriguing result, with the electrons acting more like waves than particles:

(same source as with pic above these two)

Now, it may either mean that the particle-wave duality of, well, particles is real, also that maybe the photons messed with the trajectory of the electrons which made them act "normal", or maybe that a conscious observer somehow messes with reality itself?

Okay, don't ask me which one it is (it's not the last one don't be ridiculous, the observer they used wasn't a sentient being but a machine) but it surely proves that us observing something will change the results!

Now going back a little, remember the part about Catman being both dead and alive? Yeah!

That relates to the concept of quantum immortality (and quantum suicide BUT dw there won't be any actual talk about kys /info)!

Quantum immortality is a concept rooted in quantum mechanics and discusses the possibility of living seemingly endlessly through the splitting of the timeline whenever you're in a deadly situation

And quantum suicide is when you're in the timeline that ends with you being dead

(Yes, it relates to the many-worlds interpretation which is about how there are endless versions of our world which "split off" whenever something happens, creating pretty much a multiverse that could be proven scientifically... maybe... someday)

And now my favorite quantum twat and his family, STRING THEORY AND M THEORY

String theory states that instead of elemental particles (e.g. electrons, up and down quarks, gluons, higgs bosons, electron neutrinos etc.), we have one dimmensional planck length strings in their place which vibrate in a certain way that results in them functioning as specific elemental particles!

Basically, everything being made of strings and not particles at the subatomic level

However, we can't prove it directly (via observation), because in order to see if they're here or not, we'd have to shrink photons so much, we'd create kugelblitzs (black holes made out of heat/energy/radiation) and see nothing

The M Theory encompasses the various versions of "the superstring theory", which tries to make quantum physics work with all fundamental forces (strong & weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism and that pesky gravity). Of course, gravity has to be a diva and make things extra complicated (which, btw, made various theories about it spark up, such as the theory about gravity being made of particles called gravitons)

The big M stands for many different things and here you can say it's "magic" or "mystery", or "meme" even tbh (my fav is Meow) /silly

AND THAT IS ALL EVERYONE

It was really fun and took me a lil while X3333!!!!

Ngl, most of it is actually from memory with fact checking to see if I remembered things correctly or not /nafx

ALSO

If anyone has any questions about these or wants to know more about atomic, subatomic, or quantum physics, feel free to ask me about it :3<

And if I won't know it, I'll do some research and then reply so dw :3c

Brian Cox Takes Our Cosmic Status Too Seriously

[inevitably-johnlocked]

I'm still angry that Mycroft didn't protect John after the Fall. If he had paid a fraction of his attention, John wouldn't have ended up with a rogue assassin. "But she's smart" people say. Nope, individual intelligence is nothing in front of absolute power. If Myc cared even a little bit, her ID would have been discovered immediately. Myc knew how his brother felt about John from the start ("happy announcement") and did nothing: Myc, dude, that's not how you treat the "widow" in your family.

Hey Nonny!

Yeah, it's so weird, given that he was CLEARLY keeping tabs on John as shown in TEH, which is why I and many others believed in "M Theory", that Mycroft was actually being manipulated by the Moriarty network so Sherlock would return. It doesn't make sense that Myc would let John be put into that much danger... unless Mary is just "that good" and I'll be honest, I don't think she is, LOL.

Sherlock the Dragon Slayer

[221b-johnlocked-1895]

Hello! So in your profile you say u are working on a collection of metas, so may I ask for some BBC Sherlock metas that tackle on John & James mirroring (like for example: a high incidence of John & James and the meanings behind that, their roles as storytellers)? Thank you so much!

Hi anon! x

I guess you're referring to the link between John and characters called James (i.e. Jim/James Moriarty, James Sholto, James Bond and John himself in a story in the ACD canon) and to the trope of storytelling/breaking the 4th wall.

Before anything, we need to keep in mind that ACD called John "James" in "The Man With The Twisted Lip" and this might be the main reason behind this link.

Anyway, these are the meta I have about John-James, storytelling and breaking the fourth wall in BBC Sherlock:

•It's a love story - Jim is the storyteller - Mycroft's words: "promise of love, pain of loss, joy of redemption"

•John is an unreliable narrator

•John's blog - the reasons why John hides specific details

•Breaking the fourth wall

•References to The Truman Show and to the "sexy discretion" shot

•TFP is John's Mind Palace masterpost (so he's the author and teller of the story)

•John's goes "soldier mode" as a way to cope- parallels with Sholto

•Jolto - John calls Sholto by his name, while Sholto calls John by his surname

• Mirrors masterpost

• Video - mirrors in Sherlock (part one)

• Video - mirrors in Sherlock (part two)

•BBC Sherlock and James Bond (I need to add 4 things to this post but I'm sure there are many others: John loves James Bond movies, Mycroft refers to the "Bond Air", James Sholto is in the 207 room and the famous M-Theory)

•TFP is John's TAB - references to James Bond

•TFP and James Bond

•Video - Moriarty and M theory

•Video - Mycroft and M theory

I hope this is what you were looking for; If I have missed the point of your question, tell me! x
