    But that’s just it we not only observe the experiment, we are part of it.

    Not sure i understand where you are pointing :)

    Lets do thought experiment. Imagine you go deep into forest, you found tree which is obviously going to fall in next windstorm. You put there audio recorder. Lets suppose no other living creature would near tree when it falls down. Just turned ON audio recorder.

    So till yet, there was no "observer" in terms of living creature (eg. human) whose brain should perceive and process this "sound". In your logic, sound did not happened.

    Now you return to forest, take audirecorder home and play what's recorder. You now hear the sound of falling tree.

    What this means ? That sound like miracle appeared on tape in moment you started listening it ? Or that tree "knew" that you will be listening that recorder one time and thus sound "happened" ?

    Or that recorder itself is "observer" ? Then we need define what is observer.. if not living device it observer, isn't observer also any other entity, thing around that tree ? We are starting to be philosophical now :) Hope you got my point.

    Yes, correctly you determine, we need to define ‘observer/observers’.

    this does make little sense
    you are just timeshifting the observation by the observer ...
    and you are only "looking at" interpretations of what you expect - sound ...
    the outcome will be a self-fulfilling prophecy
    because it doesnt take the observer out of event ...

    Yes, you’re correct, but if we are talking about a human as the observer, that may not be the only observer, so the observation would still take place more or less as we would expect.

    i have no idea how to solve this ;)
    im just pointing it out

    Yes, I know, but until science creates and conducts experiments to determine this, the nature of observation, we are all in the ‘dark’.

    that's usual problem of philosophy, metaphysic, religion and stuff like that .. it always ends like snake eating own tail .. you'll never get real answers about real world phenomenons from philosophy, because philosophy is all about abstract constructs inside your head, it is not in any way related to real world.

    that's why i'm keeping myself away from philosophy and rather stick with real science :lol:

  • But humanity has an insatiable desire to make the abstract real.

  • Abstract concepts move men not particles. I forget who said it
    ( remind me, someone, please) .... "convince a man of an absurdity and you can get him to commit an atrocity." Is that philosophical? Not to the victim. Any, please disregard, we are talking physics ( I may need one after tonight's New Year's fest).

    @InfoCheck
    don’t understand why people are having such a hard time understanding the point @Max23 made about sound as something we experience as being processed through our ears and brain versus waves of air pressure that are not.

    Here is definition what is sound:

    vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.

    Those vibrations exists no
    matter if they are heard or aren't. Then "can be" heard not "are heard" - very subtle but MAJOR difference in definition.

    Other thing is of course interpretation of that sound, it's sense, it's description within framework patterns and abstract relations created inside out brain to describe / understand world around us. If somewhere is playing music, for human it's music, for dog it's some strange mixture of weird sounds - because dog doesn't have in his mind abstract framework of what is music

    But sound itself is what it is. See again description. Just vibrations. If tree falls down inside forest and nobody is around to listen it, it still makes sound. Just there is nobody to heard it and interpret ot as "falling tree". But this doesn't mean it doesn't make sound.
    Sound is name for physical process which is happening no matter if somebody is listenting or not.

    Of course we can argue about term "sound"
    itself, if it makes sense if there is not human, but that's just philosopical crap. We use names for things for simplifying debate.

    To be absolutely exact:

    If tree falls down in forest, and there is no living organizm near to hear it and interpret it withing own model of world, physicall process which we humans call "sound" is still happening there.

    Hope it clears my point enough.

    Your point seems to confuse the map with the territory it represents. A stimulus, in this case the air vibrations, isn’t the same as what we hear after it’s been processed through the brain. We can certainly use various devices or other people to observe or record the air vibrations but none of these are the actual air vibrations themselves.

    Consider a simplified version of sound as a chain of causality:
    Sound requires a stimulus (e.g. air pressure waves), ears (translates to nerve signals) and a brain which process the nerve signals which we experience as sound. This is a chain of causality where any link in the chain will influence to some degree what we experience as sound. The differences may be so small that we can’t distinguish the difference.

    The phrase does, “a tree make a sound when it falls in the forest” may be the point of confusion as the tree is only the source of the vibrations in air or ground. It doesn’t take into account the human part of the sound chain. We tend to assume that the tree will still generate vibrations whether we’re there or some sort of recording device is there but there is a difference between observing a phenomenon and assuming a specific phenomenon occurred because that’s been the consistent pattern in the past. For the vast majority of us such distinctions are not significant in our daily lives.

    With respect to your aversion to philosophy as crap, it might not be of interest to you, but you don’t seem to be always very focused on the points people are trying to raise. Philosophy like science can be more of less/practical from our POV.

    @dendy said:

    @knewspeak said:
    But @dendy where is the observer to know the tree has fallen thus making a sound.

    As i said. I'm not discussing philosophical pr metaphysical aspect. Not interested in this point of view. I'm talking about pure physical point of view.

    That sound is real thing, those vibrations affect enviroment surrounding that three...

    Philosophy is just discussion about abstract concepts inside your head, have really nothing to do with real world, real world is subject of physics (and chemistry and other scientific disciplines)

    Its VERY important to not mix together philosophy and physics

    Your statement, “Its VERY important to not mix together philosophy and physics” demonstrates both a poor understanding of physics and philosophy. Scientists must continually subject their theories and experiments to rigorous questioning about how justified they are in drawing the conclusions they have from the work and analysis they’ve done.

    Your off hand dismissal of philosophy is the intellectual equivalent of an ostrich burying its head in the sand rather than recognizing how addressing philosophical questions raised can be a tool to improve a scientist’s methodology. There is a philosophy of science devoted to doing just that.

    I hope you reconsider your approach to these topics so you’ll have more opportunities to develop your own understanding and benefit from the work of others.

  • I’m sorry if I started a long scientific discussion on this forum, but that only tells us how many highly intelligent people are in here :) musicians are smart.

    And remember, in all discussions, when we come down to the Planck-lengt... reasonable answers are impossible.
    Atoms? Nope! We are made of particles after all.

    One night, Feynman was awakened by his professor John Wheeler. He shouted into the phone, eureka, I have this for you... “everything makes sense if there is only one electron in existence in the universe. According to quantum mechanics a particle can be everywhere at the same time.” ;)

    A wild theory, which I don’t believe in, because it’s now proven that an electron has a tiny amount of mass.
    But it can be true about photon(s) They’re massless and don’t have to experience time.

    Actually they can be everywhere at a time, "one location at time" isn't reason why is this theory unlikely to be true :)
    But of course, I agree that this theory is very unlikely, it's more like interesting mind excercise. But it led to other interesting discoveries, so it was not completely useless :)

    I suggest you that video i pasted above, it's very detailed analyse of this Wheeler's idea. PBS Space Time have really great videos about relativity and QM related stuff

    Eh... no, that would go against Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which says you ccannot know the position if you know the velocity. Photons smear out as waves in the double slit experiment.

    I’ll watch the video, I didn’t know about it, but I’ve been through Feynman lectures just for the fun of it.
    As I remember they were recorded in the early 60s, so it’s funny to watch them in retrospect knowing what we know now. But the Feynman diagrams are still living strong.

    Neither the two slit experiment nor the uncertainty principle imply that a particle or quantum can be in different places at once. The uncertainty principle merely says that the particle could be located in a number of different locations not that it is located at more than one of those locations.

    The dual slit experiment demonstrates the dual nature of matter and that what we call particles behave as what we call waves when conditions are appropriate. Similarly, what we call waves seem to be particles under appropriate conditions -- some physicists would say matter is neither particle or wave and that our experience of them as particles or waves is a manifestation of how we interact with it. It also gives us the probability of the location , etc.

    Yes, but that’s not exactly correct either. I wonder at which school you studied physics.
    I don’t want to be rude, I just wondered. I’d really like someone to discuss mathematics with, as we’re in this very exiting time of probing very abstract ideas.

    In a way QFT (quantum field theory and QED) unites the concepts of wave and particle together. In QFT fields exist in every point in space, in which every point in space has a value. These points are quantized existing in discrete integers.

    Particles are disturbances in fields that persist (over time). Each basic particle is its oscillation in its own field. It is it’s own field.

    QFT treats particles as excited states (also called quanta) of their underlying fields, which are—in a sense—more fundamental than the basic particles. Interactions between particles are described by interaction terms in the Lagrangian involving their corresponding fields. Each interaction can be visually represented by Feynman diagrams, which are formal computational tools, in the process of relativistic perturbation theory.

    Well, the physics jocks here have outdistanced the wannabes in short order. For me that things are not as they appear to be, and that effect can precede cause, for example( as proposed in the spiritual "philosophy" of adveyda vedanta) is enough for my small scientific ability. I do believe that these deep understandings were understood and investigated in ancient time and, since science was far less developed than philosophy, were perforce the province of religion and philosophy. A great example is Isaac Luria, a 16th century Jewish mystic, who described a version of string theory with multiple dimensions curled up , more or less, alongside the ones we perceive. The Big Bang was also described, I believe. King Solomon is purported to have said "there is nothing new under the sun" and that was over 2,000 years ago. We may believe we are at the cutting edge, but ancient civilizations managed to reach many of the same conclusions, and since so many breakthroughs begin in the mind and are verified by scientific method it is easy to understand that evolved thought does not require modern scientific method to justify the incredible depth of human thinking.
    Now please release my cat.
