The Quantum Suicide experiment is a little-known thought experiment carried out to highlight some of the darker possibilities of our reality and the scientific observations we’ve come to know.
Bordering somewhere in between legitimate horror novel and science fiction, the quantum suicide experiment is something to terrify, something that’s straight out of an episode of the Twilight Zone. In the Quantum Suicide Experiment you never die…
We’re all quite familiar Werner Heisenberg’s scientific concept of The Uncertainty Principle which serves as the foundation of what would become the Quantum Suicide Experiment, right? Just in case, I’ll provide a little backdrop of the necessary scientific ideas which serve as the structures from which the quantum suicide experiment was built.
The idea behind the Uncertainty Principle is the proposition that any object cannot be measured in both position and velocity at the same time, not even in theory. Everything that “is” or can be measured can only be approximately measured, seeing as position and velocity are dependent upon one another, one…
