The two sides of the coin run perfectly fine on their own. My point is that when we zoom into a large object, those atoms bonded together are not going to display quantum weirdness. If we separated a single atom from that object, I claim that atom has become 2D, but is 3D while we are observing it. So to unify, we can write an equation that says Relativity is 3D and QM is 2D or less.

Quantum field theory and Quantum Electrodynamics obviously haven't unified the two yet because we get guys like this still saying they are not unified, from a couple days ago (see the 3:10 mark) https://youtu.be/dW7J49UTns8?t=190

Not true. The fact that the transistors in your computer work is due to "quantum weirdness". In fact the reason glass is transparent and metals conduct is explained by quantum effects. All of chemistry is explained by quantum effects.

Do you have evidence for this?

OK. Go on then. Show us this equation.

 

BTW, for the benefit of anyone wondering, the video is a Royal Institution lecture on loop quantum gravity.

Can you give a more detailed definition of the idea. What weirdness? What is "observe" in this context?

I see quantum weirdness as properties that can do superposition and entanglement. The other things Superfluidity / Superconductivity are just things that happen to occur at the quantum level. Observe and Measure are the same thing. I think the actual divide is due to the number of atoms bonded together that happens to be around the amount needed for us to see them. Objects we consider 3D are not in a superposition state. I wish I was smart enough to know how to write the equation to prove this.

As it appears to be something you have invented without any evidence, why do you think there might be an equation to describe this?

Macroscopic objects have been put into a superposition of states.

They are 3D when we measure/observe ..not while they are in the superposition state. Their math might say they are always 3D ..but that's all they are during superposition ..math, saying they have a different dimensional number might explain why they are able to be in that state to begin with.

Evidence?

Just repeating your absurd claims without any evidence is a violation of the rules.

I'm tempted to ask if you know what superposition means.

 

The equation is simply that if 2 effects, call them A and B, act on something together then the combined effect (call it C) follows the equation

C = aA + bB where a and b are simple constants.

 

This technique is very heavily used in classical amd macroscopic Physics, Chemistry and Engineering.

What is "bonded together"? What happens, according to you, to a cloud of ionised gas when no-one is looking? I am rather convinced the gas stays 3 dimensional.

Evidence that waves collapse?

No. Evidence for your claims such as "I claim that atom has become 2D" or "They are 3D when we measure/observe ..not while they are in the superposition state."

Do you have any? Or are these just wild guesses?

I'm not trying to discredit anything that has already been tested and proved (the true unifying theory won't do that either), except when deciding if something is 3D or not. I'm not certain QM is 2D ..it might be 0D for all I know ..it just can't be 3D.

Observation of Mass = 3D

I'm talking about something so obvious that I'm embarrassed for the human race to have only noticed it now. We can't see particles while in superposition and we can't know their position and momentum at the same time. This points directly to an object that is existing outside of our normal 3D view. We don't see objects other than 3D in the real world.

If it is so obvious, why can't you provide any evidence for it?

Of course we can.

Of course we can.

No it doesn't.

Perhaps because they don't exist.

 

As you are just repeating the same baseless claims, without any support, perhaps this thread should be closed?

When are you going to show us this equation?

2D is unmeasurable, because it only exists in math. There is nothing 2D in the universe, because it cannot exist physically.

Your conjecture is invalid.

Particles in superposition are very real and 3D, and has been proven many many times.

What do you think the Large Hadron Collider is measuring?

Objects in superposition do not "only exist as math". The clue is in the fact they are objects.

The wave collapses when we measure them. They hold their properties while in superposition, so what? You don't have proof of what dimension they are in when in that state.

If you are not going to provide any support for your claims, or this "equation" you claim to have then I will request this thread is closed.

Can you provide any evidence?

Can you show us your equation?

There is no danger of that happening. I hope one day you will learn a little basic science (and not feel too embarrassed about what you have posted here).

The wave equation describes properties in three dimensional space.
