kos Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 http://gizmodo.com/quantum-weeping-angel-effect-freezes-atoms-in-place-1730914717 As I read the article and I suddenly imagined something verry romantic and in some unclear sense reasonable. Does it mean this quantum zeno effect that When we watch over the night sky and see the stars we affect them someway even imenssevly undetectable and enourmosly unimportant ? May be the very few unique photons from their starlight reaching only very your eyes and nobody else ,or my eyes and nobody else as there are enought photons and directions of rays for any individual eyes may be for all over the world people, can affect in a very unique quantum way part of the starlife. And we give in a unique way our contribution to the universe. What do you think about it
swansont Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Not in any meaningful way. You need to be checking in a specific way to affect the atoms
swansont Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Just looking at the emission doesn't check the atoms in a way that triggers the effect
Enthalpy Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 The observation of remote stars comes too late to resolve the state of the emitting atoms. Since the emission, each atom has already been "observed" by many collisions with other atoms.
