How the Universe Breaks the Law of Energy Conservation

12th - Higher Ed
SUMMARY

The law of energy conservation may be the most fundamental law in physics. It says that overall energy is always conserved. It can never be created nor destroyed - it can only change form. But this law...

How the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Works

12th - Higher Ed
The original paper by the authors who first performed the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser implied retro causality. But retro causality is true only if you assume a classical way of thinking. But that's not the way quantum mechanics works.
