For the life of me, try as I might, I just can't understand quantum mechanics. Seriously. A particle can be in two places at once and you cannot "photograph" it because it keeps on jumping around. WTF?

WaldoLydeker, however there are Quantum computers that store data in precisely such a manner, so that instead of existing as binary zeros and ones it exists in multiple places at the same time and chooses where, when you ask for it.... kind of like Schrodinger's cat. However, the people who build them don't even fully understand how they work. (My father taught Quantum Mechanics at one of the top US universities... I can only wrap my head around part of his published work.)

thanks Sheldon. I owe this one to You.

Thanks to The Big Bang Theory I got this right. Thanks Leonard and Sheldon! 😁

WaldoLydeker, think of it as an immortal bee that is in a room (defined energy).. It's buzzing around... You know its there but it's moving constantly so you can never define its location & speed at same time.... Maybe that explanation is more confusing!!! 😆

EdwardFingerhands, Obviously it takes Large Hadrons and collides them . Not rocket science is it

WaldoLydeker, Observing it changes it. Figure that one out.

it's located where Switzerland collides with France

Player: Coco, tunnels can be donut-shaped, too.

Unbelievably, the Mandela effect is the only data anyone is interested in after such a massive scientific experiment.

Player: Coco, Tunnels are roughly cylinders. But still, 17 mile circumference would mean a diameter of about 5.5 miles. That is about the height of Mt. Everest. Something is not right about those measurements.

This is amazing. Makes me wish I would have continued studying quantum mechanics so that I could have possibly tested a theory I came up with about the movement of electrons and something I call "negativos."

Player: Coco, the tunnel is round, particles are going in circles

I'm stuck on a tunnel being "17 miles in circumference". Must mean about 8.5 miles long? Circumference relates to curved figures; difficult to apply to a linear "tunnel".

why are there labs then if there is one 27km long
