Experiments Spell Doom for Decades-Old Explanation of Quantum Weirdness

summary
This article discusses recent physics experiments that challenge the widely accepted theory of quantum collapse. According to the theory, when an observation is made on a quantum system, its wave function collapses, causing it to transition from a superposition of states to a specific state. However, new experiments conducted by researchers at the University of Vienna suggest that this theory may be incorrect. The experiments show that the wave function of a particle does not collapse when observed, but instead evolves in a continuous and deterministic manner. This finding contradicts the traditional view of quantum collapse and raises questions about the fundamental nature of reality. The article highlights the implications of these experiments for our understanding of quantum mechanics and the nature of the quantum world.
