The strange world of quantum physics is well understood - well almost. Welcome to the strange new world of quantum biology. Without it, everything would zip around at the speed of light. In the strange world of quantum mechanics, a thing is everywhere until you look at it. With a variation on the famous double-slit experiment of quantum mechanics, scientists Yves Couder and Emmanuel Fort from the University of Paris 7 are rewriting the textbooks. Engineers design our appliances using quantum physics every day. Their accomplishment, however, has less to fluctuations into real photons. On a macroscopic scale the universe appears very rational, and yet on closer inspection things are not quite what they seem. The Quantum Workshops mission statement is: Why isn't the world more weird? The weird world of quantum mechanics includes innumerable counterintuitive phenomena. I don't mean that it could be anywhere. (Phys.org) —In the strange world of quantum mechanics, the vacuum state (sometimes referred to as the quantum vacuum, simply as the vacuum) is a quantum system's lowest possible energy state. This is how we discovered the totally unexpected and strange world of quantum mechanics. On the face of things, quantum mechanics and the biological sciences do not mix. In the strange world of quantum physics, the Higgs boson particle that Peter Higgs theorized in 1966 endows basic elements in the universe with mass.
