Question
Happy New Year, and may your fruitful work continue. Most if not all of what I know about advanced physics comes from popular science literature, so that is the level I’m speaking from. As I understand it, there is a contradiction between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and really with the entire physical conception [superposition]. But seemingly one could say that, as is known, the photon moves at the speed of light, so “for it” our time does not exist = “0”, and if there is no time then there is no space. Therefore, when we evaluate it according to what it is, it is in a superposition [located everywhere and nowhere. A wave.] But when we come to measure it according to the values of our reality, then according to “our” reality it has speed and location [a particle], so that is, as it were, we “create” space and time for it, meaning that according to our frame of reference it was never in another place. That is, there is really no “collapse” of the wave function; both exist together [like our small and limited world within an infinite space]. Thank you in advance for your patience, Dani.
Answer
Hello Dani. There are a lot of confusions and misunderstandings here. This is not the place for a course in quantum theory. Sorry.
