- Particles are particles and they hop from place to place with a particular probability.
- The probability that a particle will be at one place at one point of time and will be at a different place later is given by a simple rule and depends on mass, time, and distance and these can be calculated.
- An example is accepting an electron will be in one position at one point in time but will be in another position at another point in time and the probability is that it will be in every position in a given area during a specified time.
- In simple terms a particle will move from point A to point B and there is a probability attached. Remember that Quantum Mechanics is the study of the infinity small.
We also watched a video which showed us new uses of science including how we can fight fire with sound.
We also discussed the use of robots and whether they will always take on human form.
Numbers being low and as one of our attendees had to leave early, we called it a day at 3pm. If any other U3A members or their friends are interested in attending, we would welcome them.
