One of the ideas that scientists entertain is, whether the real world exists or is it a simulation, like one of their experiments inside the lab. Some conclusions that most people cannot understand is whether the universe follows rules or is in total chaos. An example of this a game of billiards, when the balls are broken when it and goes to a random place. These are many examples of how quantum calculations work, and why it is hard to understand it. Listed down are experiments by quantum scientists to investigate how the quantum space works. It is just a huge billiard table that has billions of possibilities that cannot be controlled.
Kilogram goes the quantum way
Quantum scientists have redefined what a kilogram is, based on the quantum measure. This affects how a kilogram works and how heavy it really is. Once the changes are in place, all scales and measures need to be recalibrated to make this correction.
Reality depends on the observer
In a quantum coin toss done inside a quantum computer that analyzed how photons would react. The result is multiple views of the photons, on where the viewpoint is. One side may not look the same, depending on where the viewer is.
Quantum entanglement has a snapshot
Called "spooky action" because these particles are connected to each other by some unknown force. One example is two black holes that are connected and do not seem to separate. Might even be the reason why wormholes form as speculated on by physicists. Superposition is possible, and multiples are possible too.
Cause and effect is turned topsy turvy
Things in the universe follow a logic called cause and effect, an example is an apple falling because of gravity. What if the opposite happens, and it does not fall down but goes up? One reason is the reversal of cause and effect does happen in the right conditions, but not much is known about its mechanics.
Tunneling into the 5th dimension
Particles are proven to dig into space and form pocket wormholes, by a random chance some particle can make to the other side. Although it might entanglement or some other mechanism or the unknown 5th dimension?
Hello there quantum turtle
A bit of a mystery is found; how supercooled atoms react to a magnetic field. If this happens a pattern of energy forms around it, like a quantum turtle. But some conclusion when the experiment demonstrated a time-reversal when it happened.
A quantum computer did time travel and 16 alternate futures
Scientists caused a particle to travel back in time intentionally and got evidence of the time shift too. Quite a small feat in quantum terms, but shows promise of time-manipulating particles. Another set of experiments done, programmed 16 futures using a quantum device too.
Heat can travel inside a vacuum
Heat energy was projected into a void or vacuum and it traveled through it. It was done without a bridge or conductor, which is something to study later.
