“Our quantum universe”: the mysteries of the infra-world

Popularizing the infinitely small is a big deal. Nevertheless, Our quantum universethe new American documentary of Daniel McCabe. Nevertheless, Jaroslav Savol, broadcast on Arte as part of the Night of the Stars, is hitting with precision and a sharp sense of pedagogy. Consequently, This delicacy is not too much to explore the Byzantine anfracuities of quantum physics. Meanwhile, this branch of sciences with impenetrable complexity, where gravitational waves, space-time measurements, wave-startle and other infinitesimal intrications are intertwined. In other words, a field considered by the specialists themselves as “bizarre” and “strange”. Almost a crazy nave. This physico-mathematical sea still partially unknown and misunderstood, however, responds to a logic. “our quantum universe”: mysteries infra-world It is still necessary to decipher the rules of the game of this mysterious world.

Or. therefore, quantum physics, the field of the study of reality at its most fundamental subatomic level, that where the interactions between matter and energy are scrutinized. We owe his discovery to synthesis. operated at the beginning of the XX^e century, between particle physics and that of waves. Studied at its quantum level. this new physics thwarts the universal and immutable rules which hitherto governed the laws of so -called classic physics. The probability reigns there supreme, at the foot of the nose to determinism of mathematics. This counter-intuitive logic had gave many scholars to the hard time. “God does not play dice with the universe!” »»had notably exclaimed Albert Einstein.

In a century, the amazement of the scientific community has given way to concrete applications and new discoveries. GPS. lasers, “our quantum universe”: mysteries infra-world computers and smartphones would not exist without the atomic clocks developed in the 1960s, now refined by quantum technology. Likewise. the inexorable evaporation of black holes and the finitude of the universe were predicted by Stephen Hawking, from quantum reasoning. Ready!
