What Does Quantum Theory Have To Explain About Reality
The ideas about the relation between quantum theory and our reality are still not clear. Both scientists and philosophers are keen on discovering how quantum theory influences our reality in case it does. In the 19th century, new discoveries were made about light, that changed everything about our ideas about light and its nature. Thomas Young proves with his double-slit experiment that light has wavelike properties and successfully challenged the previous theory of light being a particle by Isaac Newton. It was the birth of quantum physics in the 1900s that proved that light is made of tiny indivisible units of energy called photons. When Young experimented with single photons, or electrons and neutrons, it was still a difficult experiment to complete, which also raised new questions about the nature…
