An Iconic Physics Experiment Could Unlock a Theory of Everything

A new twist on a legendary physics experiment may hold the key to unlocking the theory of everything. The single particle, double slit experiment is one that proves particles can be waves, as well. This new version of the experiment will have particles redirected after passing through one of the slits, possibly violating the Born rule and uncovering some of the central mysteries of our great unknown world.

Key Takeaways:

• An iconic physics experiment may be the key to unlocking a theory everything.
• One of the foundational of quantum mechanics is that it’s impossible to truly pinpoint where a particle is.
• The rule is used throughout Quantum physics but never actually been proven.

“That makes the Born rule a good place to start looking if you want to improve quantum theory. Essentially, if you can find a way to violate the Born rule, then you’ve discovered an area where quantum mechanics is incomplete.”
