ZA_1_22 — Observer Effect in Quantum Mechanics

The observer effect in quantum mechanics refers to the fundamental principle that measuring a quantum system inevitably disturbs it, and more profoundly, that the act of measurement appears to force a quantum system from

ZA_4_26 — Luminiferous Aether: The Medium That Wasn't, and the Physics It Created

Luminiferous aether — from the Latin lumen (light) and Greek aithēr (upper sky) — was the hypothetical medium through which light was thought to propagate. Just as sound requires air, 19th-century physics held that light
