Also it shows that 'just logics', being the classic boolean propositional logic, might fail at describing reality in detail.(June 12, 2010 at 4:11 pm)Purple Rabbit Wrote: A particle cannot pass through both slits at once, still that's what experiment tells us. What evidence do you need to falsify A=A if this is not enough?What exactly is (A) when you consider this particular experiment?
If something appears illogical at least in our universe, that is probably because human has not yet understood the heart of the process, in this case the double slits experiment.
You tell me how A=A should be applied to reality knowing that a particle can be at two plces at the same time. If it cannot be applied to the things in reality what use has it and what does that mean for clasic boolean logic that is so innate in our thinking?

For a person at that time, this might have been illogical. After a while, logical explanations started to come up.This example is of quite another magnitude than QM. Rutherford's is about not knowing the physical properties of the atom up front. The double slit experiment is about one particle being simultanuously at two places.
