Fluid Tests Hint at Concrete Quantum Reality

Turn out that when Einstein was saying "God do not play dice" he may have been right.

I know it will all be made crystal-clear soon enough.

I haven't read the whole thing, but I think it's about quantum mechanics not being that special, after all.

That ain't tunneling.

And the walkers are not quantized....

It's very interesting, but tunneling, real tunneling, is very well documented at multiple scales.

Until they can show that, I will go on believing the weirder quantum stuff just is so.

Here is tunneling.

Unbelievably brilliant!

For the first time students can see examples of particles behaving according to the math and experiments of quantum physics.

This is very cool but two things I notice. The quantized orbits are not really quantized the silicon droplet is there more often. But spends plenty of real time crossing between orbits. Likewise the tunneling droplet can be seen crossing the barrier and taking time to do it. Perhaps I was misled, but my understanding of tunneling was that it was instantaneous and featured the disappearance of the particle from one position and appearance in another.

These experiments produce some very cool things with similar features, but they are not the same things. Will this help us to understand quantum particles?
