LECTURE 34
     questions before lecture

think about these

  • Name two pairs of complementary or conjugate variables.
  • What is the relationship between predictability and determinism? How did Newton's laws of motion introduce determinism as a worldview?
  • When we studied processes that include tunneling before, what role did it play and what would have happened in the universe if either there weren't tunneling or if barriers being tunneled through were lower?
  • How do we measure anything? How do we know anything?
  • Can we observe without changing the system we observe? Give examples to support your answer.
