Quantum Theory

[chefster]

How much does it have to do with the outcome of another major war?

Uh. Do you have anything more specific? Do you know what quantum theory is?

Well, I am somewhat of a science geek, and theorist....but ,I pose the question on matter and energy only for possible answers. After all ,War is all about matter and energy. Does that release of matter and energy come from an unknown equation that the quantum theory can find.:unknown

If wars were fought on a sub atomic scale then sure maybe, but they are not. The probability of a quantum event occurring on the macro scale, i.e. large enough to have any effect on a conflict are inconceivably small. So IMO no quantum theory has very little to do with armed conflict. Special and General Relativity have a little more.

yes , but my latsest understanding is that a single subatomic bubble can grow to effect the entire universe. From Science Friday;

Sure, inflation theory points to a multiverse founded and grown through quantum events. However these events occurring in a time frame or on a scale to effect an armed conflict on the planet earth are inconceivably small. According to quantum theory there would probably a higher probability of me dematerialize and reforming on the planet mars. Intervention of a foreign (alien) species is probably more likely.

DefenceTalk is a defence related forum, not a science/physics discussion forum or board.

Chefster, please explain what direct relationship if any, between quantum physics and defence matters you are wondering about within the next 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in this thread being locked, as at present the discussion is fftopic.

My point is ,the out break of war can be out of our control ,unless we fully understand the equation that may start it and therefore alter that equation through yet to be explored theories. Therefore, "Defense' , being the study of these little known [Quantum]theories and how to apply them in the application of avoiding war.
Twenty years ago we never thought top Russian chess players would be challenged by computers....where are we going now should not be thought of in linear terms ,but in exponential factors.
Code breakers in WWII,changed the course of the war. Perhaps Quantum geeks will change the tomorrows course as well...thats all I have to say about this..I must move on,It was just a thought . Thank You for making me follow through with it and write about it. I am off to do a Viet Nam reinactment of cooking under fire.

Since there was not an explanation for a direct connection between defence matters and quantum theory, thread locked.
