Experiment confirms quantum theory weirdness
The bizarre nature of reality as laid out by quantum theory has survived another test, with scientists performing a famous experiment and proving that reality does not exist until it is measured. Physicists have conducted John Wheeler’s delayed-choice thought experiment, which involves a moving object that is given the choice to act like a particle or a wave. The group reversed Wheeler’s original experiment, and used helium atoms scattered by lig…

Looks like it might not be long before Doctor Who Tech becomes a reality. Granted we are a long way off from a real Sonic Screwdriver that does what the Doctor’s one really does beyond props and TV remote controls, but as Sol3 science grows, you never know. What”s next, Laser?
Researchers invent tiny sonic screwdriver
Using an array of loudspeakers, researchers have created swirling vortices of sound that were used to manipulate microscopic particles.
