Thrusters DiaryYou are in: Cornwall > Surfing & extreme sports > Thrusters Diary > Thursters Theory Thruster and friend hit the beach Thursters TheoryEver feel like your mates don't give you the respect you deserve for your awesome surfing? Fear not, you really are as good as you think. What's more, the proof of that comes from no less an authority than the world of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a branch of Physics that describes the world at the microscopic scale.听Some of the phenomena it reveals are bizarre, and even leading physicists are struggling to come up with reasonable explanations of what's going on. Facts about ThrusterThruster didn't take up surfing until he was 19, but soon became hooked and was determined to let neither a late start, nor a remarkable dearth of natural talent stand in his way. Now pushing 41 he still sincerely believes it is only a matter of time before he becomes world champion. Also obsessed with snowboarding, at which he is marginally more impressive (he can stand up), Thruster has been writing surfing and extreme sports articles for 15 years. His next journalistic challenge is to write a good one. 成人快手 Break: Gwithian Surf Trips: Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Philippines, Fiji, Indonesia, NZ, Hawaii, Australia, South Africa, Canaries, Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland. El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama. Surfers' Ear Operations: 3 (but needs another) Would love to live in: Galicia Board: 6'4" x 18 戮 rounded pin (and a 7'4" log when really desperate) Standard: Easily one of the best in his cul-de-sac. The famous double-slit experiment for example involves firing tiny particles through two slits and looking at the pattern they make on a screen on the other side.听 The patterns produced on the screen make it seem as if the particles are behaving like waves and interfering with each other, rather than matter.听 But even when the particles are fired one at a time so they can't interfere, they still produced a wave interference pattern. This means that after being fired the atom must be splitting in 2, going through both slits at the same time and interfering with itself, which is clearly bizarre and completely at odds with how we assume the world works. But here's the weirdest bit, as soon as you set up detectors at each slit to try to observe exactly what is going on, the atoms go back to behaving like normal golf balls again. It's as if they know they're being watched and don't want to give away their secret. I'd go out in all conditions and so would often find myself surfing alone.听Quite often, I'd be surfing really well (for me) and in my head would be planning my route to the world crown when suddenly, half way through the surf I'd start surfing terribly, wiping out on take-off and generally looking like a donkey.听 I noticed that this always seemed to coincide with either my girlfriend or my sister having arrived on the beach to watch. The fact I was being observed was affecting the way I performed. It was just as reliable as the double slit experiment.听 It's a fact of physics! When your mates watch you surf, even without your knowledge, it affects the way you surf.听 I am in fact the world class ripper I always wanted to be, it's just that when the world watches, I can't stand up. Meanwhile my mate Tyson actually CAN'T stand up, except when someone's looking, which transforms him into a legend. This is a scientific truth, there's no denying it. Ask Tys, he'll tell you. He's actually pants. The world of quantum mechanics obviously doesn't just affect surfing. It also affects appearances. While I have a full head of hair and all of my mates are bald, just the act of being observed makes it appear the other way round (see Albert Einstein's "Quantum theory and receding hair anomalies", 1941). Amazing. Thrusterlast updated: 15/05/2009 at 12:44 You are in: Cornwall > Surfing & extreme sports > Thrusters Diary > Thursters Theory |
