Quantum Entanglement – Weirdness in Action 9.5
26. How does a CAT-scan work?

Ans: In CAT scans, photoelectric devices convert X-ray photons into
electrical currents whose strength can be used to produce a
picture of a patient's internal organs.
Difficulty: Easy
Response:
27. Why is quantum mechanics an appropriate name for this field of

study?
Ans: “Quantum” is Latin for bundle and mechanics is the study of
motion. Scientists who do their research in quantum
mechanics work on problems related to the motion of small
bundles of atomic particles.
Difficulty: Easy
Response:
Page 10
28. What are some similarities and differences between measuring an

object in the quantum world and measuring an object in the
macroscopic world?
Ans: Both measurements require a sample, a source of energy that
interacts with the sample, and a detector to observe and
measure the interaction. In everyday experience, the sample is
too large to be affected by the energy source. However, in the
quantum world, the energy source will alter the item you plan
to measure. Therefore, measuring at the subatomic level does
not “follow the rules” of classic Newtonian mechanics. In the
quantum world, all measurements profoundly affect the object
being measured.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
29. What are the many “trade-offs” in the Heisenberg uncertainty

principle?
Ans: The main trade-offs are that if you know the velocity of a
quantum particle, you can't know the location, and vice versa.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
30. How are predictions approached in the quantum world versus the
macroscopic world?
Ans: In the macroscopic world predictions are made by applying
Newton's laws of motion. If, for example, you know the
position, velocity, and direction of an object, you can predict
the location of that object at some point in time in the future.
In the quantum world, on the other hand, the location and
velocity of that object are predicted in probabilities.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Probabilities 9.2

31. Is there any similarity between testing the brain and measuring
quantum objects? Explain your answer.
Ans: Yes, there is a similar duality. The physical brain could be
measured; however, consciousness of the mind can not.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Quantum Entanglement—Weirdness in Action 9.5
32. Why do we describe quantum-scale events in terms of probabilities?

Ans: Probabilities are used to express quantum scale events
because we can not measure these events in a direct way.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Probabilities 9.2
33. Describe the phenomenon of quantum teleportation and how it might

relate to future transportation.
Ans: Using a pair of entangled photons that are separated from one
another, and a signal photon, it is possible to recreate the
signal photon under the right circumstances. In a very small
way, this is similar to the concept of the Star Trek
'transporters' where an object simultaneously appears and
reappears in different spaces. However, a very advanced
computer would be required to put all of the atoms back in the
same spaces they occupied prior to transport so that the entity
transported would maintain its identity.

34. Considering what you know of the issues of uncertainty in a quantum

world, what would be a “policeman's dilemma” of giving you a
“speeding ticket” in a quantum world?
Ans: If he knows the place, then he doesn't the know speed; if he
knows the speed, he doesn't know the place.
Response:
Probabilities 9.2
35. Why did quantum scientists, including Albert Einstein, one of the
founders of quantum mechanics, find the research so disconcerting?
Ans: Most scientists in the early 1900s came from a foundation of
Newtonian physics where the universe ran like a dependable
clock and predictions were reliable. The state of the quantum
world systems can also be predicted, but the predictions have
to be in probabilities. Many scientists, including Einstein, had
difficulty accepting the uncertainties associated with an atomic
world.
Response:
36. If a neurologist is looking for a brain tumor in a patient, what is the

sample, the source of energy, and the detector used to make the
measurement?
Ans: The sample is the patient; the source of energy is the CAT
scan equipment; the detector is the exposed film on which the
results are shown.
Response:
Page 13
37. How has quantum mechanics revolutionized the physics community?

Ans: Quantum mechanics offers different descriptions of the
universe based on probability rather than on mechanical
certainty.
Response:
38. How do electrons exist in very discrete orbits rather than in a

continuous range of orbits?
Ans: Answers will vary, but it may be because they probably exist
as wave forms rather than only as particles.
Response:
39. How is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle applied in the

non-quantum world?
Ans: In general, the uncertainty principle has shown us that
observing any situation changes the situation. For example, in
the social sciences, the act of observing people likely changes
their behavior and this must be taken into account in research.
Response:
40. If quantum mechanics is a way of predicting how subatomic particles

change in time, how can knowledge about the state of an electron be
used in prediction?
Ans: If you know the state of an electron now, you can use that
information and quantum mechanics to predict the state of
that electron in the future.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Page 14
41. Describe the uncertainty equation in word form (without symbols).

Ans: Uncertainty in position multiplied by uncertainty in velocity is
greater than the Planck constant divided by the mass of the
object in question.
Difficulty: Easy
Response:
42. If you were flipping two identical coins in two separate locations, what
would be the result of those coin flips if the coins were somehow
obeying the concept of quantum entanglement?
Ans: The coins would simultaneously flip with the same side up
every time.
Difficulty: Easy
Response:
43. In the Newtonian view of physics, what is the concept of the Divine
Calculator?
Ans: The Divine Calculator could predict the future state of all
particles in the universe because it would know the position
and velocity of all particles and it would know the precise rules
governing their behavior.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
44. What is a Bohr orbit of an electron?

Ans: The Bohr orbit of an electron is the only orbit in which it makes
no difference if the electron is viewed as a particle or a wave.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Page 15
45. Describe the photoelectric effect?

Ans: When light strikes one side of a thin sheet of specially designed
material, electrons are shaken loose from their home atoms
and emerge from the opposite side of the thin sheet.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
46. Why is the wave-particle duality typically confusing to the human

mind?
Ans: Because we are accustomed to thinking of waves and particles
as separate concepts, the thought of something like a photon
being at the same time a particle and a wave is confusing. The
human mind is not accustomed to combining such concepts
and this makes it difficult to fathom.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
47. If you were a quantum outfielder on an atom-sized baseball field, how

would you go about considering how to catch a baseball?
Ans: You could not know the velocity and the position of the
baseball at any one time. You would have to guess based on
probabilities how fast the baseball is moving and where it is
located. This would make a perfect catch unlikely in this
scenario.
Difficulty: Medium
Response:
Probabilities 9.2
Page 16
48. What is one practical application of the quantum teleportation of

photons?
Ans: Quantum teleported photons have been used to send images
from one place to another. Other forms of quantum
communication are also possible.
Difficulty: Easy
Response:
49. How do our experiences with the large objects of our physical world
work to our disadvantage in trying to understand very small objects
of the quantum world?
Ans: The uncertainties of the quantum world are at odds with our
perceptions of the certainty of things like velocity and position
in the larger physical world in which we live. We cannot
visualize the quantum world in familiar terms.
Response:
50. The state of most electrical devices is either on or off. What states
would exist for a quantum electric device?
Ans: A quantum device would not have only on or off options. The
quantum device could be in many states, or mixes of the
probabilities of the two states of on and off. This means many
new possible applications for such devices.

"'Cheer up, old mother,' said I; 'cheer up, Polly, my lass;
please God, we'll save some of them poor souls.'"
"I lost not a moment getting ready, and only stopped to kiss
Polly and Granny and the children. Maybe I should never
kiss them again, I said to myself."
"'Father,' said my little lass, 'here's a present for you;' and

she put in my hand a little bit of newspaper, tied up with
blue wool. I had no time to look inside, but I gave her a
kiss, and tucked it inside my shirt, and off I went as fast as
I could run to Peter's shed."
ON AN ERRAND OF MERCY.
"Our men were hurrying in from all directions. Nine had

turned up when I got there, and the others came soon after.
Our cork-jackets and our life-belts were hung up in their
proper places in the boat-house, and we got them on in less
time than I can tell you about it. Then we got the boat out,
and put everything ready; and whilst they were yoking in
the horses, to drag her down to the shore, I had just a
moment to spare, and I pulled out little Jessie's parcel and
looked what was in it. It was a little text-card she had got at
the Sunday-school—her prettiest one, bless her! I read the
text on it by the lamp in the boat-house. I wanted to have a
look at it, for I did not know if I should ever see my little
lass again. There were only three little words on Jessie's
card, and I had them in my mind all night, Master Stanley.
It was a little prayer:"
"LORD, SAVE ME!"
"I put the card back in my bosom, and away I went with the
boat. Our lads had got four strong horses to drag her down
to the sea, and we ran along beside them, ready to push
her off and jump in as quickly as possible."
HASTE TO THE RESCUE!
"The ship had struck on some rocks about five miles away;
so the farmer told us who had ridden over for the boat. He
said the coastguardsmen over there had got the rockets
out, and they were busy with them when he started. She
was a big craft, and seemed to have a lot of men aboard
her."
"As soon as we got the lifeboat to the water, we all jumped

into her, and then came the hard struggle to get her off. As
fast as we pulled her off from shore there came a great high
wave, and dashed her in again."
"It was all of no use, Master Stanley; no power that we
could use could get her off, and we should have had to give
it up for a bad job, if we had only had our arms to trust to.
But Peter had sent off for a steam-tug lying a bit farther up
the coast, and as soon as she came up and took us in tow,
we began to make way."
"You know, Miss Hilda, our lifeboat; she's not like these
other boats you see about; she's made as light as she can
be, and her sides are filled with air, so that she rises like a
cork to the top of the sea."
STEAM-TUG TOWING THE LIFEBOAT.

"The water flowed into the boat, and over her, but still she
floated. We seemed to be plunging through the waves the
whole way. Then came a wave bigger than the rest, and
broke over the boat, and quite buried her for a moment;
but up she jumped and shook herself free, little beauty that
she is!"
"And once, Master Stanley, there came a great breaker,

rushing along, and catching her up, it threw her right over,
and we were all sent headlong into the sea. I thought it was
all up with us then; but in a minute she had righted herself
again, and we in our cork-jackets had come to the top, and
had clambered into her again, one after another, till all were
there and ready to go on."
"Away, away, over the raging waves. I shall never forget it

as long as I live. And all the way, Miss Hilda, my little
Jessie's prayer was ringing in my ears:"
"LORD, SAVE ME!"
"Even the wind and the waves seemed to be saying it. And
if ever I prayed, Master Stanley, I prayed that night in the
lifeboat; for death was very near, and I was not sure that
night that my soul was safe. But I seemed to see the Lord
coming out to save me, just as I was going after them poor
creatures in the ship; and I cried to Him from the bottom of
my heart, 'Lord, save me!'"
"And, Miss Hilda, He heard me; I know He did."

"We were getting round the point now, and every man of us
was on the look-out for the wreck. It was so thick, for a
time it seemed impossible to find her, but we could hear the
sound of rockets in the distance, and we caught now and
then a gleam of light through the darkness."
"You'll have seen the rockets, maybe, Master Stanley?"
"Yes, we always have rockets on the Fifth of November,"

said Hilda; "we had two dozen last year."
THE ROCKET APPARATUS.
"They are very useful things are rockets in our work, little.
Missy. We fasten a thin cord to them and fire them over the
ship in distress. Peter will show you the boxes we keep our
lines in. There are two rows of pegs inside the box, and the
line is wound round them in such a way that when the pegs
are drawn out it will uncurl quite easily. Then the rocket is
fired, and the line is shot quickly out of the box, and it
never stands a chance of getting tangled or knotted. Then
as soon as the lads on board the sinking ship manage to
catch hold of the line they draw it in, and we fasten to the
end of it a strong stout cable, and many a poor fellow we
get in that way."
FIRING THE ROCKET.
"Well, as I said, they were busy with the rockets when we

got near, and we made in the direction in which we saw
them going. Suddenly there came a bright light, Master
Stanley, and then we saw it all. It was a flare which some
sailor on board the sinking ship was holding up to show us
where they lay."
SHOWING A FLARE.
"We had got very near them by this time, and when that
light showed us where they were, it was enough to make us
shudder. She had settled down by the stern on the rocks:
her bows were sticking up above the water, but her deck
was nearly covered: her masts were broken, her sails were
torn, and the poor things aboard her were clinging to the
rigging."
"Little by little we made them out, Miss Hilda, and a pitiful
sight it was. There were women there, and little children,
and I thought of Polly, and of Harry, and Jess, and baby
Maggie ('Father's Magpie.' we used to call her); and I felt I
would do anything to save them poor women and children.
So I said my prayer again, 'Lord, save me.' and I held firmly
on."
THE LIFE BELT.
"And now the sea was carrying us on with tremendous force

towards the wreck, and when we had gone as near as we
dare, we cast anchor to prevent ourselves being dashed in
pieces on the rocks. We had a stout cable fastened to the
anchor, and we began to let it out little by little so that we
might get closer to the sinking ship."
"Oh, how anxious we were now! All so still, all waiting, not a
whisper to be heard, except Peter's voice telling us what to
do."
THROWING THE LIFE-LINE.
"Then a huge wave lifted us: we let out a few yards of rope,
and we were alongside."
"Quick, quick as lightning, a woman and a girl were tumbled

into the boat. 'All hands to the cable; haul in, hand over
hand! For your lives, men, quick!' cried Peter; for he saw
another great breaker coming, and he knew that unless we
drew ourselves away, we should be dashed to pieces on the
wreck."
THE RESCUE.
"Again we watched and waited, and as soon as a smaller

wave came, once more we let out the rope, and got
alongside again. This time we were able to stay longer; and
so we came backwards and forwards, till one by one eight
persons were safe on board."
"'Are they all saved, all here?' shouted Peter."

ON THE ROCKS.
"No; several men and women were still clinging to the

rigging; our work was not done yet. The next time we got
near the ship a sailor threw a bundle down, and I caught it,
though I had half a mind to throw it into the sea. I thought
it was a blanket, Miss Hilda, and we wanted no extra
luggage aboard, I can tell you."
"But what in the world do you think it was? It was a little

baby! A tiny mite of a thing, just the picture of my Magpie;
and her mother had wrapped her up in the blanket, and
given her to the sailor to throw in. Poor lamb, we put her
down in the bottom of the boat, and she cried a bit, but we
had no time to think of her then; there was her mother to
save, and a lot of others besides. We could not do with any
more of them at that time; we were getting overweighted
as it was, so we got them all, poor things, aboard the
steamer, and then back we went to the wreck."
THE BABY IN THE BLANKET.
"We never should have saved them all—there would not

have been time; but they were getting a good many ashore
by the rope which the rocket had taken out. I'll show you,
Master Stanley, the thing they bring them in. We call it the
breeches-buoy. They put their legs in the breeches, and the
buoy holds them up, and they are drawn along the rope to
the shore."
SAVED BY THE BREECHES-BUOY.
"At last the cry went up—'All saved!' and we began to make
for shore."
"Maybe you think it was a hard time for me, Miss Hilda, but
I'll tell you who it was worse for—it was worse for Polly, and
Granny, and the bairns. They all turned out, poor souls,
after I left, and stood at the edge of the pier, with the wind
blowing in their faces, looking out over the dark sea trying
to catch the first sight of our boat. And when at last they
saw the steamer making for the pier, they, and the old
sailors standing with them, and all the wives and lasses of
the other men, raised such a shout of joy that we heard it,
Master Stanley, above the raging of the storm. I often seem
to hear that shout in my dreams even now."
FRIENDS IN DISTRESS.
"But poor Polly wasn't happy yet. Maybe the boat's coming,
but not Jonah, she thought. And Granny caught hold of her
shawl and cried 'Look, Polly, my dear, is my lad aboard, dost
thou think?' It was Jess that first caught sight of me, bless
her. 'There's my daddy, Mother!' she cried; 'God's brought
him safe home again.' Then away they all rushed to the
landing-place, to be ready to meet us:—all the wives and
children, Polly, and Jess, and Harry, and even little Magpie.
Polly took her from a neighbour's arms, and brought her to
meet me."
"Oh, what a meeting we all had, Miss Hilda, down there on
the shore! It was almost like getting me back from the
dead, Polly said, for she never expected to see me again.
And Father's Magpie put her wee arms round my neck and
screamed for joy, and Jess and Harry danced round me and
clapped their hands, and Polly said 'Thank God!' and old
Granny wound up with 'Amen.'"
THE LIFEBOAT-MAN'S RETURN—THE WELCOME HOME.
"But we'd had no time to think of ourselves, Master Stanley.

The tug was coming ashore, and there were the poor half-
drowned creatures off the wreck to be cared for. Polly had
made up a big fire in the kitchen; the tide had gone down,
and the floor was getting dry, and our cottage was one of
those nearest the shore."
"They wanted looking after, poor things: some of them were

almost dead. We carried the women in litters, and the poor
bairns we took in our arms. I picked up a bonny little lassie,
just about as big as our Jess. She had nothing on but her
little white night-gown and a wee shawl; the children were
in bed when the ship struck, and her mother had hurried
her up on deck just as she was. We fetched her in the first
boat, but her mother was one of the last to be saved; and
she was so weak and faint when we got her aboard that
some of them thought she was dead. She lay down in the
bottom of the boat and took no notice of anything, and
none of us knew she belonged to the child for some time
after we got ashore. So Polly and me fetched this little
Missy home, and Polly dressed her in our Jessie's clothes
and gave her some warm coffee, and she and Jess sat
chatting by the fire together as if they were two little
sisters."
"I sat with my pipe in my mouth, watching them and

listening to their pretty talk. I was well-nigh tired out; and,
after a time, I began to nod, and I think I was dreaming,
Master Stanley, I still seemed to know what the children
were saying, when all at once I felt a hand on my shoulder,
and, looking up, I saw Peter standing over me."
"'Jonah, my lad,' he said, 'I want a word with thee outside.'"
"It was terrible news he had brought, Miss Hilda—that

bonny little lassie's mother was dead. She had never looked
up since we got her ashore. She was the only one of them
we lost, and she was ill at the time, so I've heard, and
couldn't have lived many months if she'd got over it. It was
hard work fighting with the waves that night in the lifeboat;
but it was child's-play to what I had to do now, to go in and
tell the little dear that her mother was dead. I called Polly
out and told her she must do it, and Polly did nothing but
cry and sob and say, 'No,' she couldn't. And once I got as
far as the door, Miss Hilda, and then, when I heard her and
our Jess laughing and playing together, I turned back again,
old coward that I was!"
"It was Jess that did it at last, good little Jess. I sent for her
out on the beach, and asked her did she think she could tell
it as gentle as could be. So Jess looked very white, poor
dear, but she said she would try, and in she went, and Polly
and me stood at the door and listened. And Jessie was the
best one, after all, Master Stanley, for she threw her arms
round the little lady's neck and asked her, 'Did she know
where her mother was gone?' When the poor little dear said
'No, she didn't,' Jess took her to the window, and pointed
up to a hole in the clouds where a bit of blue sky was
peeping through, and, says Jess, 'She's gone up there to
God's home; my daddy says she has!' And when the little
lass began to cry, Jess talked to her beautiful, she did
indeed, Master Stanley; and me and Polly wiped our eyes,
and kept as still as mice, lest they should hear us."
"Well, she was with us a good bit, was that little lass. I
wouldn't give her up to none of them. Doctor wanted her—
parson wanted her—Miss Benson at the Hall wanted her.
'No', I says, 'begging your pardon, I fetched her from the
wreck, and she's my bairn till somebody comes for her.' He
was abroad was her father, and Captain couldn't find his
