Quantum Amplitudes and Game of Life
This chapter examines the dynamics of amplitude distributions in quantum physics, using Conway's Game of Life as an analogy for interdependent systems. It elucidates how these amplitudes shift over time rather than focusing on individual particle positions, drawing parallels between quantum mechanics and cellular automata. Through discussions of light behavior, Schrödinger's equation, and the interplay of mass and energy, the chapter reveals the complexities and misconceptions inherent in understanding quantum reality.
