What would happen if a wave function disruptor was used on a table?

In summary, the conversation is about the hypothetical scenario of a real wave function and an object that can disrupt it. The question is whether the Hamiltonian of the wave function has a direct connection to the object and if disrupting the wave function would also disrupt the object. The speaker suggests studying the role of the Hamiltonian in classical mechanics for further understanding.

Supposed, hypothetically, the wave function was real (Bohmians or Many World wise) and there was an "object" (or whatever) that can disrupt wave function. If you have a table and you activate the device and it destroys the wave function of the table. What would happen to the table?

I just want to understand if the Hamiltonian of the wave function has direct correspondence to the object such that if you disrupt the wave function of the object (supposed wave functions were real), the object would be similarly disrupted.. or is the wave function more stretchable and the object or table form is maintained if you can pull on the pilot wave from the table?

... and we're hopelessly off into meaningless speculation. This thread is closed.

You may want to go back and study the role of the Hamiltonian in classical mechanics - anything that affects the system in any way has to show up in the Hamiltonian.
 

Related to What would happen if a wave function disruptor was used on a table?

1. What is a wave function disruptor?

A wave function disruptor is a hypothetical device that is capable of altering the behavior of subatomic particles by manipulating their wave functions. It is believed that such a device would have the ability to disrupt the properties of matter, such as shape, size, and location.

2. How would a wave function disruptor affect a table?

If a wave function disruptor was used on a table, it could potentially alter the properties of the table's atoms and molecules, causing changes in its shape, size, and even its location. This could lead to the table appearing to warp or move, or even disintegrate completely.

3. Is it possible to create a wave function disruptor?

Currently, there is no known technology or scientific understanding that would allow for the creation of a wave function disruptor. The concept is purely theoretical and is still being explored by scientists and researchers.

4. What would be the consequences of using a wave function disruptor on a table?

If a wave function disruptor was successfully created and used on a table, the consequences could be significant. It could potentially cause the table to become unstable, collapse, or even have a chain reaction with other objects around it.

5. Could a wave function disruptor be used for practical purposes?

At this time, it is not possible to create a wave function disruptor, so its practical applications are purely speculative. However, if such a device could be created, it could potentially have a wide range of uses in fields such as materials science, quantum computing, and even medicine.
