[450] Norton Alert

[George Andrews]

At the sub-atomic level, matter does not exist with certainty at definite places, but rather shows 'tendencies to exist' and atomic events do not occur with certainty at definite times and in definite ways, but rather show 'tendencies to occur'. In the formalism of quantum theory, these tendencies are expressed as probabilities and are associated with mathematical quantities which take the form of waves. This is why particles can be waves at the same time. They are not 'real' three-dimensional waves like sound or water waves. 
They are 'probability waves', abstract mathematical quantities with all the characteristic properties of waves which are related to the probabilities of finding the particles (or Norton) at particular points in space (or hamfests) and at particular times.

Not to mention "Schrödinger's cat" as yet another example or thought experiment.
