quantum mechanics - Why does the photon strike at one or another place on the tape?


I am more than happy in accepting the wave nature of light and the fact that each of photons has probabilistic distribution "coded" within itself. But what is about the particle's part and the locality principle?


I can understand the essences of the quantum mechanic world and the fact that it was built upon the probability theory and acceptance of existence of truly random variables. But what is about hidden variables? Why is the concept of truly random variable so comfortable for physicists?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
