The Quantum Brain 量子大腦 撰文及考題設計 British Council 英協教育中心 Brian Welter 中譯 陳怡君 (中央社編譯) 圖 美聯社
What is quantum physics, and how might it help us to understand human psychology? Quantum physics is the study of the behavior of very small particles. These tiny elements do not behave in the way that Newton’s laws of physics say they should. Scientists cannot predict with certainty how they will act. Now, new research is trying to understand how this mysterious world of the super small affects the brain and therefore how we think, feel, and imagine things. 什麼是量子物理學?它又是如何協助我們理解 人類精神病學呢?量子物理學是一門研究微小粒 子行為的學科。這些粒子的行為並不能以牛頓定 律解釋,科學家也無法準確預測它們的運動。如 今,新的研究正試著解釋這些神祕的粒子如何使 人類大腦思考、感受和想像。
