HW#10: Quantum Theory



As we continue to look into the deeper meaning of the creature that is known as the Slender man, we find interesting connections that we wouldn't in our rightest of minds believe possible to be associated with Slender. From research done on Slender from 2009 until 2012, many people have associated Slender with many possibilities ranging from adressing the Slender man as an extraterrestrial and right down to the commonly accepted Tulpa Effect (thought form).

But from my further research I found other scientifical explainations into the Slender myth. From the start of this project, I assumed that science would evidently topple myth, and possibly this might be true. After wondering around further Slender researches I came to his connection to the Tulpa Effect. Further deeper into the rabbits hole, Tulpa was then connected to another scientific study that is known as the Quantum Theory. This got me wondering, What is the Quantum Theory all about?

Tulpa Effect + Quantum Theory + Mythology = Legend in History



Upon further research, I stumbled accross an article intitled Quantum Theory (Margaret Rouse, 2006) According to the author, The Quantum Theory states that it is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. (Dr. Max Planck, 1900 – Quantum Theory) This theory suggests that electrons and other fundamental particles have what is called a wave function, or ψ or what is called The Copenhagen model, posits that this wave function is a probability distribution of the particle in question, and is collapsed by an external measurement into certainty. Thus, the particle could be anywhere in space-time, but has a greater probability of being located at one position than another. When the wave function is collapsed by an observer or measurement, it is forced to randomly choose a position with respect to the probability of the equation. Thus meaning energy waves (which according to research is all around us) creates a some-what illusionist effect. 

Quantum Theory Model

Although scientists throughout the past century have balked at the implications of quantum theory - Planck and Einstein among them - the theory's principles have repeatedly been supported by experimentation, even when the scientists were trying to disprove them. Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of relativity form the basis for modern physics. The principles of quantum physics are being applied in an increasing number of areas, including quantum optics, quantum chemistry, quantum computing, and quantum cryptography.

~(Margaret Rouse, 2006)

In general sum, this theory correlates to the Slender man myth suggesting that the Quantum Theory is the scientific explaination to Slender man's supernatural powers. In mythology under Slender, he is said to have special supernatural powers of teleportation, and static manipulation of radio waves and anything electronic. So, the theory suggests that Slender's powers originate from the energy the comes from around the environment (which is what the Quantum Theory states). Electorns from the the atmosphere are gathered and harnest to provide the feeling of distortion and what most would call illusionist feeling.

So again, science provides logic into myth. Whether or not Slender's powers are true or whether he does exists is entirely on our pespective of reality as I mentioned countless times. But the Quantum Theory does provide significant elements to relate witht the mythology not only od Slender man but other mythical creatures. Co aside with the Tulpa Effect which being a thought form, it strenghtens the mythology even greater.
I am positive from last the research done on Slender man that Tulpa and Quantum are key elements to the myth. Regardless of such, science will always take its place to reveal the truth of the unexplainable.
