Bungie's Quantum Mechanics Equation is Causing A Stir

Calling all mathematicians and/or nerds out there, the public needs your help. Above is a Quantum Mechanic equation, namely Schrodinger's Equation. fierce Scuba of Loot Ninja know this because he took a year of Advanced Physical Chemistry in Graduate school. Bungie posted this equation recently on a post and people are speculating over what it means.

Quantum Mechanics is math with no numbers so to speak. Symbols and an expressions all have values, but are computed to either make the function reappear, equal to zero, or one.

So what is the point? This could be a major plot spoiler.

The sole fact these guys want to incorporate quantum mechanics into Halo 3 scares him to death.

So apparantly Schrodinger did some thought experiments with a cat (not a real cat). If the cat is put into a box in isolation (decoherence) and fed poison, the cat’s position on quantum space can only be said to be combination of possible rest states (eigenstates), because to find out it’s exact state would require the observer to interfere with the experiment. So in layman’s terms, the cat is somewhere between alive and dead, or both.

Now how does this fit into Halo? Well, one thought that has been proposed would be surrounding Master Chief. He’s been in isolation inside his MJOLNIR Mark V armor suit for the extent we’ve seen him throughout the games. Because he’s been in isolation, we don’t know what sort of state he’s in.

Another theory involves Cortana. Since she could be imprisoned by the Gravemind, we don’t know what her state is, whether with or against Master Chief.

These are just some thoughts, I could be way off base.

Ohhhh ok, Yea! Yeah, you lost me about three words in lol :)

WilliamRLBaker6878d ago

Basically its this
When you are trying to find out the mathamatical(numbers)
essence(being) of a thing you cannot, because as soon as you Interact (fiddle) with it, Its Mathamatical (numbers) Essence(being) changes...

Its like this....If I put some water into the microwave, and want to find out its exact tempature, I will have to open the microwave thus stoping the heating of the water therefor lowering its tempature...

Rute6878d ago

drunk pandas, you forgot to tell that the whole point of the "cat example" is that the poison release system is connected to a quantum mechanics related process, such as beta decay AND that is why no-one can know what the cat's fate is until the door of the safe/lid of the box is opened.

I believe that the Halo plot is concentrated on the the theory (derived of the uncertainity principle, related to Schrodinger's equation) that there's universes according to every possible new quantum position of every single elementary particle and that would have to do something with the Halos being almost indestructible if they would have means to move between these universes.

PS360PCROCKS6878d ago

Yeah that's what I got too lmao

ben hates you6878d ago

a movie, i can't remember what its called

drunkpandas6878d ago (Edited 6878d ago )

That massive mound in the Halo 3 trailers is actually the new master computer built by Deep Thought to calculate the answer to the one question :)

drunkpandas6878d ago (Edited 6878d ago )

Another theory raised by a reader/friend after reading about the Dirac equations and Klein-Gordon equation which are loosely based on Schrödinger’s equation, is its the equation for a super-weapon. It may be part of the equation that show how the Halo’s work, and how they are able to take protons and photons and use them to destroy planets.

This comes from someone studying for a PhD in Physics.

XENOCIDE6878d ago (Edited 6878d ago )

I'm pretty sure the 42 answer was right...carry the 1..yeah man. IX was correct, I can verify, got it all on paper.

kewlkat0076878d ago

you beat me to it. No fair..

RBlaze6878d ago

..It kills the things on them. Its gotta be linked between probability and time, thats the big thing about the Schrodinger eqs.

VirusE6878d ago

Could it have something to do with time travel? Per the monitor the last time the ring was fired the master chief fired it. He talks about how the chief asked him what he would have done and after having considerable time to think about it his opinion still has not changed. He makes tons of comments that lead you to believe that he has met the chief before yet the last time the ring was fired was millions of years ago.

Pi x Inifinity = Halo 3... I don't know.

I'll just go with 42 as the answer. ^_^ Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Glaxay is such a good book btw.

taz80806878d ago

Dude I was thinking Pi also. When in doubt go with Pi, 3.14......

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_212d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto212d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay212d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730212d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty212d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602212d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty212d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981212d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts212d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno212d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE212d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai212d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex212d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover212d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator212d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia212d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii874d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies874d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
