  • Yeah, oldest electronic, or oldest thing? I have a set of fireproof bankers drawers with a functioning rotary lock from like 1917. Oldest electronic… Do speakers count? I have a set of Acoustalinear speakers hooked up to a sound system… Or my grandpa’s old neon sign from the 1950s (although it has some newer parts… Ballasts and what not do not last for ever). I also have some old electric tube transistors in an old radio I restored that have “made in West Germany” stamped on them… But those might be from the 90s… I am not sure.


  • What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

    The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

    The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

    Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

    Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

    Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

    Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

    Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.
