what is superposition explained with an analogy for my literary oriented brain to make sense of?
In: Physics
Imagine a bunch of ghosts that cannot bump into each other. If they move to the same position, they just pass through each other. This allows all of them to occupy the same position. That’s super-position.
So now imagine you are planning out a traffic system for ghosts. You now only need to concern about how it get from place to place. There are no needs to worry about intersections, no needs to plan out how multiple ghosts will move. If you make sure that 1 ghost can go from A to B, then no matter what the other ghosts do, this ghost will be able to make it.
