Thought experiment is an apparition in a modern Science, which is in last 100 Years took sweep. Work is based at the aspect of Physics, because and the writer is from Physics. Manners to study thought experiments are multiple, and this work is only one aspect in that complex of feasibility. About real character of thought experiment will be made conclusion when analyze, like this attempt, in other Sciences.

Recent discussions in TPT have considered the pros and cons of an early introduction of students to modern physics.1–4 In this regard, appropriate experiments with classical waves can help students understand some important but counterintuitive aspects of modern physics. I recently taught a summer course that introduced high school seniors who had graduated with some background in physics and algebra to aspects of quantum physics and relativity. In this paper I'll describe a simple experiment I used to introduce these students to uncertainty principles in quantum physics.

The arguments for the exactness of the quantization effects of modern physics are discussed. Some comments are made on past and possible experiments which combine these quantum effects.Received 6 December 1983DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.29.3413©1984 American Physical Society
