So a magnetic field that's changing how strong it is in a certain direction.
Then
The prediction is that that the object will be deflected.
It it could be deflected up, it could be deflected down.
Well, uh the as if here is at the end of the day, all we really are gonna care about is doing certain experiments and getting certain outcomes.
Okay.
And the outcomes will be spots on screens that that either appear up here or down there.
Okay.
Now
I if it were a classical spinning charged object with a magnetic moment and you shot that thing like according to classical physics, shot it through this magnetic field.
Classical physics would predict that it will it will be deflected.
And it'll hit the screen.
It could hit the screen in different places and be deflected either up or down.
And it'll tell a whole story of it going through and the forces on it and blah, blah, blah.
Here, what we're saying is, well, I'm not saying that it really is a spinning object.
I'm not saying it really does go through.
I'm not even saying it goes through on a definite trajectory, right?
All I'm see all that's really gonna matter is that the spots flow on the screen.
So when I say it behaves as if
I mean behaves with respect to the actual observable outcome.
