GEEKS: YOUR STARTER FOR TEN

[professoryackle]

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is begging the question; discuss.

I'll accept snark, tangents, the Picasso school of Physics and good old-fashioned Bad Science.

[EDIT - Oh, and common or garden reasoned argument, of course.]

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

[druid_ian]

you have changed the meaning of this text by reading it. What was a witty play on words is now a boring discussion on quantum mechanics

You read it first ergo it's your fault. I had my blindflld on when posting.

Ah but i wrote my reply and sent it on its way in one state, by reading the reply you changed the reply's state

Nope. I checked my spam folder too.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle ticks me off

i friended you as soon as i saw that kitteh in the box.

:-) Friended you back. I have 5 cats btw, and were I to put out 5 boxes, each would get in a box. I can guarantee they'd all come out alive. In fact at one stage we had a box in the bedroom and one in the kitchen and we were convinced they were using it as a teleport. They were certainly using them as ambush bunkers.

I agree with you on Heisenberg. I think physicists make a lot of assumptions because Mr H says so. To me it seems like the scenario where people say "The Bible is the word of God" and you say "How do you know?" and they say "Because the Bible says so."

HUP is fine as a holding cell until we know the real value, but that's not the same thing as saying it IS the real value. I am a physics n00b tho. My son says "If Hawking says it's so, it must be true."
