j_b Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 yes. an answer to the following: since you'd be a librarian/historian, aren't you concerned you might disturb an experiment in progress and thereby change forever the course of history or do you actually consider yourself part of the experiment?

knotzen Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I need to know where my socks are. They've all disappeared. (Man, I hate that.) Let me know if you find them out there somewhere. Thanks. Quote

archenemy Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 What? Heisenberg dealt with subatomic velocity problems, matrix mechanics, and allotropic forms of molecular hydrogen. His uncertainty principal, which most people are familiar with, deals with the simultaneous determination of both the position and momentum of a particle carrying an inherent uncertainty, the product of these being not less than a known constant. A great trip back to QMEC101, but nothing to do with essence or conciousness. however, it may have not forseen the coming of the cc.com Quote
j_b Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) hmmm ... it's not my field but my understanding is that the observer becomes part of the system in quantum physics. It has some implications in philosophy and for the study of knowledge: is reality independent of what we observe or is there a truth? Edited August 18, 2005 by j_b Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 all I know is quantum mechanics hurt my brain and ego and cost a lot of money. hows that Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 It is quite philosophical, I agree. Not QM, but for instance, when you sit in a chair, you are not actually sitting in a chair. A powerful forcefield of minute dimension is causing you to hover over something that reflects light back at your irises, that creates the concept in your electrochemical pathways of your brain that is "chair". Chairs come in many sizes shapes and colors, yet you can always identify one even if you have only seen a few, and never actually touched one. In fact, you never touch anything at all, in the way "touch" is usually considered. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I need to lay off the cobraganja apparently Quote
j_b Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 cobraaaa, dude, i completely believe that you can hover thanks to minute powerful force fields. you wouldn't be cobraaaa commander, after all, if you couldn't do it! cobraaaa! Quote
spicoli11 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 that cobraganja seems to work well.......nothing like a little zen militance Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Â I also like hopping on trains and looking at my face in a mirror and pretending I'm Einstein making light move faster than light. But wait, my face already IS a mirror. but wait light can't move faster than light cause it's light so time must be slowing down but my watch seems to be working argh Quote

But you do touch on QM soon as you start talking about subatomic force fields. That's where shit gets funky. Â Realizing that you are part of the observation is basic science. Â But I am not even going to think about light hitting my iris. I have an eyeball phobia thing, so let's just not go there. Quote

Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 your socks are in a big pile along with my keys, zapruder's OTHER film, various favorite pens, aaa batteries, pictures of bigfoot, and the new smith guidebook. I'm not sure where that pile is though. Quote
