1984

If stupid masses of people buy off on this, it should work?

Science expands freedoms.

If you looking for it, if not and hacking is a crime are we all just numbers?

What results would a human observer see in a double slit experiment ?|||Quote:

Um, wow, ok, let me take this in order:

1. lolomgwtf

2. Stupid masses buy a lot, but that's gonna take some doing.

3. Science, like magic, is neither good nor evil, the user is. Science however moves forward regardless.

4. I am not a number, I am a free man!!

5. The human observer sees the interference pattern. If not, how would know that it occurs at all?

|||It doesn't just depend on what they believe, it depends more on how much they care. But you described them as stupid, so they won't care and it's irrelevant whether they believe it or not.

Double slit: I think Bobcox meant which conclusions are drawn from it by those who don't know about quantum physics. BTW, we are talking about things being shot through a double slit which are commonly believed to be psrticles, right? Like electrons, these tiny balls which fly around the nuclei.|||In 1984 I was 7, unless before July, in which case I was 6.

I'm crap with quantum physics. I stamped on a butterfly once which might have prevented a storm in China but may also have been an ancestor of mine so maybe I don't really exist.|||Quote:

Addressing this line of the poem, yes, we are all just biological machines whose quantized actions could be stored as numbers if a computer were grand enough.|||Quote:

Or not.

I have direct and unequivocal evidence that you do exist. |||Quote:

in 1984, i was swimming in the deepest and darkest (well, maybe lightest in this case) part of father's teenage testes.

(too graphic? i tried to be clean about it! if that warrants an infraction, i'll take go ahead and take it and let the mods clean it up)|||Quote:

doing any of that with the exception of nicotine is bad enough to warrant the test. they still need probable cause anyhow. this is just a breathalzer made easier, and more useful.

Science is freedom neutral. defending liberty is all of our jobs.

everything is just formulas. the more you learn about physics the more you realize that math is the root of it all. did you see my post about the higgs-boson (@ the other place), we knew it before we found it. Math baby.

nothing I don't think we can see individual photons. Thinking about the double slit experiement makes my head swim. I don't get why the detectors change anything. I watched this whole thing on TV explaining it, and I still don't get it. I'm not sure the scientists do either.|||Quote:

Not quite! Likely, you were bits and molecules of things in the soil. This would have been turned into food products, then your father ate them, constructed what he needed to construct, and the rest is history. Afaik, the adult spermatazoa do not live for years waiting for their shot.

I know the human photoreceptors can detect (sensation) a single photon, but perception is a different story.|||i like to think i am that awesome and that i did live that long, but you are most likely right.
