Hard to be certain. You wouldn't expect cooling off to be a benefit of marriage.
That could be interesting. It has to get considerably more reliable, though.
You just took an hour of my time reviewing quantum mechanics, collapsing superpositions, and wave functions. Been a while since I followed up on the latest thing in quantum mechanics. One of my hopes is that before I die, someone figures out why the act of observing collapses a wave function. It's pure madness that reality actually operates like that. I would really really love to know why this happens.Quote:

I'm of two minds about it, but I can't tell what I really feel.
I'm positive I could be own spin on it.
I'm not sure that we should go there. Most people don't mind talking about things like neutrons, but discussions about most other particles tend to be charged/ Electrons, in particular, create a lot of negativity, whereas trying to talk about neutrinos tends to go in one ear and out the other.
I always thought it was the entanglement of the observer with the wave that caused the very act of observation to affect the observed.Quote:

I recall reading a few years ago how this quantum wave affect - if you can create two identical particles at the same time - thus getting the same wave attributes - can be used for secure transmission. If the transmission is on just one of the waves and both do not arrive in the same fashion, one will know that there was an attempt at interception. And the very act of intercepting destroys the wave and thus it's pay load.
Is the post race alive or dead? One can never be certain.
I started a new coding contest for any non-moderator/admin that is interested!
Yeah, but you're just looking for beknighted folks to be rooked into becoming a pawn in your game.
Just wanted to get some puns off my chess-ed.
I'm almost out of Marmite.
It's not so much an observer that causes wave function collapse, but the direct interaction of two quantum systems. And it doesn't actually collapse, more like become defined at the point of dimensional intersection.Quote:

I'm not a physicist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
That guy cut me off the other day. Darn Charlie Brown looking driver!Quote:

Funny right? ;)
