@raymaccarthy @m_berberich @davidrevoy Star Trek: The Next Generation added "Heisenberg Compensators" to the standard list of technobabble to lampshade just how broken the described "physics" of transporters were. #WernerHeisenberg is closely associated with the #UncertaintyPrinciple which is a powerful barrier to even describing the state of a body's position and momentum at the same time.

Disturbing thought, what if transporters vaporized people and got some information, and then recreated living beings on the other side with AI slop?

Since cats are suspended in a state of quantum uncertainty, if you make an additional observation of a cat, i.e. a completely different set of reflected photons, is it a different cat?

„Someone is #wrongOnTheInternet“ was just upgraded to „someone is #wrong about the #uncertaintyPrinciple“ and they are sitting at the table next to me.

Quantum physics and investing both deal with uncertainty and probability. Just as quantum particles exist in superposition until measured, your investment outcomes exist as probability distributions until 'measured' by time. We can only optimize the process, not predict exact outcomes! #QuantumInvesting #Probability #UncertaintyPrinciple

“uncertainty” = things without

Uncertainty

The gripping, entertaining, and vividly-told narrative of a radical discovery that sent shockwaves through the scientific community and forever changed the way we understand the world.
