So I'll just point out that this (like much of quantum mechanics) is what Einstein referred to as "thought experiments".
Which describes much of quantum mechanics. To date. That could change.
Quantum mechanics...those are the guys who work on Starfighters, right?
ReplyDeleteShoot, I was thinking of the guys who work on Aussie planes.
ReplyDeleteQuantum Mechanics is whatever you want it to be.
Remember when they were going to find the God Particle!!!!!?
Then they found it, and all it changed was dialogue on the Big Bang Theory.*
I will say that Ringo has a good series with all kinds of cool quantum theorizing, it starts with Into the Looking Glass.
*Yeah, recycled joke, but it's apt.
Apt I say!
I bet that perfesser can't fix the hole in the boat.
ReplyDeleteMostly Colonial Vipers and X-wings, Paco. Starfighters are relegated to backwater places like Dantoonie.
