Triple-slit experiment confirms reality is quantum

[Kramer]

Experiments like this bring us close.

oh yeah, I'm feeling the closeness, are you? Would that be called the Heisenburg Maneuver?

We are indeed close.

When you use a cell phone or a gps a good understanding of quantum effects and Einstienian rules of times relitivity are being demonstrated and used , quantum effects are important in the design of small circuits, and without correcting for the compression of time due to the satilites speed a gps couldn't aviod large error.

As circuits shrink and the individual pulses of electrons that operate the transistors also shrink , it becomes moe important all the time to understand quantum effects.

OK well now that you put it that way I am now more than ever against these experiments. Technology is out of control. Google is going to take over the world. We are prisoners to smart phones, computers, TV's, iPods, iPads, iPhones, ear phones, robots, bluray, GPS, voice recognition, face recognition, DNA testing, embryonic cell implanting and many other forms of crazy science and technology. I can actually remember the good old days when we had a Black & White TV. Now I'm thinking the Beatles ruined it all!

Irony abounds.


It probably takes more money to set yourself up in a primitive homestead than it takes to get a good education and a technical job and an apartment in the city.

Ever see "the Yearling?" Back when pioneers worked to avoid starvation by planting food , ahhh well nostalgia will never get you there.  Perhaps if you set up a Tesla car dealership you would eventually be able to afford sixty acres of hardscrabble farm?

In the 'old' days not many people had time to get in trouble. Just food, clothing & sheltering took up 99% of our time. Can you imagine (75 years ago) people having the time to participate in a Gay Parade?

Yeah, technology is all out of control, and it's all the Beatles' fault.
Do you blame Paul or Ringo more?

Nope I really think it's more John's fault than either of those two.

Now that we have solved that one can we move on to Black Holes?

Another unrealized porn reference, Kramer?

I'll put in a vote to let Ami and others keep putting science-related articles on the board.  They are interesting, though obviously not to you.  I would say that they are among the few threads unlikely to lead to pointless flame wars,  but this thread indicates that I underestimate the abilities and resolve of the thermowarrior set.

My my the Mormon has a dirty mind. The only thing that comes to my mind about black holes other than Black Holes is that thing they call a brain on Obama. Now that is a massive black hole that needs to be studied by mental health professionals.

WHAT?  I saw you say "black" hole referring to Obama"s brain!   You dirty racist, you!

A true racist would say that the right side of his brain is white and the left is black. He is Mulatto, right?

Incorrect. During the middle ages and the renaissance, people had more leisure time than we do now.

I was referring to North America.

I was referring to North America.

Prior to the industrial revolution, that was true in North America as well.

None of that nonsense matters regarding my original point. You have staggered away from my point in an effort to somehow build up your insecure ego. I really don't care how much time people had on their hands in the 'OLD' days I just know MOST people spent a lot more time building shelter, growing & hunting food, making cloths and other life support efforts because there were not supermarkets, Costco's, and other faster methods. Comparing the life of a peasant versus royalty is like comparing apples to oranges.

I'm talking about the life of "peasants" in pre-industrial times. Is that not the subject?

Terry Jones has a pretty good description in his book / documentary Medieval Lives (Netflix link, you can rent or watch online). Book is available through Amazon.

75 years ago isn't Medieval times. Medieval times doesn't include N. America, at least in my way of thinking.

Could a luddite movement survive now?

Rather than retreat to what the past was really like could a modern antitech reform the past as it ought to have been?

Then live in it?

75 years ago was during the industrial revolution. If you want to get back to the land and live on your own resources, you need to go to pre-industrial times. 75 years ago life was roughly the same as now, without some of the conveniences. The last time people were able to live on their own without outside support was during the middle ages / early renaissance.
