Anyway, I don't ascribe to the school of thought that tells us that simply because superposition works on paper, that such a predictive tool accurately reflects events occurring in reality.
It may help us, to understand and deal with curious events, but Bell hasn't accomplished anything profound in making his pronouncements.
All he did was insist that people shift conceptual placeholders about, to help reorganize a mental model for imagining representations of an idea. To regard his hand-wavy declarations as a crystallized description of reality is nonsense.
Ask this: If something cannot be touched, known or inferred, then how can he assert that reality reshapes itself in reverse upon reaching an event, or that an untouchable relationship persists behind the facade or our reality?
Furthermore, his arguments are pure semantics. One is not allowed to presume independent unrelated inaccessible slots, one must assume related inaccessible slots. Even though the relationship of the slots is not actually revealed until after it no longer matters whether there was a relationship or not. Oh, and by the way, that relationship transcends reality as we know it, possibly implying a parallel channel of communication, external to our world.
Sure, so much better than just stating that there is information missing from our representational model at certain moments in the sequence of events.
The lightening is not "searching" anything. Inequalities within the system are resolving to destinations and expending themselves. That energy is discharged into many endpoints merely indicates that the amount of energy on one side of the inequality can overflow many receptacles on the receiving end, before overflowing all the way to the ground state offered by the earth.
Is this really so hard to comprehend? In a non-vacuum filled with charged moisture, why should it surprise anyone that mid-air electrical arcing should take curious paths? Why must the lightening be anthropomorphized, such that it "thinks" and then "chooses" the "best" route to the ground?
If the static charge had been less intense, and satisfied an equilibrium before even reaching in the ground, would it still have "chosen" anything?
And yes, just last month, incontrovertible evidence that with the knowledge of a particle's spin at site A, I can instantaneously infer another particle's spin at site B and always be correct. So magical.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v526/n7575/full/nature1...
But not because the particle landing at site B had already possessed a spin we could not measure at the time of emission. No!
The spin was all things to all people when emitted, and would remain as such until after we so courteously ask site A's particle to reveal its spin!
Bell says that the spin instantaneously traveled through a worm hole, across space and time, whispering in the ear of the site B particle, so that it could poof! Change it's mind!
Bell says no unknowable secrets allowed.
Bell says everyone can have everything.
Bell says it's not because of something we can't determine.
Bell says it's because of a special message transmitted in a way no one can intercept. Not even him!
Bell says we must have our love notes dictated to us after they are sent, and only then may true love be known! Until then, the notes are written in all languages, as both hate and love, war and peace!
Bell says Bob won't love Alice until Alice loves Bob! That Bob's note re-writes itself before his love can be unrequited because Bob refuses to get dumped!
You have to send the message, and be clear about it.
Developers have responsibilities. Serious obligations that can cause harm when not met properly.
You don't want to hire someone, and plunge them into the deep end, get them into a situation where they're in over their heads, and then have it end in tears, because you were uncomfortable about hurting someone's feelings up front.
Islamic State in Iraq & Al-sham
That one, to me, was even MORE ridiculous than ISIL which was stupid to begin with. Who the fuck calls anything "The Levant" anymore, Jesus Christ himself? What century is this?
This is where you start to understand 2 things.
1. There are people trying to erase Syria and invalidate
the concept of Syria's statehood, and erode the public
perception of national borders as they exist, so that
amidst the propaganda campaign, we forget about
the inconvenient countries that get in the way of
campaigns for regional repartitioning along sectarian
boundaries.
2. There are political motives to avoid using "ISIS"
because it "sounds cooler" like a cartoon super
villain, and seems to "send the wrong message" to
viewers.
That's the subliminal message I'm noticing within all the spin doctoring.
But quantum coherence would allow the energy to test every
possible pathway simultaneously before traveling via the
quickest route.
If there's anything engaging in "decision making" if we must call it that, it's the protein.
In the weird world of quantum physics, a system that is
coherent can exist in many different states
simultaneously, an effect known as superposition.
The system does not exist in multiple states simultaneously. We just simply lack the ability to know or measure the true state, so we invent a hypothetical state to explain this on paper, and then proclaim victory for ourselves.
