excuse my cynicism, I do think it is important that we have critical thinkers, especially in the area of physics. My thinking is mainly straightforward.
I'll take a couple hits of LSD then we'll have some serious discussions, haha.
Ummmmm, who do you think erwin schrodinger was, Ive answered it earlier, he came up with the cat in the box thought exercise, you need to train your brain to think like that in order to understand physics... thats why physics has advanced so fast becuase of the cat in the box conundrum, dont you get it yet asked any great physicist and they will tell you THAT exercise changed their lives. Try and answer it, I already have in this thread several times...
This was followed with the master stroke penned by Erwin Schrodinger.
Using the "Psi function" of Quantum Mechanics, Schrodinger could map the
"wave field" of any particle, thus giving us a theoretical explanation
for the structure of an atom and the entire periodic table of the
elements.
The Quantum mechanics predicts that a wave of a single frequency would
stretch out to infinite proportions, the superposition of a narrow range
of frequencies produces a standing wave function which can be localized
to a much more precise location. Thus the electron and its position
within an atom becomes a cloud of probability.
From this I infer that there are such states as being right and being
wrong, within certain parameters of uncertainty. Applying the Psi
function, the more vague the statement of the man the greater the
probability of him being correct. The narrower and more specific his
utterance the greater the likelihood of his being wrong.
Also, the Principle of Complementarity assures us that if a man alone in
the woods speaks, and his wife can not hear him, he is BOTH right and
wrong until he comes out of the woods.
In the analogy of Schrodinger's Cat, the cat in the box is both dead and
alive until someone opens the lid. The act of observing the phenomenon
determines the outcome.
Thus, the inevitable conclusion is that it doesn't matter what the man
says only his wife can determine whether or not he is correct.
