and the cat can be dead and alive at the same time... fehUnintented consequences are a fact of life.
“How can you be in 2 places at once when not anywhere at all?”
How many frames of reference were you using? An outcome is still a singular event; the WTC is still gone, for example.
and the cat can be dead and alive at the same time... fehIf a video game programmer can code superposition into a game what would it look like? And of course our Creator can easily “code” superposition into our existence. (If you haven’t guessed already.. I know nothing about physics and very little about science in general.)
“But if we believe that quantum mechanics governs all phenomena...”
The key phrase. Quantum mechanics is an attempt to explain the behavior of subatomic particles and the forces that act upon them. If the theory works, it’s provisionally true. But this doesn’t mean we understand quantum behavior as it really is, just that we have an explanation of the quantum behavior that we have observed in experiments, which is an infinitesimally small proportion of all quantum behavior.
So it’s “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” or “Alice & Carol & Ted & Bob” depending on your “perspective”...
This reminds me of Borges’ masterful “Tloen, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”:

So should I get a Obama phone or not?
Any married guy could have told you that.
Quantam crap is total horse manure.
Quantum mechanics throws a monkey wrench into that idea.
I am positive a conscious observer of some kind was required to bring the universe into existence. Nothing occurs in the quantum universe without a conscious observer. Calling that observer "God" would not be outrageous.
sounds like the author of the Harry Potter books was on occasion not writing about “magic” but instead reflecting quantum physics (whether she realized it or not)
the more humans know, the larger becomes the body of knowledge we are aware that we don’t know
the “undiscovered” universe (that portion of creation we either have no knowldge of or no understanding of or admittedly incomplete understanding of) seems to keep expanding as fast as what we do know grows - like peeling an onion with infinite layers
Ah, so the math is finally showing them that time has variable expressions, not merely linear. The planar nature of temporal reality has been right before them for a long time, in the phenomenon of quantum non-locality. Wait until they discover the volumetric nature of time. That should ruffle their ‘e’ ...
“When I was a graduate student, I proved the temporal order of events was relative; i.e., whether event A precedes event B or B precedes A in time depends on the frame of reference of the observer.”

I taught a class in intro relativity and quantum mechanics for two semesters. When it came to that stuff I needed to stick strictly to the book or I would confuse myself due to that problem so much that it was really a danger that I would completely mess up my students. Frame of reference stuff seems like it should be so elementary until you start really getting into it, then it can become impossibly obtuse.
That explains a lot doesn't it? LOL
