QUANTUM TIME Scientists have built world’s first ‘time machine’ experiment which defies the laws...

Can it take me back to the very early 80’s?

[Boogieman]

“Knowing all of these properties, would make it possible to calculate the paths backward to reestablish the original shape.”

Ah, but there is the rub. If the billiard balls are quantum particles, then you cannot know all of those properties, due to the uncertainty principle. So you cannot use the standard method of just calculating the reverse of the operations that were done to them to restore them to their original state.

“This means that a quantum computer would be able to perform complex tasks very quickly by utilising qubits”

Just around the corner, I’m sure.

Spoil sport!

Obviously the people in the future aren’t going to tell us......................

“IF you could precisely define the exact properties of ALL of the environment”

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle disallows this.

To paraphrase Freud, ‘Sometimes, a pillar is just a pillar.’

Can we go back to before the Clinton administration?

[Ezekiel]

If it worked, then it DIDN’T defy all the laws of physics. Obviously it meant that we didn’t get the laws of physics right.

However, this is not time travel. This is not reversing time’s arrows. Cause precedes effect, and effect follows cause. That is not a law of physics - it is a first principle that must be accepted if there is to be any understanding of the world at all.

There is no way for us mortals to step out of the cause-effect continuum.

v’nahafoch hu ("and it was turned to the contrary"):

Purim: V’nahafoch Hu

The underlying meaning of v’nahafoch hu is that what initially is perceived as a cause is really an effect, and what seems to be an effect is really the cause.

With Purim coming up, it's a great time to consider these quantum "mysteries" of the universe. Going back to December 1970, we can see that Jim Croce was a Jewish prophet when he wrote the song Time in a Bottle, because

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

Time in a bottle is an hourglass, aka a sand clock. Just flip it over. There's plenty of time!

TIME <----> EMIT

emit (v.)
1620s, from Latin emittere "send forth," from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + mittere "to send" (see mission). Related: Emitted; emitting.

More below from the same author. Here we are in the second Adar, the "month of increase" (7 out of 19 years). There's a multi-layer meaning WTR what month Solomon finished the Temple (Bul, "increase").

If we ever to have a month commemorating quantum physics, there would be no more appropriate month for that than the second month of Adar – Adar Bet. 
A state of superposition is a physical state unique to quantum theory...

And Egypt (aka the house of bondage) is famous for all that stuff hidden in the shifting sands of time. The Hebrew name for Egypt (Mitzraim) means the place of *double* straights, constriction points. It's like that diagram in the original post on this thread, where going forward appears to be going in reverse.

Going forward in time, flipping over the time in the bottle twice means that the setup is oriented the same as at the start. Time first had to move through the "double straits."

There really is a simple explanation for everything that happens under the sun.

And it's very funny, God being the Master Comedian and all (timing is everything), but a lot of folks don't have any sense of humor. In Isaac Abraham's seed is called. Named "He will laugh." Exactly! It's the best medicine for getting out of bondage.

Puns are the lowest form of humor. That should tell everyone right there where they ultimately end up because... "v’nahafoch hu."

[aquila48]

“If the billiard balls are quantum particles, then you cannot know all of those properties, due to the uncertainty principle.”

Well according to quantum theory even the billiard balls states have a random component, but the distribution of that randomness is very narrow around the mean, so that the average position is good enough to hit the ball so it will predictably go in the pocket.

Thanks for the ping. Looks like an interesting article. Will check it out later.

“Tardis Express” - When it absolutely, positively has to get there yesterday.

I have that tee shirt!...................

The absolute vacuum of deep space within the 238000 miles to the moon was just pronounced to be inaccurate a few weeks ago...

... in other words...

... a fraud

... and a lie

by our friends at NASA.

So weird how they got it so wrong since the 1940s!

To paraphrase Freud, ‘Sometimes, a pillar is just a pillar.’

That's particulary amusing because it ties in with an epiphany I had last night when looking up the info on the obelisks (last night, meaning before this thread came into existence). Great timing, homework done beforehand.

A very long while back for another reason (Gen 35:18, Benoni), I had run through the dictionaries on multiple Biblical words that spin off and relate to "On", Heliopolis. There are many but to focus this in:

On, "Heliopolis" [אוֹן] = "strength or vigour" H204

on [אוֹן] vigour, generative power H202

The info on the H202 link further explains this as "specially of virile and genital power"

Indeed. "On". The place of pillars named for its pillars. The house (geneaology) of the sun (light, insight). Ties right in to the concept of Yesod and Joseph, the foundation. It never ends.

People can brush off the power of the pun, but it's a masterful teaching technique, especially where history is concerned. There's always so much but when there's a humor angle, data tends to stick in the memory.

So as not to leave you wanting, here's how the birthplace of Galileo lodges into memory:

The biblical roots of Galileo's name and surname were to become the subject of a famous pun.[27] In 1614, during the Galileo affair, one of Galileo's opponents, the Dominican priest Tommaso Caccini, delivered against Galileo a controversial and influential sermon. In it he made a point of quoting Acts 1:11, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?".[28]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei

Pisa, the birthplace of Galileo, is famous for its leaning tower (pillar, cylinder shaped). Galileo is the man famous for the telescope and seeing into the heavens:

Haha, ‘Sometimes, a pillar is just a pillar.’

The view's great from here. :)

I don’t know what science you took but when I was taking my classes no one talked about an absolute anything.....deep space always had a partial pressure ....admittedly very small but still measurable

[Sontagged]

No such thing as a partial vacuum, is what I was taught, precisely for the reasons you stated in your first post.

[Big Red Badger]

That IS the Problem!

Brilliant,
BRILLIANT!
