“That idea is not as wild as it sounds. For example, suppose there is a road 10 miles long, and its is “contained” by a start line and a finish line. Suppose the speed limit on this road is 60 mph, and I want to determine if a car has been speeding. One way I could do this is to watch a car the whole length of the road, measuring its speed the whole time. But another way is to simply measure when a car crosses the start line and finish line. At a speed of 60 mph, a car travels a mile a minute, so if the time between start and finish is less than 10 minutes, I know the car was speeding.”
Sorry, pseudo-scientist. Both ways are equivalent. In way 1, the speed is measured over shorter distances than in way 2, but both are the same thing.
“I wasn’t speeding, officer; I was travelling in a quantum way.”
Actually, continous monitoring of speed vs. measuring time from start to finish are NOT equivalent. Example: I race my car at 1000mph (speeding), but then stop and rest for 5 hours just shy of the finish line, the measure total time from start to finish would not catch my episode of exceeding the speed limit.
What if he goes 120 mph for 1/2 of it and 30 mph for the second half?
