I actually think that if there are advanced technological species in the universe that this is how they communicate, and that radio waves are a very short lived technology. We don’t rely on smoke signals or pony express anymore. I’d estimate that radio communications only last around 200 years in the lifespan in a technologically progressing species. And the odds of two species employing this technology for another to detect it (remember it can take centuries to reach another star) are zilch.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics is intrinsic in the mathematical relationship between momentum and position of particles that are fluctuations in the Schrodinger wave equation. This is not simply a matter of imprecise measurement.
The equations of momentum and position are related by the wave equations developed by Fourier in the 18th century. These “Fourier pairs” always change such that the more narrowly you measure the wave of one, the more the other wave spreads out. Because these are wave amplitudes are complex numbers the smallest error you can theoretically achieve is Plank’s constant which is very small (much smaller than any experimental result we have can achieve) but not zero. Bottom line, there are no loopholes to HUP.
I’m going to call on you to help with the little people’s homework... lol

So is Schrodinger’s cat alive or dead?

As I understand it, some quantum details making up the universe around us are not determined "there" until they need to be in order to interact with the larger whole. By the act of trying to detect and record such details we cause them to become "there"...much like when one goes to a new area in a computer game world one causes the computer to load up that game area.
This even seems to apply to things that happened in the past. We can make particles behave differently in the past by how we measure in the present...as if the past had not been written yet.
Important to remember, this only applies to particular things in particular before they become to involved in the rest of the working universe. Its as if the universe were a simulation where certain details do not need to be determined until they are needed...even details about the past.
Can someone tell me what in the world this TV character has to do with Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle or Quantum Mechanics?
Copious use of LSD always makes for amazing physics experiments...
Yes ...
What you did there. I sees it.
Spot on...
Light cone? We don't need no stinking light cone!
Rindler horizon? We don't need no stinking Rindler Horizon!
On Breaking Bad, the name of character Walter White’s alter ego came from Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist known as a pioneer of quantum mechanics.
