“What if Schrodinger’s Cat fell into a Black Hole?......”

For anybody who’s got an hour to spare and wants to hear her take on this stuff (and it’s pretty well presented), see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IpRN5YP0q4&t=243s

She starts at about the 4 minute mark - and if you hang on until at least the 20 minute mark, she does in fact essentially address the question of what would happen if Schrodinger’s Cat fell into a black hole!

That’s not a big accomplishment. this is about Hawking, not me. do try to keep up. BTW Whats it like rolling around in Hillarys purse.

Probably not as fun as wiping Bill's jisum off your chin.........Monica, is this you?....LOL!

In 1974, Stephen Hawking calculated that black holes’ secrets die with them. Random quantum jitter..

Pshaw!

You know dude, I've been following your posts for years and you appear to be nothing but a lonely, house bound loser keyboard warrior whose only interaction with the outside world is here on Free Republic.......

Get yourself a life dude, get outside and meet people. There's more to life than the internet..........Pathetic loser!

I don’t care about black hole paradoxes. The Universe works quite well, even if humans don’t understand it.

Agree. In fact, do astro physicists know anything about statistical probability and risk? What are the chances of correctly understanding phenomena that are millions of light years away via radio telescope? Why are the probabilities of these “discoveries” never discussed with the layman?

Because if the layman truly understood the House of Cards many of these theories are built on, they would be laughed out of the room.

Einstein figured out a lot by deductive reasoning and looking at data on a small scale — apples falling from trees and the movements of the Sun and her planets.

Astro physicists are “far out, man.” Those who postulate these black hole theories have egos of galactic size. They should quit their scientific work and become entrepreneurs, where real-life obstacles and failures will teach them to adhere to solid facts instead of algorithmic fantasies.

But I give them credit: they are skillful at Hawking fake science books and getting research grants.

That’s one man’s opinion. Or is my Canis Major barking up the wrong Ivory Tower?

I wonder what they talk about in the bowling alley on Friday nights?

If God created Adam, did Adam have a navel?..................

So read it, because it’s good for the brain. I’ve been poking around the edges of these Quantum ideas for years and still don’t understand it, but it’s fun anyway.

Thanks Red Badger.
