"Alice and Bob"

The left wants to know what their pronouns are.

“So..”

Dig a bit deeper, lol.

Well played.

>> measure twice cut once

Always thought that concerned carelessness. Who knew it was quantum necessity… lol

So... have they disproven the notion of the university expanding infinitely in n number of “probability” dimensions, or only that Bob and Alice have learned how to navigate probability?

Bishop Berkeley made this observation about 300 years ago. These guys are late.

The Latin motto for Berkeley, “Esse est percipi.” (To be is to be perceived.)

... I mean, this is the ultimate important question for physics. If every possible outcome of every possible quantum event exists, then the anthropomorphic fallacy is potentially valid. For instance, there is a universe in which Stephen Colbert is funny, but the only reason Neill de Grasses Tyson observes there could be a universe in which Colbert is funny is because we are all together in this universe in which Colbert is not funny. IOW, the universe is how we observe it because we wouldn’t observe it this way if it weren’t this way.

It’s atheists’ little slide of hand to avoid admitting that the number of coincidences necessary for our universe to support life is so incredibly vast as to require there to have been an intelligent designer (God).

HOWEVER, I am curious where Bob and Alice drink. Any parlor that has the equipment for physics experiments like isolating the spin of photons is pretty cool in my book.

Ah, but Plato realized that there has to be a first observer, the ultimate cause. This is why John the Evangelist defined the Christ as the Logos-God, He by whom the universe was created.

If this parlor trick means that Bob and Alice aren’t merely picking which branch of time-space-probability they are traveling down, but are actually causing the particle spin to become determinable, then Bob and Alice just proved the existence of the Logos-God, He who speaks and therefore the universe exists.

When playing a video game on a computer, the graphics engine only “draws” what is in the player’s FOV at any given moment. It would be computationally overwhelming to generate every element of a huge map continuously, so only what is needed at each instant is drawn.

It appears the Reality Engine is similarly efficient. It’s hard to be sure because we live in a classified reality.

“It’s atheists’ little slide of hand to avoid admitting that the number of coincidences necessary for our universe to support life is so incredibly vast as to require there to have been an intelligent designer (God).”

That is what is called a binary form of argument—”Either Alternative A or Alternative B must be true”.

There are always other alternatives. The fact that we do not know of them, in fact can’t even imagine them, is our shortcoming, not a shortcoming of nature.

I don't buy this crap for an instant. (I know many of you will find this post humorous and idiotic, but within the century, those may well be the ones deserving laughter and ridicule. (But isn't that pretty much a regular occurrence with scientific endeavors--that is, finding the whole system needs to be revised?) Don't waste your breath or the wearing out of your keyboard to condemn me unless you really need the joy it may give you.)

Einstein's implicit, internal contradiction of the natural world (entanglement via Spukhafte Verwirkung (SV)) has never been proved (it's not even a theory, but rather, a false assertion). (That's where the ridicule should be directed.)

The Deep State has perpetuated such apparent contradiction just so they could put further years of developmental distance between classified, NDA-covered physics research (e.g., torsion physics, frame-drop physics, verified instantaneous actions at a distance with rates of induction ("speed") 16x or more than that of light and other things considered at Area 51/S4) and that (as described in this article) which is taught in universities.

SV is as much scientific voodoo as its German name implies, launching and venturing into areas of ignorance as grand as anything Fauci, WHO, FDA, NIH, NIAID, the Wuhan and Ukrainian labs ever bamboozled their bosses with. Einstein was an unrelenting bigot and plagiarist who never deserved the Nobel Prize (even well before that same was shown to be discredited).

Quantum/particle physics has been perpetuated out on its limb just to keep academic physicists in high-paying jobs, while doing little to expand the public's actual knowledge of the universe.

Mathematics correlates to the universe in many ways, e.g., Maxwell Field Equations, but it doesn't explain the foundational basis of anything any more than an elusive CERN LHC Higgs Boson would purport to explain God.

Right. And if blind people can’t see an erupting volcano, the pyroclastic flow coming at them at over 100 mph isn’t there either per the same principle.

You do know why atheists aren't good at exponential math, right?

They don't believe in higher powers!
