First you say you do, and then you don't,
And then you say you will, and then you won't;
You're undecided now, so what are you gon - na do?
Now you want to play, and then it's no,
And when you say you'll stay, that's when you go --
You're undecided now, so what are you gon - na do?

Well did you ever have to make up your mind?
Pick up on one, and leave the other behind?
Collapse your wave function,
Stuff of that kind . . .

"I find it remarkable that the Schrödinger equation no longer has to be god-given," says Wolfgang Schleich, who studies the foundations of quantum mechanics at the University of Ulm. Don't let some of these people see that!

One way to answer Einstein's objection to QM ("God does not play dice") is to remove God from the equation. When the God's away, the dice will play...

"you could extract energy from the quantum uncertainty"
Some search algorithms use randomness. In a way, I think it's possible to extract computational leverage from quantum uncertainty. Perhaps the brain is able to use quantum uncertainty in this way.

Hall's description of the function and Heisenberg's description of the function......
EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT !

Or from P.D.Q.Bach's "Iphigenia in Brooklyn": Who knows what it means to be running; only he who is running, running, knows. Run, running knows....

God's dice are more like Big Jule's. The faces are indistinguishable.

QM love song
(modified from "You Don't Know Me," Ray Charles)
I give velocity
And then I say goodbye
You watch me fly away
Beside that lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The thing you want to know
No, You don't know me.

What it all means, I'm not exactly uncertain, but what it was was Quantum Mechanics.

You may have hit on the missing link for creativity. What a fascinating idea - worth a few experiments...

God's dice are more like Big Jule's. The faces are indistinguishable. "Big Jule" from Chicago had the dots removed "for good luck," but he "remembers where they were."
Thanks for the Damon Runyon moment....[fade to black as "The Oldest Established, Permanent Floating Crap Game in NY" is heard in the background...]
