    No right - nobody can predict the future so anything we try and say about what will happen is pure conjecture.

    So things may turn out better, they may turn out worse but we will have to wait and see.

        Really? Most of the modern world is based on being able to predict the behaviour of materials, gasses, electrons with great certitude.

        so anything we try and say about what will happen is pure conjecture.
        Bollox. If you have knowledge of the starting conditions and how processes work, there's little conjecture. But I can believe that the projects you run are entirely unknowable from day one.

          Two words

          Quantum Mechanics

          Everything is chance - yes some things have a higher probability of happening than others but all have at least a chance which is not zero.

          So lets put some scenarios forward

          1) The Uk leaves the EU with no deal - what will happen?

          2) The UK leave the EU with a poor deal - what will happen?

          3) The Uk leaves the EU with an average deal - what will happen?

          4) The Uk leaves the EU with a great deal - what will happen?


          When providing answers you will need to consider the impact on the EU should it be seen that the UK benefitted from leaving the EU and then extrapolate that back to how you think that will influence the decision makers in the EU.

          The you will need to cross reference the conclusion from that thought experiment with how you feel about people making decisions about your life when their actions (note this is an observable fact) make it clear they have absolutely no interest in your wellbeing.

            Why are you obsessed with the impact on the EU?

            You should be more concerned about the impact on the UK, that is if you have any concern for the UK at all, and not just the hatred of the EU which you appear to have in your posts.

                  What deal? I think you mean any future arrangement, rather than the Withdrawal Agreement? They are two separate things.

                  There is no obligation on the EU’s part to provide any sort of future arrangement “deal”, good, bad, or otherwise. A rough framework needs to be provided, but no actual deal. The U.K. is a third country and needs to negotiate its future arrangements like any third country does - starting with no deal.

                  Right now, myself and my family have tangible rights and opportunities that are being removed by leaving the EU. Use your thought experiment to judge how I feel about those people (Brexiters) making decisions about my life when their actions make it clear that they have absolutely no interest in my wellbeing.

                    And you'll remember from Young's Slit Experiment that whilst things can only be in one place at a time, they behave as though they are actually in two

                      Pretty sure it is Young's double slit experiment.

                      And it shows amongst other things wave/particle duality
