    Very good. Double silt, that was old news. The programme became somewhat more interesting towards the second half. The holographic principle disturbs me little. The idea space time exists within math, now that tickles the mind.

    The big question - how shall this new understanding affect house prices?
    They'll go up as bankers introduce new quantum investment vehicles known as 'Holographic Credit Derivative Funds', where returns are generated by the interest on 25* household income mortgages taken out by crack addicts in Kazachstan and which will be repaid in a parallel universe.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Nothing new then.

        Talkouble-slit experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

        My thoughts too...

        Why do the particles act the way they do when the are observed? They must think they can do whatever the hell they want. Well not when im watchin. Its obvious that these guys will just mess around unless you force them to behave accordingly. I did a double split experiment today, i used an A4 sheet of paper, taped to the window with two slits cut in it. When observed they acted like expected, but sure enough when i looked away they started acting erratical again. Basically i would like to hear some methods on how to control the particles, i propose building a quantum scarecrow that would trick them into behaving how i want. Would this work? If not why not? Any other ideas?

        Any particle can suffer an acute identity crisis, and just as often exhibit multiple personalities. They are passive aggressive and invariably respond to questions in compliance with the expectations of the questioner. The next questioner can get a contradictory answer. They lack a self identity, and the tighter external controls are applied to manage one symptom the more erratic are their substitute symptoms.
        Experimenters often suffer from transference due to hypnotic entanglement. It is difficult for a normal human to perform the splits. Success in doing a double split is inevitably fatal. 152.17.53.85 (talk) 18:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

          Tevatron gone

          They're shutting it down

          The news disappointed American physicists who had hoped that three more years of running might give them a glimpse of as yet unobserved phenomena like the Higgs boson, a storied particle said to imbue other particles with mass.
          So it's up to the guys at CERN to cause the universe to implode now.

            These physicists are a different race aren't they? The guy came up with the concept of the holographic projection from a 2 D surface on a black hole while walking past a picture of woman on a wall...

            Christ. If it was me I would have been thinking how much I would like to pork her and how she looks like the lady from downstairs who I would also like to pork and then go to the loo to spank the monkey. No theories on whether we are real or not here I am afraid.
