Reply to: 'Horizon' tonight on BBC...

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.

You've been watching Internet porn and are on your own at home again tonight aren't you. Take a cold

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.

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)

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.

Nothing new then.

Just watched on iPlayer.

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?

You mean there might be another universe where DP is a millionaire & AtW has a sofa.

I don't believe it!

Oi!

This time next year Rodders!

[Paddy]

Great, we can carry on surfing the net and meanwhile in the parallel universe we are working hard at client co. Can I involve for work done in the parallel universe?

[VectraMan]

The holographic principal sounds like fantasy to me.
The fact that the universe is a mathematical concept sits well with me though.

WHS.

It wasn't a bad programme; I'm so used to these things being dumbed down it was nice to see one that dared to be a bit more challenging. But all these concepts are so abstract as to be meaningless, and you can't help feeling that theoretical physics' grasp on reality is even less than climate science.

Did the guy with the long metal tube ever finish his experiment? Did light go fuzzy?

I've recorded it as it looked a bit heavy.

But thanks for spoiling it for me.

But there's another universe where I didn't spoil it for you....

I don't believe it!

Infinite universes...... That's still not going to happen.

Jeez - we might all be holographic projections from an Event Horizon on a black hole somewhere at the edge of the universe.....

This has really made me think - ie "I think I'll have a Stella and forget about it and watch Corrie..."

And this quantum stuff - there might be two or more sets of Krankies in alternative parallel realities, one where they're not funny and one or infinitely more where they are marginally less not funny, doesn't bear thinking about.

I'm might partake several quantum parallel Stellas tonight - don't fancy the holographic one's though - too flat...
