Well, then we agree. In practice, nobody has access to arbitrarily large amounts of energy. Therefore in practice the uncertainty principle puts...
I'm beginning to feel a little stupid here. Like I'm being told something obvious for the third time and still not getting it. Tell me, is it not...
Hi Tom2, Thanks for your detailed response. It certainly made me think. One thing: your apparent distaste for philosphy and/or your assumed...
Which is why it's incomplete. I, for one, am inclined to think that physical entities and properties (such as angular momentum) should not cease to...
Hi Tom That's fine, but it doesn't really answer the question. The question concerns existence of an exact angular momentum in absense of...
Interesting stuff, Cris. Captain, I think the self-replication scenario is actually VERY unlikely. It seems only a narcissistic person would...
A few things, but I'll try to take it one step at a time. For example, take this chain of reasoning: 1) Angular momentum must be conserved 2)...
But even if you reject local hidden variables, and furthermore dismiss nonlocal hidden variables, you must still then accept the nonlocality of...
So James, what do you think of Bell's claim (as related by lethe in a nearby thread) that his inequalities prove quantum nonlocality? It's not...
Hi guys. Sorry to be so out of step with the discussion, but I find time when I can... My problem with QM has always been the assumed equivalence...
Hrrrm... Please pardon my random incursion. I still periodically lurk here (though I won't be contributing much.) But I found this topic (and...
If thought is computation, then without senses where does the input come from? If you are deprived of sensory input from the very start, you will...
This has a bunch of problems. First of all, it gives the universe a center and further according to your picture puts us square at this center....
Awww, shucks. Nice to know someone around here still cares what I think. :) Sorry I haven't been a more prolific/frequent poster lately. Simply...
Except the irony is, there is no way for the clocks to see each other's reading without a roundtrip being involved. If the clocks themselves don't...
Opportunists win in an opportunists' world. The trick is to balance the opportunism in such a way as not to antagonize the world too much. It...
The answer is 3) -- assuming both clocks turn back after the same time interval as individually measured by each of them. Again, symmetry comes into...
That's correct, with the qualification that we're talking about the so-called proper time of the clock (as opposed to its time as observed by some...
That's irrelevant, as previously explained, due to the symmetry of B's trajectory. IOW, at some point in its trajectory it may be accelerating; if...
Because B will feel the artificial gravity, and A will not. The time course of acceleration doesn't matter. See the second part of my reply...
Separate names with a comma.
