can't...you can't know both... you just can't.fractal20 months ago#109reply
ofc you canOf course you can know both, but not the exact values.
If you multiply standard deviations of position and momentum it just has to be more than h/4*pi, h=PLanck's const.james20 months ago#114reply

Hence the ropeYou can know one value and get close to the other, but you can't know the other precisely. Thus, to put it in the pictorial terms of the cartoon, you can get one bar in one hole, but if you do, then you can only get the other bar close to the other hole. I could keep going so the picture is actually worth 1000 words, but you ought to get the idea by this point.JohnnyN20 months ago#124reply

urdoingitwrongYou can't know one and know the other closely. If you know one exactly, you have no certainty about the other, but you can be *close* to both, within a specific margin.Anonymous19 months ago#229reply

What do unicorns do?Don't you see? Unicorns enforce the laws of quantum physics. Heisenberg was trying to warn us about getting killed by unicorns if we tried to calculate too precisely!The Real Zajac13 months ago#2130reply

The Unicorn upholds the Pattern and keeps away those Creeps of the Courts of Chaos.

Huh.Secretly, a lot of people know how to violate The Laws; Neo was just the only one who could defend himself from the real-time-edit consequences.
P.S. From a theological perspective, is God in the scissors, in the Unicorn or in both? Does it depends on whether the H.U.P. is a heuristic limitation or a true limitation?
P.P.S. What's the tension in the string in panel 2? Is it h/4*pi[sans units]?Noco9 months ago#2625reply
