P.S. ?-Dave_Mysterious-? has a postgraduate degree in physics and has actually studied quantum mechanics in a technical and mathematical way. You, Quarton, you haven't. The only thing you have on your side is a vast arsenal of waffle which you can't possibly back up in any meaningful way because you don't really know what it means.
Allow me to quote ?-Dave_Mysterious-? from another forum:
"The most monumentally wrong thing Quarton wrote was this: 'And once more for your feeble mind, the central theme in quantum mechanics is the basic inter-relationship and inter-connectedness of ALL things. It is a complete change in how physicists view the world and the old, Cartesian reality has been replaced by a perceived oneness.'
This was so wrong that the only appropriate response I can think of is 'No it isn't.' He/she might as well have said: 'The central theme in archaeology is that all toast-racks are green.' "
Thanks, I've been ace.
If you were to ever meet Fraser you would find his swollen corpulent legs so risible as to render your comment redundant.
As it is unlikely you ever will let me describe for you a recent account of him visting his tailor:
Fraser: "I should like a suit please"
Tailor: "And how do you propose I measure sirs legs sir?"
Fraser: "I don't know"
Tailor: "Does sir have a trundle wheel?"
To say the world behaved in a quantum-like manner when scientists believed in the newton model is to say given the presence of only the newton model, that the world worked according to the newton model when scientists believed in the previous model.
i.e. you can only make such an assertion knowing all future models, which you can not and which is probably logically impossible.
N.B. love the way you addressed the difficulties of the whole reality concept thingy by putting the word in quotation marks.
Not too shabby at all, nope, not at all.
Because of the length I feel okay picking on a line, this one :"Where winter rains paint frozen needles," needs a meter tweek I think.
But really, it doesn't hurt the thing much - well done.
Not to be picky, but don't you think that the clunk of speech really suits that couplet? To me it's most frank and true.

If I could access the damn chat cave I would tell you at length why MC Hammer was as good as Snow on his 1991 album smash "12 inches of Snow". Neither were as good as Skee Lo, who in turn was like a quivering gay in front of the awesome "spaz with a keyboard" Wesley Wallis.

Yes, I'm from California. As for that sitcom? Never watched it, and despite that I'm certain it was nothing remotely similiar to an acurate representation of my life.. as if my life could be summed up in a sitcom... pfft.

They are both whack. Jazzy Jeff is by far the best hip hop artist of his generation.
Yeh .. it's sorta what I wanted it to mean.
It's called poetry .. the pen is your key to no limits. And it sounds cool 3rd person.

Very well. But riddle me this: Who is better, Run DMC or the Beastie Boys?

Maybe you should have. It has never been my custom to write something down without knowing what it meant. How dare you.

You are a kettle of freshly-boiled old lady piss.

In my lectures and stuff, d³a has always been used to mean a volume element. It might just be a bit of incongruous notation like sin^-1 meaning arcsin. I don't know, no one has ever told me. Maybe I should just have written dV = 3a²da.

It is technically a limerick, it's just that "she departed one way, in a relative way" should be two seperate lines.
