I like the scalar ball. thing is though, I'd go solid state
rather than quantum computer for this. Well.. solid
state/biological; can't depend on a quantum computer with only
qubits available. == Still, what number system? BASE10 and 2 get
screwed when you start working with 7ths. I'd go with a computer
that can handle fractions properly. == yeah me too. I was going
to do theoretical physics; (Hampshire College) but the professor
that was doing "Quantum mechanics for the myriad" was on
sabbatical, so I ended up taking some child psychology courses
instead. Glad I did too. Never finished college, never did
quantum physics but this was back in 1990/1991... ...which means
if I *did* pursue it as I'd planned at 17/18, I'd have been
stuck doing STRING THEORY in the 90s and nothing else. ugh. ==
Oh you totally should! My knowledge is SO EMPTY in that area but
I love light refraction and crystal patterns (how it affects
light). My stupid chemistry teacher SKIPPED crystals and told us
he was skipping it because he never learned it. Whole chapter in
chemistry book just SKIPPED. Pissed me off. So yeah, learn it
for me and teach me when you've got something. == what I mean is
- perhaps what we're measuring isn't what's there because we're
missing important internal causes that are currently 'forbidden
states' - so I don't mean fairy tale when I say fictional, I
mean, "not quite so" - ie - I don't want to say "What we're
seeing is an illusion" - but maybe like an optical illusion. ==
I can envision what you're saying in my head. So we're basically
seeing is a projection pushed out via the expanded electron
'shells' [shooting out the nice photons for us to see and
measure] - but what it's sending us is kinda fictional when it
comes down to it? == ah there yes. you said it better. Boy, I
can think of a LOT of areas of the various sciences where
they're measuring the wrong attributes. ugh, my #1 complaint I
think. == np Ryan. I know what it feels like to have awesome
ideas and few able to understand and even FEWER of that already
small set willing to give a serious listen. == That's awesome
Philip - my statistical abilities never progressed beyond
advanced Excel tongue emoticon I understood everything you said
conceptually, yet I couldn't reproduce it myself. Had some
neural network experience in 1990/91 at school, and wrote the
game-of-life thing using various languages, modifying it here
and there, but never really progressed beyond, "I understand the
concepts at play here and how they are working together and what
they are doing" but only generalized knowledge. == always. and
yes. I love multiple overlapping meanings. Puns.. my nephew is
10.5 + he pretends to be beyond puns now, but I can't stop
making them. he just puts his head in his hands dramatically
trying not to laugh, caught between loving and hating the
torture, so I try to save it for a time when he's being really
serious for maximum effect. == But yeah - beyond word play, I
think embedding multiply connected meanings in a phrase is a
form of time travel because you're forced to go into multiple
dimensions at once to decipher it. == If you know pure facts,
then you don't know pure facts 'cause the first pure fact is
that there's no pure facts tongue emoticon ==
