Evolving Thoughts

Comment snafu

I just checked the spam comments folder, and there, amidst the sea of Envall crap, were some legitimate comments. So I have revived them, and this may explain some discontinuities and duplications in various threads. My apologies to the victims.

  3. I’ll simply use a Heisenberg box, place one of Jason’s comments inside, and if the Polonium atom decays, move the comment to the junk folder and repeat.

  5. But how random would it be John? Is the universe causally closed and every action you take already explainable given requisite knowledge of the state of everything as you ‘randomly’ decide to do it? Does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle with it’s uncaused virtual particles have an effect?
    I should become a new-age bullshitting pseudo-philosopher. A little knowledge is either a dangerous thing, or the path to crap. 😀

  7. So, assuming you don’t influence the decay when attempting to measure it, it will be statistically predictable, but uncaused, and thus random? Cool. Carry on….
