Debunking of Modern Evolutionary and Cosmological Theories

I tried to interpret it thusly: q is "particle is in a quantum superposition where it can have any location between -1 and 1",  and r is "particle is in a quantum superposition where it can have any location between 1 and 3". You then interpret the "or" *not in the sense*  "it's in this quantum superposition or in that", but instead as a sort of quantum or which puts all the things it or-s into one big quantum superposition. Then, r quantum-or q is tantamount to "particle is in a quantum superposition where it can be at any location between -1 ...1 or 1...3".


Concerning my technical concerns, I'm purely talking about how the maths of quantum mechanics works, not the empirical side. That being said, strongly modifying the heisenberg law would yield a radical departure from QM and I am not aware of any such thing that is empirically feasible.

And thanks for the sympathy, it helps.
I'm convinced that everybody at some point reaches not only the limit of their current understanding, but the limit of their potential understanding no matter what examples, explanations or education is offered. It is trivial to point out that Socrates saw this long, long ago and no great ego boost to recognize that I've understood this for quite a while myself. I still enjoy stretching for whatever understanding I can. It is personally rewarding. But the math you embrace is off my map. I don't really feel bad about it, more sort of resigned.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
