Awwww. The fur-less paws and bright ears would indicate that this is a golden hamster baby Campbell hamster, but not necessarily of the pure black variety - interesting. Yeah, I think the paws look more like a dwarf hamster.
Here, a young "black" variety golden hamster for comparison - I would expect hamster dark matter to be rather like that. It would also explain why there is so much dark matter, if they had 13 billion years to multiply...

I just wanna let you know I've been watching you edit that post for the past 10mins and it was a fascinating journey into the mind processes of a hamster geek

I don't quite know what you mean by that, can you elaborate?
Quote: If such is the case than it does readily answer my question since the interaction of objects with the photo or electron would be in accordance to it being defined as one state for that interaction while then being rendered an indeterminate state until such time as the next interaction.
Yeah... more or less. In technical terms one would say that, if an observable is not a conserved quantity, superpositions start forming again immediately after your measurements. That's the way it is treated in the Copenhagen interpretation.
Quote:  However, this intern brings up questions about the duration of the determination of said state since an indeterminate state follows.

As I said in my last post, there is no sharp distinction between indeterminate and determinate states, there are only degrees of uncertainty, and immediately after your measurement, uncertainty will gradually, continuously increase.

Would you?   That a dark hamster can have its features illustrated through its interaction with electromagnetism?

In other news, I'm now sure that it is a Campbell hamster or more likely a hybrid between a Campbell and a Djungarian hamster.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Pyrrho,

Your story indeed reminds me of the old philosophical zombie problem, paired with a dose of solipsism...
