Science Threads

[Fireball]

I think Alex may have sired a second "scanner" and between the two of them they have taken control. Hope you've put the heads on ice.

Are you kidding?  Have you seen the price of ice?

Watchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? Don't you have a snowbank out side the front door?

We have our very own forum physicist, whom we keep chained to a grate in a cramped sewer.  He answers any and all quantum this or thats anywhere they may flare up, or he gets the leeches.  If, however, he performs; we throw him raw fish.

I miss Alex...

If I had ever said "spooky action at a distance" to any of my friends, they would look at me with blank eyes and expect something along the lines of a punchline. So very glad to see it said here. You made my day.

If I answer questions, can I get some fish heads also?

Have you taken a look at Mermin's article 'Is the moon there when nobody looks? Reality and quantum theory'? It's well worth a look if you haven't. it is written by a rather famous physicist in solid state theory.

I can't post a link yet, so do a google search for Mermin and Moon. Look for a PDF file with the article.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely be looking for it. For some reason it reminds me of a very short story where aliens are confounded that we humans are sentient meat. Maybe that's one everyone here already knows. If not, I'd be happy to post it.

Is this B. F. Skinner?

I will ask my peers if the agree with an exception.

In general, what do I have to do to ask the staff? Is there a special thread?

I'm new enough I am still learning the basics.
