- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Honeybees were not found to interact with quantum fields.  One researcher found a mathematical formula that apparently models honeybee dances.  The mathematics behind that formula are also involved in quantum physics.

Somehow, the researcher has then come to the conclusion that bees are powered by Quantum.  Mind you, if her formula works, that's still really cool, but the quantum bit is nonsense, pending evidence.

If they were actually powered by quantum, you wouldn't be able to see them AND where they were going.  Since you can, there is no Quantums involved.

the researcher is just using buzz words.
he/she hopes that their name will come up when others comb through the journals.
that really gives me hives...

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

no worries, man.
nobody meant for their replies to sting, it's just that the article is either waxing poetic, or was written by a bumbling fool.

Ak your mother about that.  It may or may not have killed her.  There's no way to tell until you look.

"Honeybees are found to interact with Quantum fields "

What do you think of that?

Basically what everyone else said. I'd like to point out that it seems to be an example of fractal levels of organization. Bees most certainly don't interact with quantum fields any more than any other organism (we're composed of quantum fields), but that a single model could be used for both quantum fields and honey bee dances is interesting.

Great.  So I can't both look at myself in the mirror and shave?

You obviously can, so no.

That's not very quantum.
