OK.

If anyone has any question about Quantum Physics, please ask me, I KNOW EVERYTHING!

WHY CANT A PULL A GENERAL STUBBLEBINE III AND WALk THROUGH WALLS?
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Holy fuck, I missed that one.

Of course, evolution is "just theory" as well...

I think Daruko understands not to take us too seriously by now, and Rat gave up caring LONG ago...

Part of critical thinking also involving the assesment of how reliable a source is in transmitting accurate data.  If a source appears to have the data to back up their knowledge (as LMNO has shown before) why not trust them on the subject in question?  Unless you can present data showing his interpretation of events is incorrect....?

OMG I WENT TO A DOCTOR WHEN I WAS ILL ONCE, I MUST BE A MINDLESS SHEEP!

Okay, well keep it in context... At least here in this thread, LMNO has done very little transmitting of accurate data.  Only statement of what is FACT.      

Also, LMNO, didn't you say you were a computer science major?  Why not physics, since you're such an expert?

Quote from: LMNOSaying "maybe quantum effects occur in the macro world" has approximately the same amount of information as saying, "maybe God did it."

It has a lot more information than saying, "I haven't seen it, therefore it CAN NOT exist."  

You haven't paid the slightest attention to the Feynman shit I linked, or provided any comment on very legitimite research going on in Oxford and several other parts of the world, in which we are performing computations that defy adequate explanation.  The Everett-Wheeler Interpretation is the best model I know currently to explain the superposition and eigenstates utilized for non-explicitly calculated functions.  

"if the universe we see around us is all there is, where are quantum computations performed?" - David Deutsch

And if you can sufficiently answer THIS question, you should also forward your answers to Oxford.  They'd appreciate the help, I'm sure.

QuoteI find QM/QP/etc useful to philosophy, in that comparing Newtonian Physics and QM provide us with an example of multiple models... QM particularly, seems like a great example of how interpretations of 'reality' are truly interpretations of models, based on observations... not reality.

Precisely.   Some models provide deeper explanation than others, however, and a few here seem to believe that Quantum Physics REALLY IS all there is to it for the microworld, and Classical Physics REALLY IS all there is to the macroworld.  It's preposterous, and I hate to be redundant, but it's eating the menu, for sure.     All I've suggested is 1)Magick is, in some sense, accurately described as self-psychotherapy AND POSSIBLY MORE    and  2)All Possibilities MAY exist

I've already summed it up with the different renditions of "Those who do the impossible never believe the impossible."

I'm much less convinced I KNOW what I'm talking about, then I am that these strong assertions to what IS and IS NOT 100% fact are completely naive.

And you said it all right here:

this made me laugh first at you then I got to thinking
:lulz:
you think there is a world out there where TGRR is not angry, where Noodles is not awesome, or where Suu is not mired in Geekdom
such a place is too horrible to even imagine
