Plain old Brins


Here I am again, with another somewhat generic message to tell you all that there will be NO philosophy club until further notice due to "extenuous circumstances" which I'm not going into. What I can tell you pertains to this article on "uncertainty/random probability theory" on quantum physics. From what I read [and understood], this rather misleadingly named theory has nothing to do with uncertainty, or any kind of complete and total randomness of the Universe [what I thought when I saw it], but rather perception. Ever heard of Schrodinger? Well, find out for yourself! He said that unless you see the cat dying, it's not dead. Er... or something... I don't know.

But no, rather 'nothing exists until we see it'. A particle's energy cannot be defined taking into account the presence of the person watching it, so the scientists basically guess at what the values. It all sounds midly Descartes-ish to me, but what do you think?

No, I don't know what I'm talking about. Some-one comment me and let me know, because I'm confused.

Also, I was in charge of putting up/designing/printing posters for a fully licensed company of which I am now officially a member. I bought this exquisite yellow-tinted paper, which does the job in the eye-catching department anyday. Eyes turn like shuttlecocks. You really have to see it, but then again, you don't.

Now, goodbye before I confuse myself with more feeble scientific explanations.
