The universe would be a very different place without QM. Oh, absolutely. I did not say that though. I said that the universe could still be the same if particles did not exhibit wave behavior. This behavior hint to some strange philosophical conclusions, not unlike the Matrix. Quote:
Since no one payed attention to me last time I'll say it again: the sun does revolve around the earth. (although it's pretty clear that the intended answer in the game show was the moon) Well, from one point of view, it does. We can have both at the same time (the Sun revolving around Earth and Earth revolving around the Sun, depending on viewpoint). In fact, almost everything revolves around everything. If you stand on one celestial body, you will see the sky rotate around you. But technically, it does not. It is the Earth that rotates around the Sun. If you watch the whole movement from a distance, you will see Earth rotating around the Sun. And that was the answer required in this case. |

Quote: If X includes all, then trying to positulate that there exists a Y outside of X is a pointless waste of time. There isn't, by definition. If you find such a Y, then it must necessarily be part of X. Meh and yawn. The universe was here long before we assigned a definition to the word "universe". I could ask the exact same thing I asked with different words if you liked. Wouldn't change what I said. Bottom line is if Evert is going to give me grief then something I said goes against theory, I want to know why. If you can't reason about it, why dispute it? -- |

Johan Halmén said: See, Matthew? You are no God. But.. But.. He is a god. Apparently a merciful one as he did not exercise his power of post-modification given to him by the greek god of the internets (See its deity). I do believe you now owe him a sacrifice. Oh and you can't claim Kibiz0r as your sacrifice, I already sacrificed him. |

And he wouldn't accept you as a sacrifice because of the const char* thread ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

With this post this thread beats this one as the longest thread I've ever seen on A.cc. Just out of curiosity, what's the record for the longest thread ever?

The second longest I remember would probably be the ChristmasHack '05 thread, at 403 posts: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/551991 Team Chess had 580, though. --------------------------- |
