Cigarettes must have been invented after cigars

I do not remember this thread!
 
THAT MAKES ONE OF US
 
Oh, you like to call others detectives. You must be pretty smart then. Why don't you explain the importance of Schrodinger's Cat as a way of highlighting certain behaviours in Quantum Mechanics?

I'd just love to know. :)


Still waiting for Quantum Cat to get back to us!

Actually, Schrodinger's Cat was proposed as a means to illustrate the bizarreness of quantum mechanics and the mathematics necessary to describe quantum states. Erwin Schrödinger formulated this concept by positing a condition in which one intrinsically does not know something, and that only by performing an observation could one know it. He dramatized the situation by positing a moral choice (bestowing life or death on a cat).

Originally, it was intended to be a critique of just the Copenhagen interpretation—the prevailing orthodoxy in 1935; today, the Schrödinger cat thought experiment remains a topical touchstone for all interpretations of quantum mechanics; how each interpretation deals with Schrödinger's cat is often used as a way of illustrating and comparing each interpretation's particular features, strengths and weaknesses.


In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, a system stops being a superposition of states and becomes either one or the other when an observation takes place. This experiment makes apparent the fact that the nature of measurement, or observation, is not well defined in this interpretation. Some interpret the experiment to mean that while the box is closed, the system simultaneously exists in a superposition of the states "decayed nucleus/dead cat" and "undecayed nucleus/living cat", and that only when the box is opened and an observation performed does the wave function collapse into one of the two states. More intuitively, some feel that the "observation" is taken when a particle from the nucleus hits the detector. This line of thinking can be developed into Objective collapse theories. In contrast, the many worlds approach denies that collapse ever occurs.

The experiment poses the question: when does a quantum system stop existing as a mixture of states and become one or the other?

Did that answer your question, Mentalist and Captain?
 
That was worth waiting for!
 
BOSONS LOL


Bisons!

Great detective work, Sherlock. Now answer me this: when were joints invented?

The remains of a partially smoked marijuana cigarette were found clutched between the teeth of Lucy, one of the more famous homo erectus remains to be found in the mid 80s. Proving that not only did our ancestors twist up some phat papyrus, but that roaches will indeed survive us all...
 
I bet you they invented pot bread before they ever figured out how to smoke pot.
 
shit... if i were a caveman and i stumbled upon that beautiful looking plant, i would have eaten the buds whole just to try and gain some of its power. bread or no bread. fuck, you could even skip the mayo, i'll eat that sammich dry.
 
Sorry, I missed the last few posts-- I was... uh, baking some bread. Or something. Anyway, something was getting baked.

Could you repeat the posts, please?

Did you just say that Lucy is a homo?

OUR Lucy? The fascist canuck?

Nooooooo... say it ain't so. :phprolleyes:
 
Whose dual are you? SEPH'S?
 
Pot was invented in 420 BC lol omg.

I thought it always existed. You've never heard of Cigarette Trees?

On a summer day in the month of May a burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane, he was looking for his liking.
As he roamed along he sang a song of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay for many a day, and he won't need any money

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees near the soda water fountain,
At the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings on the Big Rock Candy Mountains

There's a lake of gin we can both jump in, and the handouts grow on bushes
In the new-mown hay we can sleep all day, and the bars all have free lunches
Where the mail train stops and there ain't no cops, and the folks are tender-hearted
Where you never change your socks and you never throw rocks,
And your hair is never parted

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees near the soda water fountain,
At the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings on the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh, a farmer and his son, they were on the run, to the hay field they were bounding
Said the bum to the son, "Why don't you come to the big rock candy mountains?"
So the very next day they hiked away, the mileposts they were counting
But they never arrived at the lemonade tide, on the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees near the soda water fountain,
At the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings on the Big Rock Candy Mountains

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking, and he said "Boys, I'm not turning."
"I'm heading for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains;"
"So come with me, we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, there's a land that's fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarete trees,
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall, the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, you never change your socks
And little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
And you can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin,
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels, no axes, saws or picks,
I'm a-goin' to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this comin' fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains!
